Must read post

I found this post on a blog. You all have to read it.

Unknown author:

Recently I came across these two articles about women in our society by Kalki Koechlin and by Chetan Bhagat, which I would like to share with you all. Especially because, its triggered a question in my mind and may be by sharing it with some people might make them think on it and hopefully might bring some change, doesn’t matter how small it is.

“Do we really respect our women?”

And by respecting I don’t mean celebrating women’s day once a year (BTW we don’t celebrate men’s day because all year through we care about them) or sharing forwards about ‘how women do so much and sacrifice so much for us’ once a while. By respect I mean, do we look at her as another equal human and not as a woman? And when I am using the word ‘we’ I am addressing not only men of our society but also the women including mothers, mother in laws, sister in laws and everyone else.

 Do we really reasapect our women? Are we considerate and sensitive towards them?

Today women are educated, intelligent and independent. They pay their own bills, take study loans and manage them on their own, drive around alone to manage work, manage kids, manage finances, share the burden of EMI’s with their father/ huband. While they help and share the financial burden with their male partners, in return do we consider sharing their burden? Do we ever wonder how she manages office and home both? While we come home and relax after work, she is busy making dinner and preparing dabba for next day. While we get up and relax on sofa in front of the TV on a Sunday morning, she gets up and makes breakfast, lunch so we get it ready on table in front of us. Have we ever wondered that like us she also works the whole week and might want to relax over weekend? Have we ever noticed that she has to help her mother in kitchen after college while her brother goes to play cricket?

And when this stress gets too much for her, becoming a house wife is the only solution left for her?

A man can choose what he wants to do in life. He can become an engineer, a hair dresser, a scientist or even a cook. And he will get the care and respect when he return home after work irrespective of his job or his skills or his earnings. But a woman doesn’t have choice when it comes to home chores. Whether she is good at it or not and whether she has a liking towards it or not.

When a girl gets married she is taught to be happy in whatever her husband earns and gets home cause not all men are equally talented at everything and not all men are equally successful. Then why do we expect only excellence from our daughters and daughter in laws, when it comes to cooking and other home chores? Are all women born with cooking talent? And liking towards it?

When a baby is born, he needs mother’s milk, her love, care, affections equally whether it’s a boy or a girl. The innocence, the playfulness, the curiosity doesn’t depend on the gender. Where and why do we start treating them differently as they grow up?

While there are lots of such unfair things women have to live with in our society; the worst thing is we don’t even notice it forget about being considerate about it.

I just have one question, can we forget the gender and look at her as a human for a change? If we lived with a guy friend instead of our wife, will we still expect him to do everything alone that we expect our wife to do? Wont we help him and share the work with him? Then cant we help her too? Does she become a super human just because she is born a female?

The day we will start considering her equal to us in everything, even in every small work & every small moment of the day, we will have truly learned to respect her.

(though I agree with the first comment written by kritika, where she says that 'men need to change'. I think they need to share the burden of the work at home, he lesser work which is usually looked down at and hence is supposed to be done only by females.)
