What Chetan Bhagat has to say about working women

Hai everyone!!! I found this in FB. Thought I'd share it with you all!


My mother worked for 40 years. My wife is the COO at an international bank. It makes me proud. She doesn't make phulkas for me. We outsource that work to our help, and it doesn't really bother me. If my wife had spent her life in the kitchen, it would have bothered me more. 

One,
a man who marries a career woman gets a partner to discuss his own career with. A working woman may be able to relate better to organizational issues than a housewife. A spouse who understands office politics and can give you good advice can be an asset. 
Two,
a working woman diversifies the family income streams. In the era of expensive apartments and frequent lay-offs, a working spouse can help you afford a decent house and feel more secure about finances. 
Three, 
a working woman is better exposed to the world. She brings back knowledge and information that can be useful to the family. Whether it's the latest deals or the best mutual fund to invest in, or even new holiday destinations, a working woman can add to the quality of life. 
Four, 
the children of a working woman learn to be more independent and will do better than mollycoddled children.
Five, 
working women often find some fulfillment in their jobs, apart from home. Hence, they may have better life satisfaction, and feel less dependent on the man. This in turn can lead to more harmony. 

We must accept and even celebrate our successful women. They take our homes ahead and our country forward. We may have less hot phulkas, but we will have a better nation. β€” Chetan Bhagat

Thanks a lot for sharing. While I appreciate Chetan's views on the subject there are pros and cons to both working and non working woman. To say one is better than the other does not find my acceptance.

not all men have similar thoughts
they want the income from wife and expect her to be perfect housewife after work
