I do NOT agree with this view :)
by Dev Sharma on Aug 31, 2006 07:26 PM

I do NOT agree with this view b'coz i believe that it is the "values"(moral,ethical,character,spiritual & all) that counts & that too depends upon the upbringing of the person concerned. I'm Well educated man & well placed. My family too consists of Gallentry Award winners, Class one officers & so on. Yet i'm the guy who is attracted to career-oriented women as i feel it is the value system of that our cultural heritage gave that matters & NOT concerned with any gender i mean man or woman. We should NOT lable woman like this. I would be happy to marry a career-oriented woman....but yes for anybody & in any situation family comes first.

Indian women should work
by sojae on Aug 29, 2006 10:20 PM  | Hide replies

There is a difference between a Career Woman and a Working Woman. Most of the guys here don't seem to realize that. There is nothing wrong with a woman working. Stepping outside the house will give her a stronger sense of self worth and identity. Some guys have written that "working women are cheaters" and "spend money on attire". Such sweeping statements are ridiculous and baseless. I wonder if these guys will ever educate their daughters and let them lead a fuller life or will the little girls be confined to the four walls of the house after 12th grade. For all the talk about "India's booming economy" and being the "next super power" etc. is this not a huge step backwards?

arre chatterjee boka!! dont mention this in the matrimonial ad which you place otherwise you will remain a bachelor throughout your life!!

"working women are cheaters" and what about men? working or not working they have the right to cheat according to you!!??

Hi,I would not marry a career woman. As, most of them are selfish,lier,opportunist,egoist,devil,flirt,loose character,polygamous and not home-maker. I want happiness and not quarrel for a life-time or divoce.That is why,divorce among educated urban youth is increasing in India.But,every rule has exception. So,if you find a career-maker and home-maker simaltanously in a honest and adjusting woman . Then ,you are among luckiest person of the world. Samik Chatterjee

Marrying a career woman
by Murli Nair on Aug 29, 2006 01:00 PM  | Hide replies

I think a family having a career woman, especially after childbirth is not healthy for the family, for the community and ultimately for humanity. The best example is the West, where man and woman meet have children, stay for some days together, then part, the woman raises the children alone, they mature, forget about their parents and the parents die lonely deaths. On the other hand, in the East, women are looked upon as a commodity, to be used and abused, their contribution to society, though enormous, is not tangible as a paycheck, hence they appropriate no rights, no property. The Buddha taught us more than 2500 years back to follow the middle path always. But I guess, we are, both the East and The West too dense to understand The Teacher, immersed as we are in our rituals and greed.

Woman should work or sit at home should be her own inner decision. In both ways she can excel if it comes from her heart. I am sure working and managing home especially with kids is challenge. Most of women around me do their best. If someone is saying working woman is facing failure on family front. Its not only her failure but failure of entire family. Most of the times it is one woman show. Then in that case it is likely that she may fail on some duties due to lack of capacity to manage everything. So if you want your partner to work and succeed you have to help her. If you cant do that as husband, better stay away from educated girls. Try to marry good looking show pieces. Well then dont try to see intellectual companion in your office. Because who say that working woman is character less, they themselves are cunny towards women.

YES / NO !!
by Vijay on Aug 29, 2006 10:52 AM

Yes/No.... In todays world a educated women cannot sit @ home wasting time & her intellect; but on the other side she has more responsibility on her; she has to look after her children, parents, husband etc.. if she is capable of balancing her personal life with work then there is no probs.

But most women fails, thats sad !! there might be many reasons, we guys need to encourage them & help her in family issues... both should assess their needs & wants of the family then they can decide whether to work or not...

Finally guys in my view if your financial position is good then no reason for sending ur wife to work, if she feels lonely @ home or have lots of time; can suggest her to do some social work & enjoy the real comforts of life with family.... SO ITS UP TO UR NEEDS & WANTS !!

Career woman !!
by Sai N on Aug 28, 2006 06:26 PM  | Hide replies

A career woman.

Does it mean a woman who will put her career before everything else ? Probably it would not be great marrying a career woman in this case.

Or does it mean a woman who would have her own career, while also keeping family as the priority...If this is the case I would marry a career woman.

Career Oriented Women...Bravo....

Hi
Well i feel that in this age of materialism it is very important for both husband and wife to support the family since the demands are always increasing . I am working women though not married but still feel that working women are smart,good at work ,sensitive to other's feeling compartively to men and extremely good at finishing tasks .Moreover if the women knows how to balance her work and career life then its great
Kudos to all working women since most of the times they strike a balance between thier profession and personal life with a lot of finesse .

Finally an Indian man who lives in the twenty-first century....may your tribe increase:)

And for all you male chauvinistic pigs out there, who expect their wives to houseclean and breed your progeny, please realize that you are now part of a more balanced world, where a woman has proven her capability on both professional and homemaking fronts.

So quit bulshitting yourself and the rest of the world, clean up your act, and own up to the responsibility of having a career, home, as well as children, just as any woman would.

hi
you know this is really funny if a girl is actress (heroine) she is loved by all, if she is collegue liked by many, if boss obeyed by many, but when she becomes your wife her capability reduces to home ground only.
Mother teressa is worshipped, Indira Gandhi is idiolised , sushmita sen loved but my wife only mine and only in my home.
