What degree of interest would they have in the women's family? :)

Absolutely. This is the area we should be focusing on - to maintain a work-life balance which is essential for holding on to the Indian family values (whichever version you choose to follow).
Wrongly accusing women who choose to stray from the traditional domain of domestic administration is not going to help address issues which are the need of the moment.

This is debatable, and these are the debates that we should be having now. The freedom of choice to work/not work and things like the above.
Not debating 'if liberated women have diluted Indian family values or not'. The debate will be unproductive as it will only give more ammunition for chauvinists.

No, equality does not mean flow from one direction only (from men to women), it can go in the other direction as well and fidelity and self restraint is one such.

Does that feel better now, or somethin more needed? :D

Could women ask for more? Aren't we trained to accept empty words with a simle. :)

I think I have said enough. As the cliche goes - to each their own.

Is career the only or best tool to tackle chauvinism? :huh:

Yes it is, as it grants the all important financial independence.

What a myth that homemakers do not have financial independence? A vast majority of women hold the purse-strings!!! :yes:

If your referring to career as in JOB- this is a much cliched statement that is far from true! A job can NEVER grant financial independence to ANYONE (I dont mean just women btw!), quite the opposite in fact. But let's not digress into tat here! :)
