Its difficult to hear from your male colleagues "Its OK if you don't go for a PG(post graduation) or do just a normal job or even do not work at all. After all your husband will be there to earn for you and your family". It makes me wonder guys even today think in that way. How typical!!
Why cant we still accept that women can have career aspirations which are as serious as men's?? Why does she have to do the additional job of convincing her family,husband etc that what she wants to pursue is not for mere timepass???
Women now-a-days want to earn not because circumstances force her to do so but because she has her own aims to fulfill,because she is strong and ambitious and wants to be independent and, most importantly, because she loves what she does.
I came across this article in a magazine which made me write this post. Have a look at it. It'll make you think too.

With changing times everyone needs to change. Men should respect the jobs their moms,sisters and wives do irrespective of the fact of whether they earn more or less than them. A little support and respect for her aspirations and ambitions is all a woman desires from her family and husband!
