The term belongs to them and not to us the proud Indians who still honor working, educated and independent women at work places.
India has highest numbers of women as Drs as pilots and women are visible working with men in banks and government offices and these educated women have educated children too because of their liberated thought process of education which keeps minds open to receive signals of changing times and grow up along with changing times.
We can outsource household chores and luckily faithful helpers are still available, besides our elders who can keep a watch over the households of working women without tiring their bones unlike them who have generated term 'tradwife'
If we in India want our GDP to grow, then half of population as girls and women can't be ignored by not contributing to it.
Besides a working woman is generating jobs for others as helpers
Housewives can be liberated too if they wish to but most of them can be busy with time pass activities like all dressed up but nowhere to go!
Maximum orders for ready made foods aren't through working women but through 'tradwives' despite innumerable gadgets to make it easier in the kitchen.
