Why do people in India look down upon housewives?

Prachi- ha ha lots of cross communication going on here. Update about husband and dogs are not for you dear

 

Pratchi- Either you are plagiarizing someone else's questions from other sites like Yahoo or India parenting or you are using multiple alias and re-posting on every site you can find these same innane questions.

What is the point of this? Genuinely confused:

Why do people in Indi look down upon housewives? - Women's Issues Discussion Forum - Relationships Message Boards

 

what to do, prachi, i am like that wonly! okay, will also pray to God for that plus an extra one for people to understand irony a bit better.

Ok , but you don't want to work and you want to marry a rich man so that you don't have to work. It's really your choice. It is similar to men saying they want to marry only a gori (pale skinned) girl. In the end it's their choice and in the end it's your choice if you want to marry a rich man and don't want to work, but this isn't exactly high thinking and if you post on a public forum, you will not get much approval for this kind of thought. I would say just keep looking. There are many rich men who look for beauty in their woman more than character or anything else. If you are really pretty, you should not have much problem finding that rich guy. Good Luck!

 

Another copy paste from some other site by op! Good work op!

 

In earlier days, if people were looking out for jobs it did appear as normal stuff.. But nowadays it is not the case. Example: if a girl / guy does not get a job through campus recruitment, the society looks down at those people. Why is it so? Why are the others too much bothered ?

respect comes with money now. Which is really sad.

When parents look for brides they see how rich they are with assets.. But they dont even ask the poor fellow if he is Inretested in getting married to that girl. Etc etc etc...

Sad reality...

 

Education and working status is the modern equivalent of dowry when it is becoming increasingly unacceptable to ask for one. Whereas before, inlaws could only ask for a one -off amount, now they can potentially make many more times that if the girl is well-educated and can hold a good job.

 

After reading this thread, I suddenly got a feeling that I am living among older generation people (or very fsat forward generation ). In this thread, it is told that only working women are getting respect. But is it truth???? I don't think so. I work, but I never got any respect from anyone, instead everyone looked down to me feeling that I work to enjoy, and escape from all responsibilities. But I have nver washed off my hands to take any responsibility. This kind of expression is not only from immediate family, but also from extended family, relatives, friends, or neighbours and what not!!(Mind you all these people are well qualified people like masters degree holders or engineers etc) . But I dont care about them because, I know whether it is necessity for me to work or not!! I know nobody comes to rescue me if I am in need.
