Aampillainga mattum education-a vachu samooga sevaiya pannuraanga ? why restrict only women ?

If a women wanted to be self reliant just like man ,what is wrong ?

Is women education qualification is just for man to show that his wife has got Mba ,MCA etc ?

Any work on health will tell you how much important out-door activity is. Unless someone has a village like house with a garden etc (becoming rarity nowadays), how is the house-wife going to get that fresh breath of air?

Once again, I'm not talking about only office job / career for women, but activity outside home is a must to be healthy. வீட்டுக்குள் பூட்டி வைக்காதீர்கள்

Who said women are under lock & key???

There is something called 'figurative' language Anyways, let me explain what it means -

'pootti vaiththal' can easily be done by statements like below:

-women, be at home in your little kingdom as outside home is man's kingdom
-women, be happy about child-rearing at home and kitchen activites. May be read, surf, watch TV etc but never worry about any activity outside - not even charitable work
-women, working and earning money is not for you. It's only for men to be engaged in

All the above are figurative lock & key stuff. To work or not work depends upon one's situation and INDIVIDUAL CHOICE. I may not know the best situation for "Mrs Lakshmi" or "Miss Meena" as much as they do (Disclaimer - names are just generic examples, does not refer to any individual)

Time to go to bed!!!

One of my childhood friends was the eldest of 6 and his dad worked with my dad, but was an alcoholic. Apart from not giving a paisa to home, he'll hit wife, throw vessels around, shout and abuse children. The mom, though wanted to remedy the situation, had only primary education. So what did she finally do? Worked in the local school kitchen and brought up all the children. Can we tell her to sit home, after all 'uththiyOgam is purusha lakshanam'? Then we won't have 6 mature adults in the society today (and my friend later took care of his dad's addiction after he grew up and employed, by treating him in a clinic), but possibly criminals.

So, the decision to work or not has to be on a case-by-case basis. There cannot be a blanket statement.
