When I used to tell my husband about how he has to be serious in minding the household works, it always pushes for a talk. Finally, I used to end up in saying the way it maintained in my house or his house can't be a way of our house. Then he would retort" why can't we follow; didn't you get fish fry at your house same as your brother got ". Bringing about 'fish fry' in the middle to invoke the sentiments shared by an actor about her experience of gender inequality she faced at her home was the way he brought sarcasm into the matter to shoo me away. But that story was the real-life experience of many women of my age at their homes. That kind of gender inequality persisted and even persists in these times too. Now, with two girl kids I'm yet to see how me and our girls are going to teach my husband the lessons of gender equality which he missed from his growing time.
