I guess this question comes as a side twist to the original (and interesting) discussion A Social Trend Among Single Nepali Men Living in the West. I didn't want to add this question there since the originator's intention was different.
Wanted to know people's opinion: I grew up seeing the male dominated families that many of us grew up in. I'm wondering how much you all think the situation is changing now. Do couples sit down and discuss things? I know the kitchen is still seen as the woman's domain. It will probably be a little while before we see a lot of that change in Nepali culture. But what about other things, for starters like the couple sitting to discuss plans for the future. Of course the woman would require some intellectual capacity. But with woman educating shoulder to shoulder with men I'm wondering how much the practical situation in matrimony has changed. Are women still being asked to swallow their pride and quell their capacities to think and be for the sake of tradition?
And obviously I'm asking this question about the upper middle class families that probably a lot of us come from and not the whole country.
