Living USA doesn't mean there is no gender inequality. Please watch "19 and counting" where woman have baby and eldest daughters take care of their new born siblings (mum is baby machine and daughters are taught to do household chores i.e abuse on women by women), conservatives are against birth control, women take half of alimony that they never worked for (women have given more rights than men). These are few examples. If Nepali women enjoy celebrating Teej let them do that and OP feels good not doing so, lets be it. OP will not great advocate of gender equality just eliminating Teej festival. In our society, there is more abuse women on women (mother in law vs daughter in law, sister in law vs nanda, mother feels bad when she has only a daughter as child not son) than men on women.
