Do u think that there has been a shift in the mindset of Indian women  being independant and living single?

Certainly... women are more aware of the freedom that they can get and they are not ready to compromise for anything now.. thus they are independant and dont think that in order to get accepted in the society,you need to get married..

My husband is from india and his friend's wife came over about a year ago. She doesn't like it bc she has to work here and she didn't there. I suppose it would be hard to start to work if your not used to it and then you suddenly have to do household chores like cooking that you didn't have to do in India. I think it would hard.

some of them do think like that...i guess married men got more experience on how to handle women emotion.they are more caring too...

think it depends. single men both with and without gfs seem to desire it. married men are less demanding. they are occupied with other priorities like job, etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by development. You didn't say in what field. If you mean women's emancipation from the home to the work force, there are a lot of things to be considered. Women are now attending colleges and universities in ever increasing numbers. They have invaded every profession with great success, from sports to medicine to archeology and engineering. In the field of politics women are beginning to have a voice to be reckoned with, as they always did, only they are no longer standing behind a man, but rather leading the way. I could go on and on here but without a peg to hang my hat on, so to speak, I'll stop right here. Hope this helps you in some way.

It has generally been thought (in the past) that males have been the dominant of the species.\n\nHowever, now women and men are considered to be equals, and neither one is dominant.

Gosh...never ever...ever!\nI don't think added responsibilities would change it...since it's done most often to help (someone...not me, of course) fall asleep. :P\nNot being single would change the frequency.

Yes, every last one of them.  It's totally genetic; it's been surmised that it has something to do with their native flora.\n\nUnfortunately, this is why their population is so sparse.  The guys are always whining about having to "service" the women.  Things are getting better, though.  Someone came up with the idea of dressing the women in men's clothing, and doing other things I won't discuss to make them appear more masculine.\n\nAs a result, there was a baby boom which started about two years ago.

Yes there are. I am one of them. It's not like it was when we were younger, to where you can go to clubs and so on. The best way for me to meet other women are through friends and family.

they are semi-arranged, but not really. i mean its just like america, you can marry whoever you want unless your parents are completely gainst it, then theres a fight, etc.\n\nalso, women are treated very well, just like america\n\nindia's not a bad place like you may think

I think you are on the money with over-compensation.  \nIt's kind of like a teenager that grew up with overly strict parents then goes to college and parties constantly.  It used to be "I can be successful and own my sexuality." But "Owning one's sexuality" has turned so far around that some (mostly young) women don't really own it anymore.\nThe Feminist movement has not taken a step backwards, we're still here going strong and making steps everyday, it's just a little sidetracked at this time.

I don't see why they would. Some guys still have issues about being the breadwinner but a modern woman with her own home wouldn't want one of them anyway. I think that to most guys it will be a positive. It's a sign of stability and maturity. To the rest is will be a non-issue for a while at least.

I think women have made some real advances in pay, leadership, clout and respect.  But I also think that true parity is still some distance away.\n\nIt will ultimately take enough generations to pass, and the old-fashioned notions in people to pass with them, until women can get a truly-perceived equality.

The 20-somethings have abandoned classical feminism in droves.  They've seen what its done to their mothers - alone, unloved, unsupported, chronically depressed - and bailed.  Young girls today have largely abandoned the need to "prove" themselves as women, saying that they already are, by mere existance.\n\nPerhaps it was a mistake for the patriarchy to grant independence.  "Beware what you wish for, it might come true".  Perhaps it was a mistake for the patriarchy to abdicate from its responsibility.  \n\nDid I say grant?  Yes, you heard right.  Independence was not achieved by suffragettes, it wa achieved by technology. \n  Male-spawned technology produced fax machines and typewriters that enabled women to work and be independent.  It took the brawn factor out of labor enabling all genders to earn a wage.  Taking away technology would put us back 100 years ... in every sense.\n\nHow fragile life is, huh?

Well, indian cultures does'nt encourage much on  having a girl-friend. Well we do have but not like those of western.\nOur pre-marriage activities/ seeking activity differs a lot from western, almost 90% of marriages are arranged one. Orthodox hindu family puts a restiction on these activities(western/european approach to marriage). Already a lot  western culture has penetrated in our environment to change the traditional approach. But i think ,however it's up to batman to answers your question as it depends on how he takes this.

Amen sister. Very well put. \n\nI think the morals and values of this country have completely gone out the window, and I think feminism is the key problem. Who is raising our children?? Public school systems, tv, strangers (babysitters). It's sad. These kids have no sense of family value.\n\nWhat many feminists don't understand is that woman as matriarch over her family is entirly more powerful than a woman with a "career".
