Poorva had heard the phrase many times during her childhood.
Her mother ‘s exasperated tone,” oh God! The milk is all over the stove again.
I should’ve known. Never send a man to do a woman’s job!”
Her granny would nod silently but mutter under her breath,”
If only you did all the chores, my son might never have to visit the kitchen.”
Poorva always pondered about the generation difference and
also the growing shift in the man’s attitude towards a so-called woman’s job.
She prayed that her man would make the crossover to be
successful in the woman’s arena.
