It would be unfair to say that only men are subject to conditioning by socially constructed myths. It’s time even the women rethink and regroom their thoughts and perceptions.
A few days ago I came across an FM debate in which the RJ was asking female listeners in India if they are ready to marry stay-home husbands. Among 50 odd women, only 2 women said that they were comfortable with stay-home husbands….
The debate strongly provoked me to the thoughts..How advanced have we women become? Don’t we still desire to marry a man with fat pay package? Don’t we dream of financial security from our husbands? Can we comfortably accept a man as a prospective groom who is unemployed?
The answers, I believe are very obvious. The fact remains, irrespective of being a man or a woman, we all are still shaped by the traditional unconscious running in our blood since the beginning of human society..
It will still take ages to unfree ourselves of these notional shackles.
