A male dominant society always has a higher number of housewives. Although I respect personal choice, I cannot understand why a woman of 21^st century would decide to become a housewife. In doing so, she compromises her freedom, mainly financial thus making herself venerable to abuse from her spouse. A working woman is an emancipated one. She can decide to move on and leave her disrespecting and abusive husband behind. Ever wondered why societies where women work and can earn their living have higher divorce rates? And why is this trend in rise even in a backward society like in Nepal?

In my opinion, a woman should do all she can to put herself in a better and a stronger situation.
 

Raising children, cooking and cleaning houses are no more just women’s chores. If a male cooking chef can cook to make a living, he can do the same to feed his family. If a janitor can clean buildings, he can clean his house as well. And children need their dad as much as their mom. Just because in Nepal, fathers never spend time with their kids except to scold them does not make them good dads. Neither does cooking, cleaning and raising kids make any mom a liberated woman.
