All poets are liars, this is so -- however, the lie of the poet may be the truth of the reader, and it's fair to say that for every lie there's someone who believes it to be truth. So say rather, there is truth in all poetry, but it need not touch the poet 
Though the housewife is not real, the connotations are present (not real, of course, you can't eat semantics). The good housewife becomes such after a dutiful turn in the stereotyping pool.
