The role of moms and wives in Nepali families

And for your information, there are Nepali men who are very close to me who have been stay-at-home dads raising their kids while their women worked. Admitted, these men live in the States. We in Nepal are too backwards to digest this. 

Do any of you feel that these 'stay-at-home dads' and 'home husbands' are any less as men because they don't earn 6 figure salaries? Do you? You as an individual may not, but Nepali society will definitely consider them inferior and less respect worthy than a 6 figure earning male.

What does that tell you about our value system? We don't care about men or women...or children for that matter. All that matters to our society is money. 

I think if there should be a revolutionary movement in Nepal there should be one where all Nepalese, whether they are men, women or children should all unite and try to gain equality with the power of money.  Now that's a movement I would love to see!
