Any Answer?

We (women) demand for equal rights!! Equal pay, equal status…..and what not!!!We scream if we are exploited, we scream if we are paid less then men!! We protest against them!! We celebrate WOMEN'S DAY……..!!!!

But when it comes to get married, why do we demand that MY MAN should earn more then me?

Yup there is also an exception to it, if its an love marriage, we are so deeply involved in him that "SAL" doesn't matter to us , but when its an arrange "we expect him to earn more then us"?

Is it not a double standard? :f

its one of those things that are socially engrain in our minds... traditionally the man's supposed to provide for this family. therefore it makes sense that he should earn adequately. also, if the woman earns more, it is likely that ego issues will crop up. of course with the changing society, all these things wud change too..but its not going to be a over n ight thing.

cm chap said...

True... Why shd it be?

But my guess is that... ppl are jst following it for sometime they dnt thnk is it really make any sense....

Exceptions r ones like Indra Nooyi

Chakoli said...

@mandira

If its and ego issue, men would themselves say NO to marry to a gal who earns more then them...but its from us... when we ask he shud earn more...

Chakoli said...

@cm-chap

nopes dear...
people dont follow it just like that...but its is among the must condition of a gal.....

Indra Nooyi...lol.... there would be more to come:-))

**We (women) demand for equal rights!! Equal pay, equal status….

U work with IBM... :P
lolzzz

well, i m unable to understand this, but i guess many men dont want their women to work and earn more than them, though i would love to be a house husband... :D

ehhehe

i dont think its a double standard, its fair in the kinda world we r living in..., though my personal opinion is, relationship has nothing to do with it, only ego...

Talkin abt love marriages i guess most of the sacrifices are made there only...not so much in arrange, just try to read through... :)

Nice Post!!!

Cheers!!!

Vrijilesh Rai said...

Hmmm.. I guess the women want their men to work much more than them.. thats what they try to mean indirectly ;)

And yes, chai elaichi waali aur biskut kali mirch waale milenge aapko ;)

Chakoli said...

I wrk in similar one like IBM :PPPP

Men have a prob I agree but why do women have a problem is my question:_)))

u want to be a house husband...good one of my frd is looking fr someone liek u....give me ur cell no:PPPP

Its not fair at all dear.... see...I didnt got even a single reason why we ask men to earn more?

Chakoli said...

@vrij...

Chalega.... biscuit nahi khani humhe..sirf chai;-))

Ankur said...

ask her to drop me a piece ... i would be more than happy :D
hehehe

**I didnt got even a single reason why we ask men to earn more?

hehe.. so u want me to elloborate???

well... i guess woman want man to earn more coz the reason they understand that in this world, if she will earn more than the ego clashes will keep happenning...
Also the fact that u desire for better, always, so when u earn say X amt then u always desire ur husband to earn X + something...
Also when u know that the inflation is rising at 7% per annum, it becomes quite difficult to sustain with ur shoppin habbits, and if someone gets one like me, who doesnt save any at the end of the month... then she must look for someone who earns more... :D (tats the fun part)


and btw... We at IBM believe in all this, i guessed coz at IBM the equality is already there :P
:P

Cheers!!!

Ankur said...

and tat is ... drop me a mail... not piece.. gosh.. wat blunders m i committing!!! :(

@ chakoli ...
what do women actually want yaar ...

KP said...

It is double standard. I guess arrange marriage is more of financial security. one needs to be financialy secured to live comfortable life.
I know couple with love marriage where woman earns more than man....they are living happily.

Anonymous said...

Good point :) Actually its not that women only want it,but men too feel inferior if the wife happens to earn more than them.Ego cant handle it....and well it helps if the man earns more...more bucks for shopping :)

As some ppl have said, it's simply a security issue. In an arrange marriage, you don't really know the thought processes of the person you're marrying, nor do you have an established compatibility, so it makes sense to make sure the external factors (e.g. family acceptance, lifestyle compatibility, caste/religion, primary preferences)are all right (unlike love marriages, when these things are the unknown and often problematic factors which u hopt o tide by with an established intimacy). In this sense, one tends to avoid potential ego issues or hassles, and men have huge egos! the probability that they starting having issues if the wife earns significantly more is so high that it's not worth the risk in an arranged marriage. Intellectual compatibility and a comparable or greater salary are pre-reqs.
