I was just giving an example of how they probably don't follow those customs. I have a close friend whose parents are Indian immigrants and her mom didn't get an education until she immigrated to the US. When I asked her why my friend told me in her culture it's considered pointless for a woman to be educated if she's just going to be married and have kids. The connection I was trying to make was that if Connie's parents followed that way of thinking then there would have been no point for her mom to pursue a doctoral degree.
