How far financial freedom set a woman free?

It is not a feminist article, but some questions from a free mind.

What is the financial freedom of a woman?

Financial freedom for a woman is her emotion. It is that space where she finally feels stable to decide without asking her parents or partner for money.

I am not saying that asking your parents or partner is wrong or it makes you less respectful. But at some point, a woman or a girl feels the urge to be free.

Money, which cannot buy happiness sometimes, buys respect for a woman who feels worthless. Or at least she assumes so.

Or sometimes who are forced to believe insignificant or worthless or useless.

Now on this note, here comes my next question.

Do financial freedom sets a woman free?

I have seen financially successful women been tortured in many ways or set on fire for little or no reason. Then where the money has set them free or secure?

If we are monetary stable also, then also our identity in most cases is someone’s daughter or someone’s wife or someone’s mother, why?

Why, we cannot be just we the way we are?

Why is money not setting us free to do what we want or go where we want, without thinking twice?

Why, a few things are ok, if a guy is doing and the same action is wrong if done by a girl? And the woman gets judged in all possible ways for the same thing.

Why we are judges if we want to excel in our career after marriage? Why there will be one aunty saying she wants her husband to feel low, or her husband must not be earning enough?

Why we a girl is asked, what is your marriage plan while facing an interview? Why do not guys have to face this question?

Why, money is not playing its part the way it should, or at least the women assume it will do?

With all the uncertainty, here comes my other question.

Why we still teach our girls to be in boundaries and not our boys to respect the boundaries? Even when women are financially independent?

Why betraying a partner is wrong for a woman and not for a man? I am not saying cheating on a partner is right. But why it is wrong if a woman does it, and is ok if a guy does the same thing?

For the society or even for our families.

Because we have been taught honesty and family is women’s responsibility, our mothers have done that, and we have to do that.

Why our mothers do not teach their girls that they are equal? Why, we as girls are forced to feel guilty for every small thing? Because our mothers do not motivate us to think for our happiness or our respect or our consent, without being guilty.

Because we have been conditioned that a marriage and a family is a girl’s responsibility. A woman is working or not, any misbalance in the family is her fault, because men are doing their job by earning money.

Why a successful woman always has to hear she is a girl, and that’s the reason she got a promotion so easily? And a man deserves a promotion because he works so hard.

Why we have to hear that her family, husband, and in-laws must be so supportive when a girl or a woman achieves something? Why does not a guy?

Why we have to hear that we got a progressive husband, who is allowing us to work after marriage? Why do we need their permission?

Why this level of disparity exists in our society?

With this discrimination in society, here comes my next question.

Is money guarantees respect, safety, and security to a woman’s life and her work?

If they can’t save themself from getting raped or tortured or murdered for dowry, how financial freedom is helping the women?

Why we have to listen and swallow the humiliation when they say your job is to run the house and not your brain so, do that. Because we have been feeding this since our childhood by our mothers. Our mothers think this is the only right way to have a happy family because they have done that.

Why do we have to hear, what do you do the whole day at home? You do nothing at home, and we work so hard to earn money?

Because our families have conditioned us like this. Our

mothers and grandmothers have never spoken up for this disrespect and injustice. Hence, all the men of the family and the society believed they are right.

After writing so much, now I feel this topic is endless, so as our suppression. And there is no end to this discussion or complaining.

I feel the society is changing so our families, but the change and development are slow.

I hope my next generation does not have to go through all this and they get what they deserve, equality and respect.
