Agreed. Empowering women empowers men also, and relieves them of some of their traditional responsibilities and stresses that came with it. More power to liberation of women (& men)!
And while everyone is championing the “women standing up” factor, please note that a lot more women are now standing up just for the sake of standing up under misguided notions (because may be they heard something on the media about women empowerment), and end up destroying homes totally unnecessarily. I have seen numerous such examples in Pakistan and seriously that is no cause to celebrate.
