This is one full Load of BS. All these are based on western women. Not Indian women. 
Even today , exception of the big cities most live in Joint families.. City  based feminst  women chase away everybody  and want to live alone, 

The life of these feminist  women do not represent the whole country. Most  educated people extrapolate the western lifestyle into our lifestyle.  It is not a equal comparison. Eg-  In most western places, one needs a car to go to the nearest  shop (more so in the US). but not the case in India. you have a grocery shop at  every street.  on house hold task,  financially  moderately  stable families hire a maid, have washing machines.

So lets cut this BS of extrapolating the western life style issues into India.  Just  because we wear western clothes and send emails at  work, doesnt  make us westerners.

- Mothers often shoulder the burden of both physical and cognitive household tasks.
- Cognitive labor includes anticipating needs, planning, organizing, and delegating tasks.
- Research shows mothers handle 73% of cognitive labor and 64% of physical labor in households.
- This imbalance leads to higher levels of depression, stress, and burnout among mothers.
- Unequal division of household labor contributes to global gender inequity and affects women's health.

This question is for folks who have married early or have friends who have gotten married in their early 20s. What are your thoughts on this front?

Is it just me or is even a job at the best Tech companies just don’t make any sense for women? 

There are always women who have great family support or husbands that are understanding and encouraging. But generally why does it seem like becoming a senior woman in tech even at the best places is sort of unattractive and significantly increases your odds of “failure” outside of work e.g. divorce,having kids late? 

Interested for thoughts from both men and women.

This might be controversial but i want to know just why so many benefits for women in tech ? , I saw special hackathons only for women and also special trainings from big companies like Amazon only for women and of course diversity hiring.  Is it because men can't work enough and women do more or what ?

Why special place for women in tech ?

As a woman in corporate,  what are the challenges you face that may not be faced by men?

Hello,
In today's world most of the married couples are working. How do you guys manage your non-work life together like kids, food, grocery, shopping, house chores? 
As most of us come from a background where our mothers are housewives and she used to manage the household chores like cooking, house management, kids and other indoor stuff and our fathers used to go out and earn money, and manage outdoor stuff. Now, this paradigm has been changed and I fully accept this maturely but I want to fit in this new model. Can anyone tell me how they are managing it positively?
Thanks for your time and only serious answers please.

I grew up with a stay at home mom but I have plenty of friends who grew up with “power couple” parents. If anything, the kids with working moms were better prepared for school and were more... polished? And I know plenty of fuck ups whose retarded moms stayed at home and/or whose parents ended up in nasty ass divorces with their “helpless” moms cleaning out their dads.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with nannies and having help. You grow to love them in a different way and they give you another perspective as you grow. It’s not like kids with nannies automatically assume that their parents don’t love them, and it’s rare for both parents to be completely absent all the time unless they never wanted kids in the first place. I feel like the argument against nannies and career women is usually made from bitter people who can’t afford them

I won’t settle for someone who doesn’t have a career. Not a job, a career. Maybe she’ll make the decision to stay at home for a few years but I don’t want to bankroll the seamless and reality show watching habits of an intellectually lazy partner for the rest of my life. I’ve seen firsthand the type of woman who doesn’t want to be challenged, what happens to the men who marry them, and how their kids turn out. Fuck that noise. This isn’t the 1980s

And if you think you can maintain your lifestyle in Bangalore/Mumbai once you have kids on a single income, think again, especially when your friends have paired off with those dreaded career girls.

I've had the fortune of having worked in 3 countries so far. India is by far the most exciting place to be in 2024.
But there's something about our work ethic that just concerns me. In both white and blue collar.

In most other countries, I've observed people strictly sticking to the 9 to 5, working diligently in those hours - not wasting too much time on chai sutta breaks, instagram browsing, gupshup etc.

They work for 8 hours, then leave. And think about work directly the next day.

In India, most of us spend more hours - but very obviously very few of those hours are productive. In fact, I lately feel that too many people around me are doing even 2-3 hours of work on a good day.

We end up just staying around, passing time, and then go back home. When we could have achieved so much more.

Work ethic has fallen. Work hours have gone up.

We need to be more mindful of our actions, we need to work well at work, and then do well at home.

I think it's a function of being over populated. There are 1.5-2 people doing what 1 person should be doing, hence this effect.

Needs to be fixed, it's the sign of a major problem in the workforce. Thoughts?

Does gender wage gap exist in the corporate tech world? Or is it purely performance based?

What about biases in appraisals, promotions, who gets a chance to lead and all?

Looking for personal insights and experiences.

I have seen pseudo feminism happening everywhere around which has just wasted everyone’s time and energy over debating for false narratives. Does feminism really matter or it brought any change in corporate lives. If yes then why still pay parity exist and why projects have been given on the basis of gender but not on the basis of skill and experience? What’s your take on this ?

Has feminism ever been useful ?

Men, becoming fathers for first time, also go through rollercoaster of emotions. Cannot imagine the burden of overthinking - new responsibilities, ensuring mother n child are well, regular household chores plus work (where they don't get enough leaves)

Read a great post on LinkedIn talking about that, and how men shy away from taking parental leaves

Parental leaves are only for women!        

I was reading an HBR article on parental leave and how men are reluctant to take these leaves despite professing…

🤣 Equating Women to Household items and calling it empowerment

A Man has lot more responsibilities than women. Family, career, love. 

Why do Men mental health being so ignored. We don't share like women do but we are going through a lot. We are not expressive by nature. 

Our society shows so much love, respect to women why not same for MEN? Why aren't they treated equal?

What do you guys feel?

Why do our society don't value MEN MENTAL HEALTH?

I am a 26/M/60+LPA/IITian Software Engineer at a FAANG. I have spent most of my time travelling places with my friends/solo and have dedicated a significant portion of my small life to my career, and I am quite happy with it. I am confused about one thing tho, should I get married? given I am happy living like this, I just want to hear what men have to say on this, I want to know given a chance would you guys get married? If yes how to check if a woman is a fine fit for you? I made a rule to only date a woman who makes at least 70% of my salary OR has an excellent academic background AND should be humble. With these set of rules the chances of finding a girl is almost slim to none given ratio at good colleges and at high paying tech jobs are like that 🤧, I am sure people won't find these rules good, but I want to know if I am being stupid pls correct me it will help me reshape my thinking.

Help me guys 🫡.
