MEN against WOMEN

"Its now men who are discriminated against women"

 I know it’s a buzzing era of women’s liberation and emancipation, and rightfully so! It’s been centuries of oppression in a patriarchal society, being subjected to just an extension of a man as someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s wife, or someone’s mother. With women coming into their own and being shoulder-to-shoulder with men in the workplace, breaking glass ceilings and revelling in their freedom and independence and with laws changing to protect and empower women, females are riding a wave of strength.


However, it seems in the battle for equality, the concept of equality has become a bit skewed.  For example, if a man whistles at a woman it’s sexual harassment, but if a woman whistles at a man it’s women empowerment? If a man talks openly about his affair with a woman he’s indecent, but if she talks about it, she’s honest? If a man respects his parents’ wishes and is obedient, he’s a mummy’s boy, but if a girl does the same to her parents she has ‘sanskriti’ and good values? If a man orders his woman around he’s a boor and if he listens quietly he’s henpecked? Whereas if a woman orders her man around she’s considered ‘a strong woman’ and if she listens to his ordering her around, she’s a doting, caring wife?

 Why does women empowerment have to equate to male bashing? If the quest is for equality, why discriminate against men? 

Let’s truly be equal and let the same rules and leniency apply for women that do for men, and vice versa.

"Gender equality is not a woman's issue, its a HUMAN ISSUE."
