Growing number of locals nominate female family members for basic tasks

Locals are being inspired by a city father's mother's decision to represent her ousted and disgraced son by nominating herself as an independent woman … erm … candidate.

The incident seems to have given rise to its own set of strange events that are oddly connected to one another. For example, just recently a mayor nominated his daughter to clean up his counterpart's dirty track record.

The power of an independent woman doesn't seem to be lost on anyone as more and more men continue to take advantage of this phenomenon.

To find out more about the matter, this correspondent spoke to some very tired, independent women about the perils of this freedom.

"I have a very feminist husband and he generally values my independence a lot. But these days, life is so hard owing to the heatwave and traffic, and I am also very tired from breaking the glass ceiling at work every day that I usually just return home and don't have the time to think about what to feed my children. My husband is the same too. So we tasked my mother to take on this task for me. Because these days, feminism means 'ghor o shamlai, kaaj o shamlai'," says Nasima Chowdhury.

"I hate this man's world. My mother was better equipped to handle it because, you know, she had the power of tolerance because she had to learn where a woman's place was. So, I have decided to take my mother to work with me. With her around, no man comes and cracks jokes with me that I have to politely laugh at."

All in all, this correspondent returned inspired to make sure he supported his wife this evening when they went shopping for the things she had foreseen and planned beforehand, and which he tried to convince her that they did not need.
