How does a woman feel in a man's occupation? Why should it matter? Ask me. My name is Choti Raikwar. I am 60 years old and perhaps the only woman paan seller in Karwi, Chitrakoot. I have been in this business 40 years but some things have not changed. Most of my customers are male who think it is okay to be rude and bargain excessively with women. I don't hear them telling my male colleagues that their prices could be lower. My circumstances are such that I can't turn away business, however offensive it is to me because I take care of my family.
But it makes me very angry, why is this a man's occupation? Why is it not work that anyone can do irrespective of gender? Why does a woman earn less for the same job, same hours?
