These days we see women fighting for equality. What equality? Women think that to raise out of their "inferiority", they need to do what men do. In this way, don't they automatically admit to themselves that men are "superior"?
Inferiority and superiority are just matters of perception. Men are considered superior because they seem to dominate the important things in life. They earn, are bread winners of the family. Women don't realize that they too have important parts to play. They give birth to life, take care of it, first in their wombs and then after birth, teach them discipline, manners and other skills to survive life. In this way, women are closer to nature.
Men are closer to culture. To some extent, culture was created by men because they didn't have the miracle of creating life, the way women do. Men have created abstract objects. Culture, buildings, financial markets, political systems, etc. They have created things that are thought to be superior to what women create and nature because what men create is "immortal". Which of course is a false notion, as nature's fury destroys the tallest of buildings within seconds.
Women who say that having a job is the way of being superior automatically admit that men are superior as they have jobs. There is also a tendency among women that they have the burden of developing the children into good human beings. They think that the job men do is easier. Go out, make money. In a way, they are trying to run away from their responsibilities.
In reality, men and women both play an equally important part role on this planet. Women give birth and rear the future generation, men provide a platform for this future generation to survive on.
So, women, next time you feel you are inferior, think of the beautiful miracle of life that you have the power of creating. God is said to have created everything in the universe, females were created to continue this creation. Isn't that a wonderful gift in itself? Why do you need to do a man's job to feel that you are superior?
Women and men are equal, it all comes down to perception. You can consider yourself inferior for a lot of reasons and be a pessimist, the list will go on, or you can be an optimist and instead of seeing what you don't have, see what you do have.
Good job ! Keep it up !
ReplyDeleteYou may say men and women are equal, and we are, however we are very different - and there are evolutionary reasons for this.
ReplyDeleteEvolution is what has made man the more sexual of the two genders for example. This has been because having sex with a wide array of fertile women was the evolutionary survival strategy that most benefitted man. Women evolved a very different strategy. They would find a male partner and use him to protect their offspring and therefore their genetic legacy. The men would agree to this because the women would provide sex. In other words men provide love to get sex and women provide sex to get love.
This is not to say that all men are cheaters who are all constantly on the lookout for new prospects and it is not to say that all women are gold diggers who are looking for the man who has the most power and influence to protect them. All I am saying is that this is the evolutionary strategy that benefited the genders best throughout our history. If you look at the social structure of any society, you will see these values reflected in some major way... One should not look at the genders as superior and inferior but as two entities that cannot live without one another. One must not forget that we live in symbiosis and must respect eachother for that reason.
well said kanika...
ReplyDeleteThe search for 'equality' between 'men' and 'women' is like a dog chasing its own tail. It will always be out of reach. And the very act of chasing it is costing us a great deal and causing tremendous damage to us
"Women have always been the primary victims of war"
Men also pay much more in taxes than women but receive far less in benefits from the government.
comparison is not possible.....
give respect to women
awesome kanika......
