Which woman would like to marry a man inferior to her? You can not really blame ony men or The Indian society. Every woman wants a man who s more capable and powerful if there was a Choice.

Can we really generalize? There are women who marry men perceived by society as inferior to them. However, isn't inferiority very subjective?

Brick_red , you proved my point. " inferior as perceived". I can generalize. People who are different are in the minority and they find some thing that they want which is not perceived as superior. We only

Talk about what the norm is.

About matriarchial society, in India there is only one which is in Kerala. I have heard about it in

Indonesia also in the island of Sumatra even though the religion follwed is predominantly islam.

You may find it in among few cultures in the world. But majority of cultures are patriarchial.

In movies and serials when they show a woman emancipation, she has to be a collector or a

Very successful professional or a topper in school.What about ordinary woman? with good

Common sense and will to live a happy life with dignity? This is where Indian culture differs

From the west. In order to get some respect the woman has to be a super woman among

Ordinary mortels in Indian movies.

In the western world even an ordinary woman can expect some freedom and independence.

That is the difference. How to measure true success? There is IQ and EQ. One has to balance.
