We often see husbands making their wives do everything for them the only thing they probably might be able to do themselves is breath for themselves. But what is it with various cultures in India and Pakistan that people often drag it along with them after marriage to. What I mean is that they often treat the woman in their life as if she was their servant, making her work do things at home that they too can help with.
I often find it horrible that no matter how much they do they are not appreciated, maybe its how some men are programmed that “no the woman is just to do her job” but who decides what her job is? See the painting on the left by an artist named Nida Aqeel where a woman is holding a glass of water and bowing down to a “male” shirt.
Why do you think the Asian women are seen as the weaker gender by so many men. The problem exists also in non-Asians so nothing new there.
Would love to know from all male and female readers.. take a second and do reply with your views.

personally, I think women are still consider weaker gender in male dominated society in this “jet age”, because of their comprising nature,from their birth to death they compromise:being a daughter,sister ,wife, mother and even as a beloved;this nature allow others specially “the men” to treat them as a servant.The perception behind this nature is that:”A women can make the life and spoil it”,since their childhood this pharse is taught to the women by their mothers and even sometimes by men. And she hold it with her till her death;specially in Asian culture, because there about 50% of women still illiterate,unaware of their rights,who think that they are nothing without a man. And men take advantage of their ignorance.Thats why they are bound to yeild all this harasment. But here one thing I wanna to realise those men who have such thinking that;don’t underestimate others,women have power to give birth to a new life,they are not weak,they are the foundation of your life,which is the cause of strong universe.

if women are considered weak, then they are not given leverage at places. In India, i have never seen boys opening doors for girls; offering them their train seats; there is no concept of “ladies first” for so to say. i am bit confused whether they are considered weak or simply men are bullying them everywhere.

@tarunpreet
well said..women should never be underestimated
@inder
That’s the thing Inder.. it’s the culture thats putting them down, and not the very human nature.. if we all follow our nature I am sure we will respect women more, as they are nothing more than a reflection of our own mothers. also future moms

If you ask me, I will say – its a women’s world !!! most of the asian men are just servants to their wives who really play with them as toys.
A husband is left to work thru whole day just so that her wife can shop and flirt with others… a husband is a mere servant who spends on you, provide you security, provide you car/driver, a cell phone with loads of balance and everything you need but in turn does not even gets the sincere and dedicated love from women, while a women have a lot of people to love her.
my every other friend is just crazy the whole day finding a girl to talk to, and this happens every day but girls on other hand have a lots of choices to select from…again women wins !
better if I was a women, being a man sucks !
