Career or home-making for women?


Career or home-making for women?

You are born in a society that kills girl child in the womb even before she has come to life, you cut girls from schools, make them drop even before matriculation only to keep them at home to do the household chores. Now when the time comes after a girl has completed schooling and was lucky enough to have college education, and finished that as well, she is well suited to have a career, a future, a job and she decides she wants to be the homemaker, makes one wonder how lame a person can be.
When a woman chooses to be a homemaker, a housekeeper, or a housewife, there are certain responsibilities that she now has; Wikipedia has a page dedicated only for this and each responsibility has a dedicated section (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homemaking). To be clear, some of these responsibilities include cooking, cleaning, laundry, maintenance (home and lawn), repair, operations, interior design, de-cluttering, purchases, etc., why lie?
However, as one in India would know and must have seen, hired maids, who do it to earn a meager living, perform all these tasks. For the women who called themselves homemakers "live lives queen-size". They have a husband to pay for everything, the one thing that she/they should have done themselves, I.e., educate the kids is done in private schools and home tuitions, etc., as they are unfit to impart something they didn't well receive in the first place.
The best thing that these women are good at is in fighting with their in-laws or kids or whoever it is in their way of life. I have seen a lot such fighting, and it is in these fights that you see the level of logic or intelligence they can apply to a situation, a word of advice though, if you do encounter a fight like this, don't mind the women's language.

Now I am a very positive person, I try to look at the bright side of everything and applying the same idea here, I see that even though these women add to the count of the unemployed in the country, they do not add to the count of the poor.
