Men only want the weak females. Most of the girls I knew who stayed at home and didn't do much after high school had the argument - that what's the use, the more I get educated, the more my age goes by and the fewer men will want me.
Men have actually created this atmosphere - men and their families - by selectively choosing uneducated or masoom type girls they can take advantage of easily.
You are strong minded and have opinions - and you make it known - its like a curse. No one will send you a rishtaa and in fact, families will warn each other - woh bohat "bold" hai.
Yes, I totally agree. By giving into demands of what men like and what they prefer, we have made ourselves worthless.
Men like women who are lesser educated than them and who will earn less than them so that they can feel superior and women let them feel that way. And the reason why men like weaker females is so that they can boss them around and feel all masculine. Most eduated and well earning females woundn't be so controllable.
Once again, abuse is NOT just physical. If you look in most families in pakistan and even desis living abroad, not all of them actually hit their wives. But the emotional and verbal abuse is extremely common and women put up with it forever.
