The massive insecurity of the average pakistani male

Its quite unfortunate that i need to discuss this at all really. I was sitting with a couple of friends the other day and the topic of working women came up and whether or not we would let our wives or daughters work.
Im a solid believer in womens rights. I feeling like spitting on the face of a man that wouldnt let his woman work because " larki kharab ho jayegi". True, i wouldnt want my wife to turn out like some of the women that i have met in my life, but that doesnt mean that i will banish her to the "chaadar and chaardiwaari" of our home. The fact that our social standards are declining does not mean that working women are the problem, in fact, the onus lies on men more so, because in the current times, we have to increasingly ensure that the females in our sphere of influence have the appropriate value set that can conquer all the weird things that may come their way.
What is even more dissapointing is that we even needed to have this discussion at IBA. If the top college of the country can not transform lives, reconstruct opinions and bring social change then what is the point?
