RE: When known becomes unknown! চেনা হয়েও যায় না চেনা!
That's how it was in my family. My grandfather didn't want his daughters to be dependent on anyone. The man was born in the late 1800s! His daughters went to university, but his sisters had also studied and... had their own homes, their own salaries and their own bank accounts.
Women's rights certainly did not exist, although my mother was certainly freer than my children will ever be. Another normal practice in our family is to have a will in which only one's own children inherit and, upon their death, never the partner. It takes a strong man to be able to tolerate or actually find it normal that his wife works, may even earn more than him and has her own property without him feeling threatened by it. Incidentally, there are plenty of men who do not do this and are happy to be supported.

Most men in today’s society still believe their main role is to earn money, while women are expected to cook and take care of the children. This perspective persists today.
Some men support women working, as long as they can balance their professional and personal lives.
My aunt, who works in the police service, was encouraged by my grandfather to pursue her career when he brought her home as his son's wife. A funny story she often shares is that when my grandfather visited her, she was riding a tree!
Although humorous, my aunt’s potential was recognised by my grandfather. She has a son serving in the military and a daughter involved in a small business.
I often see my father and his older brother cooking happily without any sense of gender difference in our family. Maybe that's why I find it hard to accept men with conservative views.
It might be my perspective, but I believe everyone deserves equal respect and opportunities.
I love learning about your grandfather—big respect to those who understand the true meaning of respect and equality!💞
