As I have always asserted, the Indian society needs a big shake-up, times are changing and so should we.

She is not too sensitive about minor issues like aborting a baby girl. She will not mind demanding a dowry for a lovingly raised son. She will choose a bride for him -the kind of girl who will look after her. The boy dare not object, even if he likes another girl. She is likely to take the easy way out (for herself) and insist upon a daughter or sister in law staying at her husband's house no matter how much she is abused. Yes, I see the picture.

May be education and independence will come naturally to women if they realise how important it is to be independent. To be able to live life not as a dependent but as a support system of a household. Men also need to realise that they also need to enter the kitchen and rock a baby to sleep. After all, the fight is not about being equal to men, for me, I would rather expect everyone to support each other be it home or outside. The fight for me, is about being treated equal. Importantce of being capable of taking independent decisions, run a family, live on your own, will be the 1st step towards that state of being equal in all respect. To give away the Lady's seat to an elderly gentleman rather than fight for it will be a step towards equality. Very well written post and i agree fully.
