I would like to ask a simple question to those who think it takes courage on a woman's side to be a housewife and raise kids instead of getting a job and making a career. Would you think the same if a man decided to do the same? I guess you wouldn’t. You would think that he is a “na marda”. And this is due to the fact that you think it is mainly women’s job to raise kid and clean houses. And it is this kind of reasoning that builds a male dominant society.
In some European countries, dads take maternity leave of almost a year to stay home and take care of the new born. It is perfectly normal.
I cannot understand when I see a woman, very well educated and apt decide to not work but to take care of her kids. I think it is such a waste in her part when there are tons and tons of women in the world who deliberately want to go out and work but just cannot because their husbands decide they should not. I am for empowering women. And like I mentioned in my previous post, a lot of power comes from financial freedom.
