Quite the contrary.
Pakistani women have always been a force to reckon with. They have dominated the music industry, film industry, political circles and the corporate arena. They have ventured into predominantly male professions like the Armed forces and are more recently, also signing up for odd jobs like Rickshaw driving!
Those who are privileged enough to be studying in good schools and universities are ambitious and are curious about what the future holds besides two sets of children and a husband.
The status of women in Pakistan is not just that of a subservient wife/sister or mother. Each and every woman in Pakistan has an identity of her own. Whether she spends her afternoon proposing a marketing plan or buying the latest lawn outfit.
Pakistani women are colourful, loud, cheery, well-groomed, bossy and even a little obnoxious at times.
They have learnt to stand up for each other. They have self-taught each other the art of defending themselves and the people they call their own.
Pakistani women are super moms, battling nagging relatives and handling bratty children at pretty much the same time.
Pakistani women are smart and they are sporty.
They are independent and self-reliant and can do PhD's, laundry's and diaper changing.
In short, they pretty much rock.
Stereotype - Pakistani women are subservient to men. Status = BUSTED!
PS: Make your own sandwich. :P
