The fairer sex may have all but abandoned the struggle for
equality, for a new survey suggests that most men want a traditional wife and
women are often only too happy to oblige. A British research from the Yorkshire
Building Society showed that many females are making conventional choices by
eschewing the sexual revolution plank of feminism in favour of more traditional
values. Infact, the poll among more than 1,500 adults resembled a manual to
happy married life from the 1950s. The survey suggested that most women desire
a "retrosexual" man, who are more hunter gatherer than a
"metrosexual" stay-at-home father. It found that women are increasingly
reluctant to opt for a career because they feel "looking after their
family or home" was more important. On attributes 'most valued' in a
spouse or partner, men put 'taking care of the home', on top of the list
followed by cooking, cleaning and great parenting. The research found many
women making equally conventional choices. Nearly 40 per cent said
"financial stability" is one of the most important qualities in their
husband. "A lot of women used to think they wanted a metrosexual man. But
then they realised they were fed up with a man who spent longer in the bathroom
than they did," Tanya Jackson, corporate affairs manager at the building
society, was quoted as saying by the Mail online today. "Many women now
feel they actually want a hunter-gatherer and they will look after their man in
return," Jackson stressed.
Congress leader Manishankar Aiyar attracted opposition BJP's ire today in Rajya Sabha when he said he was not interested in listening to speech of a BJP member on vote on account, prompting the Chair to adjourn the House amid uproar. During the Zero Hour, Deputy Chairman P J Kurien allowed Aiyar, who wanted to ask a question, to do so, which was opposed by BJP members. Kurien asked Aiyar whether he yielded to allow others to speak, to which he said he had no objection and he can ask his question later. As the House got ready to initiate discussion on Vote on Account, Kurien said, "Let us reduce the discussion to two hours from four hours," which was opposed by BJP members including Piyush Goyal who was given a chance to speak on Vote on Account. When it was agreed that discussion will take place as per schedule, Aiyar remarked he was not interested in listening to the speech by BJP member. "You had given me the chance to ask a question
