I find women who normally raise such issues are shrill and unreasonable. Same questions can be asked with a little bit of sensitivity. And will get a response which is much more mature, sensitive and supportive.
For eg I can also ask " when can a female scientist discover how men can bear children" Well there is no scientific solution for that but there can be great solution between husband and wife to share the responsibilities during and after pregnancy to make a great family. The above article just overlooks this and gives out a shrill response to every question that is asked of a girl. Indicative of high level of frustration.
If not about rape, than gender thing..something silly has to appear
1. Not all women face such questions.
2. Many Women do get geuninely irritated during PMS and many also give PMS as an excuse to coverup bad temperament.
3. hundreds of Millions of women are working and prospering professionals and hunderds millions are currently studying to become professionals including a great number of women in India. Are their parents simply pumping money in education to make them cook and not work?
4. What is the harm in cooking? is giving good cooked food to family not greatly contributing to family's well being and properity?
5. Worldwide staistics reveal a good deal of bad driving by women, what is wrong in criticising some women for bad drving?
6. A lot of women drink and smoke and they are not questioned. Many spoil their offsprings and pregnancies due to this but no one stops them. Is it a great privilige to drink and smoke that it becomes an issue?
7. With so much of halla on gender equality in ciprorate worls, with so much of compuslory women hiring in west and india, what us stopping women from taking over coprorate baton from men? In the USA for example, women have been leading corporates since ages, why havent they been able to significantly overtake their males and eshatbalish a great feiminine mark despite all the ccategories of so called priviliges and freedoms including but not limied to freedom of avoiding maiirages, pregnancis, smoking, drinking, not cooking etc

8. There are so many unhappy couples who are not able to concieve because of continous procrastination of pregnancy for various reasons. If all aspects of life like adoloscene, youth etc are time and agebound, how can pregnancy not be age and time bound? It is not modern or trendy, rather it is selfish and double standards to delay pregnancy for enjoyment and avoiding responsibilities or career sake.
Common questions faced by both genders- 1.Majority of the Indians are curious to know the religion and caste. 2. Region- South Indian or North Indian. 3. Are you married and how many children do you have? 4. What are you doing? 5. Why are you not doing this? 6. Where do you stay? Many of these questions are asked within 10 to 15 minutes of acquaintance. Hence ladies only need not feel that they are questioned. Quite often ladies ask these questions and males rarely deal with others in the style mentioned in the article.
Society should never be built on equality between men and w0men. Society should be built on justice. Justice is delivered when w0men are protected and not allowed to perform tasks, which do not suit their physical build-up. Nobody is denying that w0men are mentally strong, can multitask, etc. But that doesn't mean that they have to perform everything that men do, just for the sake of doing it. In fact, w0men are already much ahead of men in terms of capabilities. There's no need for w0men to scale down to men's capabilities.
