Woman, men and communal kitchen!

Woman, men and communal kitchen!

I read a very interesting passage yesterday. It was all about woman. I had never read a feminist passage before and it was quiet interesting. It spoke about a term called communal kitchen “which meant to save up on resources by cooking and eating together. By this we save up on vegetables, utensils all kind of material. The author went to exaggatered to an extent saying “if people went to sleep at different times people could even share their nighties.” For person like me who is in center with political views finds this above statement hilarious. But if we really think into the matter it does make sense. Especially in the country like india where we running lack of food resources, a place where “rich are getting richer and poorer are getting poorer” This one just one concept “communal kitchens” it spoke on many other topics of differences among men and women. A simple idea of men getting a job and women staying at home. (esp in Indian context) How proud men are when they say I am the working member of the family! But does one realize how selfish is that in the sense, men get to go out and do job “of their own interest” and women has to stay at home and look after the kids and house. The only freedom that we women is not following the rules. As in men cannot dominate over the office as women can dominate the house and kids. She can reaarange the furniture she wants and prepare the soup as she likes!..it is always said woman if she gives up the daily chores she will be focus on higher culture. Whereas men if they want to arrange stone bricks or paste a postal stamp they have to do it in certain way. They cannot arrange the stamps in which colour they like but women can arrange her flower pot in the way she wants. But as women is women she will begin to worry about it also as she worries about her husband and children all the time. If men and women stop dominating each other and help each other out in all sorts of life. life will be much easier place to live in!
