Related termsCategory: English nounsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Housewife is a term used to describe a married female who is not employed outside of the home. Multicultural normsIn agriculture studies, the word "housewife" is occasionally used referring to the person who does the majority of the chores within a farm's compound, as opposed to field and livestock work. IndiaBeing a diverse country, India has different approaches in different demographic groups. In a Hindu family, the head of the family is the Griha Swami and his wife is the Griha Swamini. The Sanskrit words Grihast and Grihasta perhaps comes closest to describing the entire gamut of activities and roles undertaken by the householder or housewife. Grih is the Sanskrit root for House or Home; Grihasta and Grihast are derivatives of this root, as is Grihastya. The couple lives in the state called Grihastashram or family system and together they nurture the family and help its members (both young and old) through the travails of life. They are a housewife team. The woman who increments the family tree and protects the procreated wealth of the family is described as the Grihalakshmi (the wealth of the house) and Grihashoba (the glory of the house). The elders of the family are known as Grihshreshta. The husband or wife may engage in countless other activities which may be social, religious, political or economic in nature for the ultimate welfare of the family and society. However, their unified status as a householder or housewife is the nucleus from within which they operate in society. This 'status', as housewives, anchors them in society and provides meaning to their activities within the social, religious, political and economic framework of their world. In Muslim families, use of the term housewife (or its equivalent) is uncommon, even though housewives are very common and stay-at-home husbands are extremely rare. Muslim society sets different expectations from the husband and wife, but respects their individuality. Families are generally viewed as sets and not units. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Poll: Would you say that women should primarily be responsible for homemaking and raising children...? Q. while men are responsible for protecting and providing for their family? I don't want this to influence your answers here, but all this 50/50 equality for male and female really weird me out. I mean, men are meant to do masculine things while women were meant to do feminine things. That is how I see it. Asked by Sandstorm222 - Sun Aug 5 03:14:15 2007 - - 28 Answers - 0 Comments A. Fine, you can see it that way, but that doesn't mean we can't be 50/50 equals. Females can still be 'feminine', males can still be 'masculine'. But there are lines as to what is 'masculine' and what is 'feminine'. THAT is what many people have problems with. Such as you limiting females, and what we can and cannot do. What we should or should not do. What we wear, how we speak, how we WALK even. And where we can go. Even on a elevator it's wrong to you to see a female there. Especially if she doesn't have a 'male guardian'. I mean, think about that one question you asked, about what color of gum would be appropriate for a female to chew. THAT, was taking it too far, and in many aspect you continue that but you just don't see it as that way.
