One can see a changing trend in the way womens role is defined and shown in ads and serials...While, earlier it was the trend to portray women as every tearful, obedient ladies of the house ready to put up with just about everything her husband did , now opposite is the case. They are all fuming and fretting and plotting at the drop of a hat and ordering their husbands or b/fs to do this or that ( Prestige ad with abhishek and aishwariya and so many others) ...Honestly, cant we have a balance? Do we need to do things in extreme?

These kinds of ads are actually shown to show that women are superior to men....but on a practical level we see the role of women has yet to undergo a sea change. Women of every class have no doubt become more independent..but since the difference and change has to be shown probably that is why the balance we are expecting is missing. It will take time to strike a balance and show the same in ads and any other field. Hope we see more balance in the future.

Financial independence does not mean being assertive....There is no purpose served by being dominating and bossy and this is true of both sexes.Unless there is give and take no relationship is going to work, so personally I feel that this kind of a depiction will have a negative impact on the society at least to some extent !

The ads are indeed showing the reflections of the changes in our society. But along with such type of ads that showcase women a bit negatively as being too dominant, yet there are other ads too which portray the woman more confident in her roles as a career woman as well as the home maker. One such ad that I really liked is where the woman is shown as her husband's boss who comes home to prepare a lovely dinner for him and is seen beseeching him to come home early. That is one ad bound to make positive changes, it passes a message that having a woman boss or even having your wife ahead of you in career is quite okay, which even now, is a matter of chagrin to many men.
