Nilasha,

I agree with much of what you have written. But us sisters need to talk about the solution also. We can't always just keep complaining about the problem and expect the men to solve all of the problems. This is disempowering to the women. Instead, we need to figure out the solution and then tell them how to act and what they should do. But few women take the time to see what the solution should be.

Women like you and I need to step forward. There is a whole other generation of Western educated Nepali women like us that can make a difference. The traditional minded Nepali men might not like that. Oh, well, you can't make all people happy all the time. Right?
