Plight of my female sisters around me

So much has been said and written about women, girls in general who are continuously targeted, tortured, abused, mistreated, disrespected, enslaved, used as a property, are a means of convenience under the false umbrella of social rituals, social obligations, to satisfy the constant male egos and dominance etc etc... and I still strongly believe that it is very less. A thousand lot more needs to be written about females and their struggles on daily basis.

There is not a single day that goes by when I not see or hear from my own circle of acquaintances, friends and family issues faced by females on regular basis.

I am raising few questions: and am hoping that all answer or at least pen down their true responses maybe we shall be able to understand the psyche of men, women, people in general about matters faced by us in general.

1. Should our respect for our elders be taken for granted by our elders?
2. why a bahu is always a bahu and a bahu and a bahu and never a beti, even when she does far more , sacrifices far more than the beti?
3. why the prodigal sons always evade from home turbulence, or in the guise of respect or ignorance do not address issues at home like they do so well in their offices?
4. why do parents don't teach their sons the lessons of equality, respect of women, family values, dowry is illegal, perform general household chores like cleaning the toilet, washing utensils, taking care of their clothes etc.
5. why are they trained with this notion that when young, their maa shall do everything for them, if there is a sister then she , and of course after marriage his wife will perform all his routine daily activities.

I think if we answer these questions a lot can be understood...so i am expecting all my friends, family members, and other acquaintances to kindly send your responses and we shall discuss all in length.
And please NO HARD FEELINGS :)
