You must be a westerner. This is a very common westerner comment its very textbook, so textbook that Asian mindsets are tired responding to it. Please try to understand the mindset in Asia first. For example, do women in Japan really want career more vs becoming a house wife? You will be surprised at the answer.
As someone raised by non westerners, every single woman cousin of mine chose to become financially independent. And why would they not? Who wants to live under the thumb of someone else?
Ignore my anecdote. The proof is the simple fact that wherever women are allowed to financial independence, they choose to take if.
I have had this conversation come up many times before and the people always say that their daughter in law is their daughter and everything that is theirs is hers. So then I tell them, well, they should have no problem signing over their assets to her, and they clam up pretty quickly.
But why can there only be one answer? Could it not be some women would like to be a house wife and some would like a career? If so, its not good that society makes one of these options very hard.
