What an awesome question, thank you for asking it! This is close to my heart. First let me say I'm sorry that your wife doesn't see your mothers offerings as valid, especially since she is reaping the benefit of it!!!
I wonder to if she were raise in a chavanist family that the father dictated to her that her role as a women was nothing more then to be a submissive wife and mother would have registered in her mind as O.K.? After all doesn't she have a strict idea as to what a "man" can or can not do?

Naturally if either of my sons came to me with the same questions you did with your mother I would do my best to answers them. And one great way of getting that answer is to experience the at question activity. I always emerge my boys in what they desired to try, with the caveats that they give it all and make the commitment. If they wanted to play soccer they were given the opportunity, but they had to fulfil their obligations, if they didn't like it, they needed to finish the season before trying something else. Now neither of them asked to try being a girl. But had they, I would have immersed them into that making it a commitment. No not full time, but I would have insisted that they don't kid around and take it seriously. As so much as to experience what a young girl may have had to endure in the dealings with males. But that wasn't the case. What was the case, was they saw and heard their father take on the role of female, mother, wife very seriously. And we're constantly given choices and admonished if they made sexist choices. As a result I have two very loving understanding and dedicated husbands and fathers. My daughter in laws are very pleased and consider me a surerget mother in law.
