Let me tell you firsthand what a double standard our parents play in bringing up desi (especially muslim) kids in the west. The men are babied by the mothers with the expectation that when they are married, they too can expect similar service from their wives; while the daughters are brought up like any other all-american girl. My father personally encouraged my sister to pursue her dreams and become an engineer, while my mother spoiled me rotten with all her love and care, cleaning up after me. Now, when it’s time for both me and my sister to get married, we are finding it difficult to find the right matches. I am looking for the so-called utopian subservient girl (like my mother), and my sister is looking for the utopian sensitive muslim man who will respect her career and help with the household chores. It’s a snafu.
