Independent Indian Women Offend Indian Men

I don't get it. When Indian women ask for a well off husband, Indian men get offended. When an Indian woman says she doesn't need a man for anything else (insert, paying bills, getting a house, jewels, dresses and other expenditure) but for sperm cells, Indian men get offended too!

What do you guys want really? On KK Facebook page itself, so many Indian guys speak of the 'entitled middle class princesses syndrome' that is, right after college, getting married to America mappilai and of course, asking for a financially settled man. They say, "If you are an empowered woman, then you don't need a man to pay your bills."

Be able to pay your own bills, cook for yourself and clean up after yourself. Man or woman.

Lookie here dudes, when your sister wants to get married, will you agree to a no count, philandering, jobless and waiting-for-a-woman-to-come-and-change-his-life-motivate-him-to-get-up-and-move-his-ass kind of mappilai?

This meme only says half the story

Okay, we women are not saying we won't contribute anything - we will add value. But, we should not be the only one adding value while our other half is content to cadge and be a freeloader. Cooperation is the word. And, housewives aren't 'sitting at home doing nothing' either.

We are not proponents of greed. We believe that if you want to live a high end life, it should be from the money you make by yourself. That's why we lobby so hard for women's education and job going - Indian men are silent when we say those things but quick to condemn women who society has brainwashed into believing that marriage is the purpose of life and that depending on husband for all their needs is the way of life. We believe in interdependence. We believe that every adult should have a financial income and security - men, women, aged parents and homemakers, both female and male.

You create memes like these, downplaying girls' academic achievements and career goals and then tell women not to expect men to pay their bills

It's 2018 and yet on Facebook, there are Indian men debating on the topic 'Can women be let to get an education?" with many saying, "No." So many Indian husbands make their wives discontinue working for patriarchal, sexist and stereotypical reasons - making their better half feel guilty for wanting to have financial independence. These guys are flummoxed beings who aren't sure of what they want and are oxymoronic. Let me get this straight. So, you guys want women to depend on you for everything including children, not be educated, not earning by the means of a job, shouldn't expect a well-settled husband, should pay their own bills and not depend on men for anything.
