Okay so when it comes to choosing a type of career and employment women are still practically restricted from choosing the profession they want. But as we know history, how reluctantly people are educating their daughters, so sometimes for any girl even receiving and reaching till graduation is sufficient.
First we all know people didn’t even send girls to school and married them off early ,later people started to educate them till 10th , then 12th and now till graduation , post graduation. Though let’s not even forget that these changes were also made because the boys started demanding for educated girls. So you can say this change has been positive but still these boys want educated wives because they think that educated girls may help them in handling responsibilities not that she can earn for herself.
Even though today girls can choose their own profession but still they are always recommended to opt for a job which can give me time flexibility so they can look after the family.
Still jobs like telecalling , working as a call girl , modelling , acting and specifically all jobs related to showbiz are considered degrading according to our society. According to people, women can’t do joans that contain physical strength ,so jobs that contain tables and chairs are suitable for ladies.
The jobs like being a police woman , pilots,army officer are called manly jobs and they think that they are not feminine jobs. So basically women are discouraged at every point. Also sadly there is less security to women so often just by these issues women have less choices to choose and have to give up many remarkable opportunities.
Also if they dare to do jobs which are prohibited according to society they are questioned for their character and often disrespected. Even today there are some sectors where facilities for women are not updated. So I won’t deny that even professions discriminated.
