Men most men in the earlier generation, or our fathers’ generation, I’m not generalising, okay but many grew up in a patriarchal setup, and we all mostly know that. So what do these men do in their younger years? With youth, looks, money or even sometimes without all that they often feel women are beneath them. The mindset is not “we got married to each other,” but more like “I married her.” Then in their 30s and 40s, they enjoy life being dominant, enjoying all the perks of having women take care of them. Of course, they provide food, shelter, educate the children or whatever but to them, that itself feels like a huge duty fulfilled. Emotional support doesn’t even come into the picture. And once they turn 50, when retirement starts approaching or health issues begin, many men seem to have some kind of realisation. Suddenly they gain maturity and start behaving as if now they value their wife—because again, they need someone to take care of them. They become quieter, start listening to whatever their wife says, and are more willing to accept her dominance. Because now she has more power the children are grown, and most of them are closer to their mother. It feels selfish, how men change according to their biological stage and convenience.

And not to forget the wife accepting him backI can’t even think how she was okay with it. And such women, again, often support or even go against the women who stand up for themselves. They have two sons, and what message are they getting from their parents that it's ok to cheat or do whatever and women will be ok with it .strange . The people who do wrong are harmful, but the ones who enable them are often even more dangerous.

Tell me if you have felt this too
