First of all, I was describing the situation and not expressing my opinion.

Bottom line. What is the issue? is it equality or happiness and accord?

If we are seeking equality for te sake of equality, then there is no point in discussing it and I feel this is very theoretical and idealistic.

Marriage is a contract that should be the basis of a successful relation - hopefully - and clear understanding of various roles and responsibilities. The man is the King in some areas, the woman is the Queen in the other areas. They distribute responsibilities and exchange opinions and sometimes they exchange roles. At some instances, a compromise cannot be achieved. Hence, a decision should be taken by whoever is capable to take the decision.

Misunderstanding the meaning of equality and sticking to it, is leaading to a higher rate of divorces/seperations. Less happiness. More insecurity and pressure on the female.

In my opinion. The wrong understanding and implementation of equality is resulting in more "mannish" females and more "femininish" males.
