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.
