Today, in this modern era, where women are capable to have a career, be independent and stand on their feet. They’re still restricted for what they should do, the society keeps a list of terms and conditions in front of women when she decides to be independent, “come home in time”, “don’t wear short clothes” etc. Societies expect women to participate in household chores before walking on their career paths. Doing household chores is considered to be the first duty of a woman, whether she has to leave her career for that.
Women are asked to maintain a balance between house chores and their work so that their families don’t suffer. Men are never expected to compromise upon their work, women are. Since the ages men are expected to work, earn money and stay out of the household chores, even today when the times have changed, women are still expected to look after their house before stepping out of their houses, even if a woman’s working, she’s expected to think of her family/house first.
Generally, when a man comes home from work, he’s asked to take rest, have a meal etc, but on the other hand when a woman comes home from work she’s expected to cook food, manage groceries and look after the family. This is the discrimination women have been facing even after being independent.
To change the scenarios, women and men should equally lend their hands in household chores, women should not be burdened with the responsibilities all alone.
