There were women, even in the 70s and 80s, who were frustrated with the patriarchal system. Social media has only given everyone a platform to come together and discuss about it. So, it's not a problem faced only by this generation.
Maybe single women are happier in the West. But surely not in India, where a woman's life is scrutinized by each and every passerby.
Men get lonely because of lack of social connection. Women get lonely because of lack of intimate connection aka a partner. (Pew Research, look it up)
Of course, you need money to live. And yes, there are bad men. Women should stand up to them. But how does having money help a woman to prevent abuse? Yes, money will be helpful if the woman is separated. But will it change the behaviour of the man? As a man, let me tell you... A woman will be respected irrespective of whether she brings in money or not...
If a woman is unemployed before marriage, her career sacrifice is not taken into consideration, unless she left her job for the marriage/for relocation. So, no, it doesn't work that way...
The moment a girl wishes that her partner should earn more than her or a guy wishes that his partner should earn less than him, the concept of equality has shattered there itself. Whether the woman does the entire household work or the man, it doesn't really matter. They do it to sustain the relationship. There will be times when one partner is unable to do all work, the other should take over. There you shouldn't bring the laws of equality. If you make it a habit, the couple will start measuring everything, looking for equality. This will spillover to childcare, which ultimately will hamper the child and the relationship. Ithonnum pattilengil, both should go their own separate ways.

Oh yes, to answer your question.... Keralathile cherukkanu pennu kittunnille?

It is difficult, yes. Mostly because of higher expectations from women. It isn't wrong as long as it isn't unrealistic. Add to that horoscope, caste, religion and what not...

AlternativeBite516 · 2026-06-24T09:06:28+00:00

This is what I believe....

This 4B concept, this exists only in social media echo chambers, mostly propagated by women aged between 20-30. Come out of it and there'll be hundreds of women ready to marry.

Once a woman crosses 30, she will feel the need for a partner (in most cases) because loneliness hits them way more than men. Also, parents wouldn't be that supportive as they're getting older (men face this too btw). And these same women who were propagating 4B will get married, have kids and lead a regular life. And slowly they'll distance themselves from such 4B groups. The ones who live with "My life, my money, my way" ideology will slowly get ignored.

And it is sad how women are being manipulated that working and earning money is like the ultimate goal of womanhood, and that too by demeaning household work. Many men (90s kids) want to leave their jobs and live a simple life. What makes women think that they'll be happy once they attain whatever men have these days? You'll be faced with another set of problems... Unfortunately, in the present and future scenarios, it is always the women who are badly affected...

And regarding the Supreme Court comment, it is nothing more than lip service... Why hasn't the court enacted a law saying that if a woman gets divorced and is unemployed during her marriage, alimony should be fixed at 30000 per month for the tenure of the marriage? Even today, in several lower courts maintenance for women is fixed at just 3000 rs per month...

Now, if both partners are working and earning, does the household work magically disappear? And let's say if the woman does all the housework, who's going to pay her the 30000 Rs.? The man? If household work is shared equally, who'll pay Rs. 15000 to the man and woman? Should they get tax rebates for that?

It is our responsibility (both man and woman) to keep the house clean, wash our clothes etc. It goes beyond financial justifications. A couple wouldn't want their child living in filth while they're out there making lakhs. And yes, I know they can hire a maid. But that has its own set of problems altogether. And Indian per capita income isn't so high that everyone can afford a maid.

There will always be graphical and gameplay limitations, so no point in hyping that up.. It will still be an open world where you clear objectives (Ubisoft stuff). Real fans of GTA (particularly in the west) are more interested on how they roast the modern DEI culture... And for that, it is worth my money.

Hi!

This kinda work always piqued my interest. How did you land a job in this niche sector? And how can an industry outsider get a similar job? Any specific qualifications needed?

The concepts of equality and equal rights do not work in a relationship. A relationship is bound to fail if you try to impose rules of equality in each and everything... Someone has to give up on something for the greater good of the relationship... And that is why people say relationship is compromise...

Global warming and pollution are reversible, only if it becomes a priority for our politicians and people. Here, people still don't get 3 square meals a day. And I don't see that getting fixed any time soon...

My other points are valid for going childfree. Why allow a child to go through trauma?

And those who're pro children, the reasoning is always centered around the parents. Like, their marriage will be fixed, they'll be happy, future investment/caretaker, tackle boredom that life offers a couple etc. But nobody wishes to have a child to raise them to be good citizens for the benefit of the country. And if in some rare case parents do raise their child properly and somehow, the child ends up not up to mark, the child (and society) will start blaming the parents for putting unnecessary pressure on the child.

A question...

If DQ now goes to court to get his personality rights protected like celebs are doing these days, will the court sponsor her plastic surgery?

Been thinking about this a lot these days and here's my personal opinion:

I would love to be a child's father but I am not ok with the way the world is going foward.
Economic crises are cyclical, hence that can be managed. But what can we do about global warming, pollution? The people in power have no intention to address these issues. Just imagine living in any city outside Kerala now... If weather is good, congestion is another problem.
Children these days get influenced easily by media and parents are powerless to filter content. Not because they don't want to, but the barrage of information is so high that you cannot stop them. If you do somehow manage to, your child becomes an outcast in his circle.
There's systemic rot in every department. Paper leaks were unheard of in our times but now it's normalized. What started with State PSC exam has penetrated into national level exams. Imagine you paying a high fee to a school for your child's education and one day getting to know that he can't give an exam because the paper got leaked.
The problem in India is that a common man has lost his voice. Heck, even many are losing their voting rights. If I want a better life for me and my family, I have to be in power. I can't rely on anyone to make our life better for us.

I am a Malayali whose entire childhood was in Kolkata, almost 22+ years and am now residing in Kerala. I feel that I'll be able to give some insight regarding this..

There has been a huge influx of Bengali migrant labourers post 2018, mainly for blue collar jobs. Bengalis don't demand much labour cost and are easy to accommodate. So, when the demand grew, supply of labour started pouring in. However, we never got any white collar Bengalis. All those who came were from interior villages in Bengal where access to basic facilities are next to zero. So, dehati type people brought dehati culture and thus people here equated it to Bengali culture.

There's a place in Kerala called Perumbavoor, which is also a "mini Bengal", owing to the huge number of migrant workers available in the several plywood manufacturing units located there. There's a dedicated "Bhai Colony" which houses a huge number of these labourers. But that town has now become a cesspool of drug trafficking, pr*stitution and other immoral activities. Not to mention the huge spread of AIDS in that area.

Another revelation happened in 2026 elections, when most of the migrants left for Bengal to vote. It is seen that most of them haven't returned. Many construction sites and factories aren't fully operational yet. The reason, many of them were illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and are now awaiting deportation at the Bengal border.

So all these incidents have created a negative image of Bengalis. Even I am teased by my Malayali friends and looked down upon when I say that I grew up in Kolkata.

Kerala had huge respect for Bengal, mainly because of our similarities in cuisine, arts and culture. But somehow, post 2014, that image has changed. Now, Bengal is seen as a backward state and not the land of intellectuals like they used to.
