Hernandez, 37, stated that women should do this by "cleaning", "multiplying", and "maintaining"
Known as Chicharito by football fans, he believes that women are making society "hypersensitive".
He made the shocking rant in a video which he posted on Instagram for his 6.1million followers.
He said: "Women, you are failing.
"You are eradicating masculinity by making society hypersensitive.
"Embrace your feminine energy: nurturing, caring, receiving, multiplying, cleaning, maintaining the home, which is the most precious place for us men.
"Do not be afraid to be women, to allow yourselves to be led by a man who only wants to see you happy, because we do not know heaven without you.
"Holding yourselves responsible for your energy is also a way of loving you.
"Men, we are failing in the lack of commitment, putting our partners last, not keeping our word, and not prioritising habits to become admirable.
"I understand that we are afraid to speak and truly express what we feel because they are trying to eradicate masculinity, since in certain cases of the past, feminine energy was suppressed, but many of us are here wanting to love you, take care of you, respect you, and provide for you.

"But you women must learn to honour masculinity."
The sexist ramblings were slammed by fans on social media as they reacted to Hernandez.
One posted: "This video really makes you crazy. Just to think that honouring the woman is reducing her to taking care of the house."
A second commented: "You're losing me."

A third wrote: "Come on, Javier, it's sad to see you like this, please stop."
A fourth said: "Fragile masculinity in 3 2 1."
Another added: "I gotta stop watching this, it's killing me."
He has previously spoken about his struggles following his split from model wife Sarah Kohan four years ago.
Hernandez played for Man United between 2010 and 2015 when he made his permanent exit to Bayer Leverkusen.
That was not the end of his days in the Premier League as he returned to England and joined West Ham in 2017.
After two years at the London Stadium, the Mexican had spells at Sevilla and LA Galaxy before joining his boyhood club, Guadalajara.
Hernenadez enjoyed great success during his career as he became Mexico 's top goalscorer with 52 goals in 109 appearances.
The poacher also won two Premier League titles while with the Red Devils.
However, since returning to Mexico, he has had his game time limited due to a series of injuries.

The six new holiday rules for summer
Holiday rules are already a confusing plethora of official regulations and local customs. And earlier this month, officials in the Italian town of Portofino threw a handful of googlies into the mix when it announced that tourists can no longer walk through the town's cobbled streets barefoot, in swimsuits or indeed topless. Alcohol can only be consumed in bars and restaurants, and God forbid you take a snooze on a wall. The new rules are targeted with precision at uncouth holiday makers and follow similar pan-European crackdowns, which include Vigo in Spain banning peeing in the sea, stealing pebbles in Sardinia and mooning in Grecian town squares. To navigate these regulations and others, here's my essential six new holiday rules. Don't leave home without it. Disguise the pee-at-sea I can't see how the Spanish authorities will effectively police their law against 'physiological evacuation at sea' as I doubt a band of uniformed snorklers will be taking to the waves to catch those worthy of a £650 fine. But they could spot you from the beach. So if you've decided that the beach loo is so foul that it's worth risking a fine, at least pee while you swim. Do not be a cruise bore Heavy fines await anyone who strikes up conversations with strangers on holiday on the subject of cruises, particularly while travelling on cruise ships. Your knowledge of deck numbers, cabaret, restaurant facilities, excursions, staff-to-passenger ratios, hull strength or balcony-laden floating condominiums are not topics for public consumption. Do not take iPads to restaurants If you're foolish enough to own such a device, do not let it leave the bedroom in the evening. On no account bring it to a taverna with the idea that it will keep the kids quiet unless, of course, you wish to be perceived as a regressive gimp. It's better for humanity if your offspring engage in food fights and it's grotesquely offensive to continental culture that favours conversation. But books, card games and colouring-in is very much allowed. Learn some local lingo You must pay respect to the locals and learn the following few crucial sentences so that you can fit in and pleasantly surprise the natives. 'Six beers, please', 'Can you re-heat these chips?', 'I can't afford Château Minuty, do you have any retsina?' 'I have no money but my son will do the washing up', 'What's the Wifi code?', 'Can we get free drinks if we tag you on Instagram?' Enjoy hire car roulette Post-Brexit, it is now harder to gain access to European resolution systems so just enjoy the game for what it is. Thus simply treat the following as a cultural lesson as you discover the hire car is a shuttle-bus-ride away from the airport, there's a queue outside the office with no shade, the staff are competing to see who can display greater nonchalance and there are no water or loo facilities. Their office is closed on the day of your flight home so you'll have to bring it back the day before, oh, and it'll need to be returned with a full tank although the nearest petrol station is 50 miles away. Holiday like you're on holiday Terrible punishments will be meted out to those who confuse holiday with travel. Travel is what occurs to and from the holiday; it's the nightmare bit, no longer some romantic interlude of discovery. A holiday is about no washing up, or shopping or cooking. It is not about the news, or emails, or X or Trump, but about the pool and your sunbed in relation to it. And, endeavouring against my better judgement to adhere to much of the above, I hope to see you back here in two weeks if I return.

Heidi: Rescue of the Lynx review – baby lynx is extra ingredient in new version of classic Alpine yarn
In a picturesque mountain village in the Swiss Alps, a property developer named Schnaittinger is working away to convince the naive local inhabitants that his proposal for a new sawmill is just what they need to get their economy humming. In this inoffensive and ultimately uninspiring children's animation, peppy little tomboy Heidi realises pretty quickly that this self-styled entrepreneur – sample line: 'Machines can help us live a better life' – really only cares about his own profit margins. Heidi and her friend Peter are given an added incentive to foil the bad guy's dastardly schemes in the form of an adorable baby lynx that would be imperilled by the development of the area. The lynx is cute in that standard no-brainer kid's animation way, with big eyes and a stumbling gait guaranteed to tap directly into the 'preserve and protect' part of your brain. Unfortunately, watching Heidi unravel Schnaittinger's evil plot is an exercise in well-intentioned narrative predictability. Various narrative curlicues such as Heidi's outcast grandfather's redemption in the eyes of the villagers and Heidi's pen pal Clara showing up in the third act don't add much jeopardy to matters. The original novel from which this stems – Heidi, by Swiss children's author Johanna Spyri – is about an illiterate orphan whose kind-hearted ways transform the life of her grumpy grandad in the Swiss mountains, and is one of the bestselling books of all time. It's fair to say this film, which makes use of the same set of characters but is otherwise a new story, will not ascend to the same Alpine heights of popularity. Lessons such as 'it's better to be good than rich' are undeniably true, but adult viewers will find themselves wishing this dubbed German-Spanish-Belgian co-production had found a marginally more surprising or exciting vehicle for their laudable messages. Heidi: Rescue of the Lynx is in UK and Irish cinemas from 1 August.

Why on earth does J D Vance want to holiday in the Cotswolds?
In 1925, if Charles G Dawes, the US Republican vice-president and future ambassador to the United Kingdom, had taken his vacation in Britain, it is unlikely that the Cotswolds would have been on his itinerary. London, certainly, to meet the prime minister, Stanley Baldwin; and perhaps Scotland for the grouse shooting. But a century ago, the Cotswolds were a picturesque agrarian backwater. The novelist Nancy Mitford, who grew up by the Windrush valley, immortalised her childhood landscape in The Pursuit of Love as a place inhabited by backwoods peers and their gamekeepers, with fox hunting the only distraction from the prevailing rustic ennui. The pretty villages and rolling hills of the Cotswolds have captivated artists and writers, from William Morris and T S Eliot to Jilly Cooper's racy Rutshire chronicles and Armistead Maupin, whose most recent novel, Mona of the Manor, is a camp romp set in Gloucestershire. In summer the residents brace themselves for the coach parties that throng the quaint streets. But they are currently braced for sightings of a different sort of vehicle: the armoured SUVs of the vice-presidential security detail, escorting J D Vance and his family to their holiday home. The transformation of the Cotswolds from a beautiful and rather private swathe of middle English landscape to a hub of high-wattage celebrity and political power has been a gradual process, with dramatic effects. Resident celebs – invariably voluble about the charm of a simple, rustic life – include Kate Moss, David Beckham, Damien Hirst and Idris Elba. And the group of political and media figures known as the Chipping Norton set (whose supposed members deny that any such entity exists) includes the former prime minister, David Cameron (now Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton), the television presenter, farmer, shopkeeper and publican, Jeremy Clarkson, the News International executive, Rebekah Brooks and her husband, the racing columnist Charlie Brooks, the media executive Elisabeth Murdoch and her then husband, Matthew Freud, et al. The Spectator magazine reports that 'apparently senior British political figures, who have knowledge of the Cotswolds social scene' are helping with the Vance family's holiday arrangements. Where power congregates, so does the necessary infrastructure, and the Cotswolds is now lavishly supplied with facilities that might attract a US vice-president in search of some R&R: private members' clubs, each more exclusive than the last, pubs owned by celebs and an American-owned deli in Stow-on-the-Wold. Local estate agents report a surge in wealthy American clients seeking to settle permanently in the area. In the vanguard were the comedian Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, who sought sanctuary in the UK after the election of President Trump. DeGeneres enthuses about their new life: 'Everything here is just better,' she told the broadcaster Richard Bacon. 'People are polite.' The Vance family will hope she is right about the politeness: their recent US vacations were bedevilled by protests, and there are rumours of 'resistance' in the Cotswolds. Meanwhile the Americanisation continues apace. All that is missing is a reality show, along the lines of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But in Charlbury, preparations have begun for a pilot with a cast of unspeakably glossy and well-connected residents – rumoured working title, Ladies of the Cotswolds. What fun Nancy Mitford would have had with it all.
