"There's a clear cut division of labor in our society that had been cleverly made. The woman works at home fulfills the household duties while the man works outside and bring money home. That's how it works the best. The women who has jobs are always unhappy and stressed because they have to do both the work at home and outside......Education is compulsory for all, the men and women but jobs are not." My father had told me once and I had cried for hours that night. That doesn't mean though, that they didn't care about me at all. They cared enough to tell me to stop wearing sleeveless blouses when I was barely eleven years old. Said no to tight t-shirts and jeans by the time I was thirteen and I wasn't a thankless bitch. So, I thanked my stars and God daily for his little mercy that my parents aren't muslims or by now I would have been in an unmarked shuttle-cock burka somewhere.
