Lambretta, the statement just means many women are forced to stay confined within the kitchen along with the grocery items like tamarind etc in spite of their educational qualifications. The tone is highly offensive, degrading housewives who may well be educated & content to do magic with grocery!!!
no, it could be through a lots of ways. a scientist will contribute through her research, a doctor can save pple's lifes, etc. it's not all abt the money! if it were so, parents don't have to take care of their children themselves. they can just pay someone to do it for them.Quote:
Uh, I'm afraid I dont quite see how this is possible....unless u mean being forced to part w/ ur salary for tax deductions etc. every month, not to mention paying VAT etc. while buying consumer goods w. ur salary, thus 'contributing' to someone (not nec. the world) other than ur family....:PQuote:
she can contribute more to the world than just bringing home the salary

For eg. nowadays there r abundant free enterprise ventures in our country tat r home-related & happen to be hugely successful w/ homemakers who want independant modes of earning incomes w/out having to go thru the daily monotonous drudge of rushing to & fro w/ 9-5 (or even longer) job routines for a fixed paycheck!
The way I look at it, in today's world, there r more (productive) ventures open to housewives rather than to those who r caught w/ busy career-oriented lives! :)
True again......'not saying careers r bad......but then, jus think for a moment.........given a choice, would u rather give the best of ur time to ur spouse/children or to someone else for a period of time?Quote:

atb!
And sorry forgot to wish u the same! :oops:
I dunno wats the big confusion here... the bottomline is, women shud be allowed to do what they feel like doing, be it house chores or office work.
But then, the responsibility rests with the woman to make the best choice. Best choice is always subjective, subjective w.r.to demands of the situation as well as the capability of the woman :roll:
TV, its not as easy as saying it dude........jus put urself in the shoes of sumone whoz married & then think wat it'll be like......sure its ok as long as there is a balance between the 2........which mind u, RARELY is the case nowadays w/ jobs getting more & more stressful/demanding than a regular 8-hr/day routine! In fact going to the extent of making committment to family a choice! :(Quote:

2 pts: firstly, it should be her choice. she shouldn't feel obligated to stay at home.Quote:

I certainly agree the same goes for men....I def. look fwd to having such a choice too.....the men happen to work is bcos of the simple reason tat the income depends on atleast 1 individual's ability to work....so someone has got to go out there & work.....& much as u may find this disturbing, I had rather tat it dont be the women in the house unless it becomes abs. necessary (in which case its usually a compulsion for a supplementary income)....Quote:

Or to provide a homely atmosphere. Good point, precisely wat I missed out including in my earleir psots! :DQuote:
