Most times, in every aspect of life, women find themselves in need of validation from menfolk around them. Most often we do it without even thinking.

Mallika Sarabhai’s mantra for women: do what liberates you, don’t wait for approval from men

Not really. I know many, many students, wives, professors, doctors who do not live their lives seeking validation from men. Hard-wired? I don’t think so. But then these women I mentioned have a stronghold professionally which is why they do not need approval or validation from anyone, let alone from men.
I personally feel Indian women are hardwired to seek validation.I guess its also because women are taught to put others before themselves.Things are a bit brighter these days in the urban scenario, but in rural areas women are denied even the right to choose. Being independent is probably the only way out of this
