Yes I fee...@rudraprayag, Usha Menon,KParthasarathi<br /><br />Yes I feel that economic independence will be the factor that plays a good role in couples. <br />i do not know if she has read this , well ask her what her take is.<br /><br />@ rama,<br /> <br />Yes indeed some professions are tarnished. That is ridiculous . And when it comes from educated folks such prejudice sucks, as they say.<br /><br />@ Happy Kitten,<br />You are right. It is hypocrisy and absolute nonsense.<br />Thanks let us hope she has a good choice.<br /><br />@ Insignia,<br />B cannot disagree with you. <br /><br />@ C.N.Ashwini,<br />I wonder why fret when one is educated and achieves economic independence.<br />Marriage seems to be a natural corollary that is the problem.<br /><br />@ Meerasunderajan,<br /><br />The preferences based on working environment or time like you mentioned about a Bank employed women is fine. But the taboos that are associated with prejudiced ideas leads to stereotyping.<br /><br />@ Petty Witter,<br />Let me ask her sometime. <br /><br />anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-9497842400973420212013-04-18T19:20:03.824+05:302013-04-18T19:20:03.824+05:30Stopping by to say hello.

As a per...I guess one cannot escape stereotyping .. As a person from the social development sector people always expected me to be in a Khadi Kurta and a cloth bag! They could not understand how I wore "regular" clothes! But yes when it comes to marriage people like to extend such stereotypes to the extreme. A girl with a bank job is considered to be a someone who is most suited for marriage -she keeps regular hours and has few opportunities for touring and travel and meeting other men outside of the cash counter...!!! I really feel sad about the stereotype about nurses.. particularly as it is Kerala that should have a view like this.Meera Sundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584671517551652378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-43088820065147815742013-04-16T19:30:09.400+05:302013-04-16T19:30:09.400+05:30Interested to know what your daughter makes of thi...Interested to know what your daughter makes of this.<br /><br />Sorry to hear that yet another illness has left you feeling unwell.

Its better to be aware of such stereotypes and take clever decisions. <br />At one time, the parents of girls looking for groom only wanted USA stamped groom. Again a stereotype of a successful engineer migrating to a land of opportunities, happily living thereafter. <br /><br />There is nothing like a virgin or a slutty profession. Its just doing what one likes to, with passion and dedication. Stereotypes w.r.t jobs, people places etc will not go awayInsigniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819054091062923489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-72307121411255039122013-04-14T12:02:14.705+05:302013-04-14T12:02:14.705+05:30Yes.. we all have our prejudices but we can try an...Yes.. we all have our prejudices but we can try and grow out of it. Those who married nurses are laughing all the way to the bank :) they dont care..nor do the nurses..<br /><br />All the best to your daughter. May she find a good partner who treats her equal and recognizes her goodness and vice versa.

It is not that they had will power, it only means that such activities did not interest them.<br />But people like them are rare in their chosen profession, and this fact cannot be denied.<br />But a person who is in normal job too can cultivate such habits, because he or she likes it. Similarly the profession of Air Hostess is looked down upon, they are often referred as glorified maids. People have this mental block, and the sooner they come out from this blockage the better for them.<br /> Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-72178801120756377682013-04-12T14:10:25.583+05:302013-04-12T14:10:25.583+05:30A good education that equips a girl to stand on he...A good education that equips a girl to stand on her own legs and a job that secures her economic empowerment are essential requisites.A discreet enquiry about the potential bride or bridegroom and her/his family helps.However wrong choices may still happen.In incorrigible cases the girl can walk out without being dependent on her husband.KParthasarathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189924874350906456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-40696011202112806632013-04-12T12:44:53.878+05:302013-04-12T12:44:53.878+05:30Very interesting post.
