The originator of this thread is still in the past.  Gone are the days when women were subjugated under male dominance - first under the father's and brothers', then under the husband's, and then under the sons'.  With proper planning, clarity of vision, determination and hard work, any one - be it man or woman - can survive and do well anywhere, particularly outside of Nepal and similar societies where people like the orignator of this thread rule the roost.

So, women, more power to you!!!
