And then I wondered whether they too believed in the things I believed in. And I wanted to know more. So I trotted off with a pencil and paper in my hand and questions on my mind. Most women don't. Though their reasons vary.
Some women feel that a woman's career can take a backseat to a man's in certain situations.
There are also those of us who feel the question itself is redundant as it subscribes to a male ethos and is based on the assumption of inequality among the sexes such as Divya Jain , a 24 year old Officer of Processing and Information Technology and Mamta , a 25 year old Investment Advisor. It helps to know I am not alone there are other women who believe in their careers, who are fighting for their place in the male-dominated workplace. We all realise that it often is a problem for men but we also agreed it shouldn't matter so much. Rinku said as long as there are joint finances, it shouldn't matter who contributes how much. But Rukma points out that we cannot expect society to change overnight considering the fact that, in our country, such prejudices are often imbibed in the process of growing up.
