It always pre-assumed in our society that working women should only need to compromise or balanced their personal life and professionally separately. They are not expected to take work stress to overcome their personal life, If that happens they are judged by every other people they knew, all this thing creates pressure to perform well or otherwise they feel obliged to quit their jobs and that leads to loss of their career opportunities. On the contrary, if we flipped this situation toward men it is accepted that women understand his situation and motivated him towards his career growth, nobody will question men if he is balancing his personal life or taking time out for family or not. Women don’t have the intention to ignore their personal life. And men should also expect to support her when she is busy working, he should try balance the other work. Some people just not ready to accept that women are growing in their career they just won’t pull her down, they start taunting women by she is selfish, does not give her time to family and she does not care about anyone but themselves. Before targeting women people should discuss and ask women what is going wrong. it is not mandatory that always women are responsible for household duties and responsibilities, there should be an equal division of work between men and women. Sometimes working women get caught up in the work, she gets a little late. Men should understand the situation before questioning. Women should not accept her mistake when she is not wrong and fight for herself, then only this will change the thinking of the society, nothing is wrong with being independent, men should not force the women to quit his career just because she is not perfectly balancing her work life.
