So apparently the Indian community has a way to go in the evolution of broader thinking.
There is a new question that my mother gets asked recently:
Is your daughter going to work after she gets married?
My mum usually looks at them strangely and replies: yeeesss……
I am unsure what this is all about, but my assumptions are
1. Careers are something that you do to keep busy while looking for a husband
2. Careers are a good way to find a husband
3. Marriage is a career change
4. When married your career is no longer important
It really makes me soooo angry. Like so angry I want to shake them and ask them if they are aware of what century we live in
I hate that people don’t take my career or me seriously. I know that whether we buy a house or a car or anything, they will congratulate the guy on it. It is unfair because the working wife played a role in getting it.
I really want to go back to hiding under my rock, being that girl that they use to pity because I didn’t have a husband and kids. They could keep their stretchmarks thank you!
Now they trying to make me one of them! Like an creepy alien movie where they take over your mind!
I would rather saw off my left arm with a plastic teaspoon than become some complacent female.
Girl Power all the way! Till I croak actually!
