Wages have not kept up with inflation here so it really is a necessity that both partners work, women participation rate has gone up from 25 percent to around 87 percent. No one forces anyone to work, there are millions on welfare here. So women have guardians there and also the abuse rates reported are over 80 percent so I am not sure if guardianship or dependence is working out that well. We know this family, mom is a muslim from India, hubby from Pak, mom makes twice as much compared to hubby but hubby who is a short weak man still bosses her around as he is religious and he thinks of himself as the guardian. Please dont feel bad for the western girls they are having a time of their life and enjoying their work, their income and their life. My client Kathy makes 100k a year, no male was involved in her buying decision and she travels every year, runs, exercises goes out with friends and seems to love her life.

Abuse rates in the west are high too.

This is for USA
Women are much more likely to be victims of intimate partner violence with 85 percent of domestic abuse victims being women and 15 percent men. Too many women have been held captive by domestic violence — whether through physical abuse, financial abuse, emotional abuse or a combination of all three.

Guardianship in itself is not bad. If someone abuses that, then it’s wrong and punish worthy. It’s like saying a knife is bad because it kills people whereas the purpose of the knife isn’t to kill. Of course I don’t feel bad for the western girls. I truly believe in, to each his own. I simply am glad I am from the East.
A guardian isn’t always a hurdle in traveling. My desi friend has a guardian, yet made two trips to Europe last year, without her guardian. I mention this because you’ve mentioned traveling in the above two posts even though I don’t get the relevance of traveling and being career-oriented or not.
