Gender Equality...?

So I was waiting eagerly to watch the movie "Ki and Ka" and last night, I finally did. Besides the fact that Kareena KK and Arjun Kapoor are looking absolutely hot together, what I really liked about the movie was the ease with which they introduced this new concept. Okay, I have to admit the mangal sutra scene and logic was absurd along with a few other things, like a dialogue "ye mera husband nahi, wife banna chahta hai." (He doesn't want to be my husband, he wants to be my wife). Other than a few loop holes, I think the movie was pretty refreshing. However, the concept is not that new, I guess; it has just been presented in a new fashion, a hotter fashion. India has had the concept of a "ghar jamai" since ages, and although majority of the population disapproves it, there are people who have absolutely no problem with it and actually adopt the concept themselves. Point is, okay if a guy doesn't want to work in the professional world, and prefers to work from home, that's alright. That's not the issue, though. The issue here is the whole concept of "husband roles" and "wife roles". I appreciate the way Arjun Kapoor's character explains how is he is still the man in the relationship even if he doesn't get up and leave home for work everyday. That's what needs to be understood. The stereotype of roles based on gender need to be changed. No one is asking all the men to sit at home and cook while women go out and work. That's not the point. Point is, why don't you let us work just as passionately and aggressively as we want to. It's okay if we don't and it's also okay if we do. Same goes for you. Man or woman is not the factor, all that matters is what you want from life as an individual. It's all easy in movies, but I'm quite sure that if I bring home a man who wishes to sit at home while I work, my family will not approve of it. "He's not your level" would be an appropriate reasoning, and maybe there is some percentage of truth in their perception as well. However, in a relationship shared by 2 people, if they can set their own relationship rules, and be happy with it, why should anyone else have anything to say about it? If both decide to work, and take care of the house together, why not? If either one (man or woman) doesn't want to work, why not? We can't take any guarantee for anybody's happiness except our own. SO what we want out of our lives, is the only thing we can be sure about. Finding someone who understands and shares the same desire is a blessing, not shame. "What does your husband do?" Will always be a more commonly asked question than "what does your wife do?" The problem lies there, and women aren't really helping themselves either. On one hand, they want equality, on the other hand, they won't leave their ladies seat for an elderly man. They will fight for huge amounts of alimony in spite of being capable enough to make a decent living for themselves and their children. They will fight for all rights, but will never hold a door open for a man or a seat, perhaps. Somewhere down the line, there are too many opinions on the whole equality thing and things are getting out of hand and imbalanced. The movie also illustrated how in spite of being vise President of a leading company, it is still difficult to carry out all luxuries of life if both people in a relationship aren't earning. That's quite true in today's robotic era. Hence the focus here should not be to find a house-husband to wear the "mangal sutra" but a supportive one, supportive enough to allow room for both to flourish in their own ways, as much as they so desire. Allowing your wife to earn more than you, won't make you any less of a man, and making your husband wear the mangal sutra won't make you a more powerful woman!! Anyway, marriage or no marriage, children or no children, work or home they are all my choice. Not because I'm a woman promoting woman empowerment, but because I am an individual born with that right. Every individual, irrespective of gender has that right. That is the only point. Ladies, if you are fighting for equality, why do you always want an edge, an advantage over your gender?

A film so unique that it’ll shatter stereotypes and make you realize that “women love Scotch too” and “seeing a man cry is a gift to a woman” and dispel other assumptions like, “there are no populace-free public spots in India to make out!”...
