Is it forgotten that we all are humans before being men or women? Aren't we supposed to equal. I would like to ask one question to answer all the questions in the topic: what century are these views from?
I live in Canada but respect Indian culture just as much but I would never in my life agree to stay at home to do household work while my degree rots in the wardrobe. I will work to the best of my ability and make the best out of my life and education.
My family is well-to-do so technically if I work, I will be "occupying" a seat. But I wouldn't be working just because I need money. Working gives you a sense of self-reliability and independence. The reason for working go much deeper then just earning money. They make u independent and give u a sense of fulfillment.
After marriage, even if my husband is the richest guy in the whole country, I would still work. I will spend the money that i have earned. Independence is a great feeling and I think some people have dramatically underrated independence. Lets see how men would like to stay at home, cook, clean, look after children, take orders and see their whole life passing by day after day with nothing significant to do while their shining degree sits quietly on the top of the dusty shelve.
Women ARE equal to men. Women don't need to prove it, they already have. Its the old society that has bent all the views to fit its age old views. I would personally have no problems with working at home and contribute but if me and husband work equal hours and we both work equally hard, he could NEVER in his life expect me to come home and do slave labour to serve him and give in to his every demand. I would work hard and do all I can to contribute towards the household and would expect him to do the same. Now that would be an ideal man.
