The demise of the traditional women and the new role of the modern women.

The traditional women is slowly going into extinction except in some pockets of this world where it is untouched by civilization.

There are some women who can alternate from the traditional woman to the modern woman whenever they want to win in any disputes with her man. She wants the best of both worlds.

I believed it is difficult to find a traditional woman in the present world anymore. One who would go through all those traditional rites of marriage and follow it's precepts.

With the increasing globalization and the opening of more opportunities for women ,the marriage concept has to be redefined as a partnership of equals as viewed through a woman's eyes. Gone are those days when marriage is about total submission to the man .


It used to be him earning and be the sole bread winner while she takes care of the family.This was the traditional concept of the gender roles in a society. But the wheels are slowly turning on man and there are now ,more women working and in some cases are earning more than the man. More than 40 % of married women in the UK are making more than their husbands.

With the added freedom of woman's rights,the women are beginning to challenge the traditional gender roles and the ideas related to marriage which were decided for them by the patriarchal society .

Men will have to get used to the idea that women are a potent force and are here to stay .They can no longer follow their parents examples who are more traditionalist. They will have to make some readjustments in their life and outlook or to go separate ways.

There should not be any unilateral actions but must involve a consensus between them for a peaceful ,good and lasting marriage.

How would they cope and what are their problems they faced?

The man do not have a choice , their wives are better and more brilliant than them . They will have to give their full support and co-operations to their partners.

As the women become more active , he would have to be passive for if both are very active in their own fields like those Hollywood film stars , there would be tremendous strains on the relationship.

Even if she makes more than him , a man still expects his wife to play the traditional role of a wife , mother and house keeper .It is her domains. This explains why most of the men would rather prefer to marry a beta female than an alpha female.

Perhaps, it is the women who have too high expectations of everything in the marriage. Women have a certain standards about everything that must be done according to their ways and many men may not meet those high standards.

It is a matter of perceptions and women are quite meticulous with small things around the house.Most women generally are not satisfied with the way men do things around them and they will do it themselves.

She becomes the wife , mother and bread winner and still have to do some of the house hold chores even when they have servants .She may have to supervise the servants and cannot depend solely on the man.

She works really hard and earn lots of money but have to be very careful about not offending the male's ego.The man’s fragile ego’s may take a bashing as in some society, it can be a loss of face .It is still a man’s world on the outside.

She cannot proudly boast about her incomes and must still submit to her husband.There will be a war of the sexes and usually whoever earns more will come out the victorious and dominant partner and the other will have to surrender under her terms.

Some men may not speak about it but deep down they are apprehensive that their wives are working in the office and are afraid of those office vultures that may prey on her.

Wives who make more money may not have the time for their man and some of the men may keep mistress or have affairs due to her neglect of him.

There are other men who do not mind their wives earning more than them . They may become househusbands or a consort to her.He will be his bodyguard, driver, secretary and her toy boy. It is his good fortune to find such a woman.
