I would like to mention a conversation I had with my friend few days back. She told me about a baby shower held in one of her cousin’s house. The woman’s in-laws gave her blue-colored baby clothes and every woman wished for a healthy baby boy. She noticed that and she said that her blood boiled and was in foul mood when she reached home back. We claim that we have come a long way from our patriarchal society and speak volumes about equality.
Do we actually believe in all that stuff, like seriously?? Why, why and why boy are preferred?? Why do we forget that men are the ones who drop their parents in some old age home and never turn back and some don’t even bother about that? Why do we forget that men rape wome, they beat their wives and violate their self respect? Why do we forget, most of the dacoits, robbers are men? Why do we forget that men kill their parents for a piece of land? Why do we forget that men are responsible for a woman’s misery? If men make their women folk secure then they are the ones who make them feel insecure. Always women are asked to compromise, they are asked to turn a blind eye when their husbands cheat, or disrespect them, they are asked to stay in an abusive relationship for the sake of their kids. Why should only a woman compromise? Why should ONLY a woman make adjustments?
Is there no responsibility of a father towards his wife and kids? Why a woman called slut and prostitute when she has multiple boyfriends or when she loses her virginity before the marriage and man is let off when he sleeps with a different woman every single night?? Why a woman is called character less when she drinks or smokes but if the man does the same, then it’s alright?? When a woman uses expletives, it is shameful but when the man does the same, it is the sign of manhood?? Why should women become the scapegoats for every CRIME OF MAN???
According to Bible, eve- the first woman was created from the bone of rib of adam- the first man. So mind you, she was not created from foot so that man can trample on her, but she was created from a bone close to the heart so that man can always hold her close to his heart.One should always remember that.
Behind every successful man, there is a woman.
