Why Is A Working Man ‘Hardworking’ But A Working Woman ‘Selfish’?

So I recently saw Made in Heaven (both the seasons) on Prime Video and I am really happy to witness the topics that are being touched upon with respect to society and women specially. Though it’s just a drama, it truly depicts the sick mentality of Indian society.

One of the topics that I related the most is, “Working women don’t care about family, they are very selfish”. I am really glad about this issue. was taken up. There have always been a lot of talks with respect to working women. Today I want to confess that a working woman equally loves and cares for a family like a housewife.

We all, especially me, understand the value of my family but I also understand the importance of being independent. I also heard so many times that women who earn more have more arrogance but I guess it is all about mindset. For example, my husband and I recently met one of the famous food bloggers, Priyanka Sharma (@sadigaddi on Instagram) owing to winning a giveaway and trust me she was as humble as a normal person. She has almost 2 lakh plus subscribers and it was not evident in her conversations. On the contrary I have come across people who have nothing except arrogance.

Why is a working woman always judged? Why is a working man always considered hardworking and a working woman is considered selfish? God made both male and female capable of fulfilling their dreams and then why society creates a difference. If a man earns for his family, a woman also earns for her family. She cares for her family, her children and does everything for them only.

I mentioned in one of my earlier blogs also that a woman not only works for money but for her dreams and passion also. For instance, I love working as it keeps both my mind and body active.

Honestly, I believe the struggle of a woman is for a lifetime in some or the other way. It doesn’t matter how many movies, series, documentaries and dramas are released, the core thinking of Indian society with respect to women can never be changed.
