Katherine Schwarzenegger has ignited a furious backlash after she appeared to mock feminism while praising husband Chris Pratt.

The 36-year-old nepo baby sparked criticism when she shared a video of her other half, 46, building a dollhouse for their daughters, Lyla, five, and Eloise, three.

In text that appeared over the top of the footage, Schwarzenegger wrote: 'I'll never understand when women say, "I don't need my husband" when I very much in fact do need my husband because who else would build our daughters a dollhouse?'

Captioning the upload, which was aptly set to Olivia Dean's hit song Man I Need, she added: 'When you have a golden retriever husband.'

Social media users were irate at Schwarzenegger's comments and branded her a 'bad role model' as they pointed out that women can build dollhouses too.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one said: 'She's admitting she can't follow some IKEA instructions to build a dollhouse? Lol skill issue.'

'Rich nepo baby doesn't wanna build a dollhouse so she throws women under the bus,' another wrote. 'Cool.'

A third added: 'Girl bye. If you can't build a dollhouse then that's a you problem.'

Another posted: 'I don't know, she could try building a dollhouse. Choosing to be helpless makes her a bad role model for her own daughter.'

Others were less critical and instead praised Schwarzenegger for celebrating her spouse.

'Y'all are so sweet and just real,' one wrote. 'Thank you and thank you Chris Pratt for being a good man.'

'Men are not appreciated enough,' another commented.

'So grateful how men and women compliment each other.'

Schwarzenegger married Pratt in 2019, and the pair share three children, including 17-month-old son Ford.

Marvel actor Pratt was previously married to actress Anna Faris, with whom he shares 13-year-old son Jack Pratt.

The ex-couple met while filming the 1980s-set rom-com Take Me Home Tonight and began dating in 2007.

They got engaged the following year and tied the knot in Indonesia in 2009 before announcing their separation in 2017.

Jack, who was born nine weeks prematurely, developed minor issues with his leg muscles and vision during his otherwise healthy childhood.

Writing for Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper in December 2025, he said: 'Jack is now a healthy 13-year-old boy.'

'Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for his life, and for the lives of my other children.'
