Frailty! Thy name is woman........... Like, really?
Hamlet seriously needs to visit 2017...
Or Shakespeare for that matter. Things have changed in ways that are unimaginable for the Golden Age's maestro.
So, what really has changed?
I really want to write about what has changed; how has it changed; what's the magnitude of this change; and is the change for better or for worse?
But I am blank...
Because When I am thinking about all this, I am not feeling any conviction behind it.
We are still being judged; for how we dress, how we walk, how we talk, how we raise our children, how we behave in public, how we breathe, for crying out loud!
There is no East or West here as far as women are concerned. They are birds of a feather; which feathers are going to be plucked to keep us out of the way of whatever men want to achieve by doing so!
Women are considered stupid, incompetent and senseless by most men. Like, if a woman is driving, being careful of not driving fast; she's a nincompoop! Statistically speaking, the rate of car accidents committed by men is much higher than women; but we are the nincompoops.
I would go on and on about these statistical things, but what's the point? This is not, like the first time this issue is being raised. Women's day and events like these get feminists going, and they can go on like this for eternity.
What I want to contemplate here is; whose fault is this?
This bias and superiority complex that is plaguing the male population all over the world; who'd let that kind of disease foster in their minds for so long that it became part of their demented personalities?
Who is responsible for that?
Men!!??
The answer, unfortunately, is negative.
Respect, Honor, Regards, integrity, and Justice! These are the true basis for a fair mind that gives the rightful place to a woman in his mind, heart, and soul.
Are we raising such a breed at home?
Mothers are the first institution that is responsible for whatever we learn in our most vulnerable age. We women hold the key to their minds and later, to their behavior towards other human beings. What are we teaching them?!
We are teaching them aggression, by letting aggression has its way with us.
We are teaching them by our silence in the face of verbal abuse, that that's the way, to have it your way with this frail object when she objects to your unreasonable behavior.
Let me face towards East; We let our boys know that it's not for him to wash the dishes or lay the table, or make his breakfast himself when his mother's sick; it's his sister's duty. Who taught him that? Boy can go out and do whatever he wants, but a girl can't.
Now, don't get me wrong, for I am no feminist.
My point is, what is wrong for the girl is equally wrong for the boy. But what are we teaching him? He can do whatever he wants and no one will question him.
The list is long and dreary. You can figure out the rest for yourself. Better yet, share them in the comments.
Facing the west, being the champion of human rights and equal rights of women.
I don't see no Female President of the United States? Third world countries can boast at least 4 of them. Why? Are females not strong enough now; or you don't have a political will to give one a chance. Female employers are paid less for the same job; why? That is equality you preach!?
I have a long list of such hypocritical standards being exercised around the world. And I think there are lots of devastated divas out there who have similar issues to raise. So I am presented you a platform to share your concerns, stories, disappointments,... whatever.
I am starting a non-violent movement; only verbal bashing allowed...
