I wish you did ask a rav this question only because you would have gotten a way better answer. I’m just a regular mom but I’ll answer what I think and from what I hear. Hashem made women according to His will. That’s why we say “she’asa li kol sarki” (sorry don’t have Hebrew text on my keyboard)
Men need to do all those mitzvot to perfect themselves, we are already “perfect.”
A lady has to know every time we are cooking, cleaning, changing a diaper we are doing what Hashem wants, that IS holy work. It doesn’t seem like it is but it IS! It’s like we are working in the beit hamikdash, bringing a korban. The kohanim were busy all the time with korbanot we are busy all the time will cooking, and cleaning. Even if you are not married yet you do the mitzvot the best you can and wish happiness and there is nothing greater. You are doing what Hashem wants.
I think you just have to change your mind set to see it that way and you would not be “jealous” at all. Hashem made the world exactly how it should be He doesn’t need men and women doing the exact same thing. We each have our own rolls.
I hope that made sense. And I hope you have a healthy happy new year with menuchat hanefesh and menuchat haguf. There is nothing greater then feeling content and happiness in your every day life. I wish you and all of am yisrael that.
