Feminism is noble concept
of against ignoble thought of discrimination on the ground of sex. At the outset,
the division of gender roles was
based on the capacity to bear and nourish
the babies and;
to keep provisions ready in the entire time span. The division had no
arguments for thousands of years; but was later on challenged sometimes lightly
and sometimes intensely. This may be due to men taking their roles more
seriously and undermining female
roles or negating them
completely in the whole
progression of existence.
Men’s physical strength, their ability
to hunt (in modern times
their money making opportunity) and freedom
from child bearing liabilities made them high headed and arrogant
towards female. Under this backdrop we can
see the creation of patriarchal society in which all social norms were created
and controlled by men, making women a passive partner in the whole course.
Young women reacted in
multiple ways to harassment, from feeling afraid and ashamed, to fighting back.
When we step out of our homes then people stare at us in such a manner that
they have never seen a woman. When first time she was going to college, before
that she had never come out of the house, She was sitting in a tempo, then
there was a guy, he touched Her at Her back and She started crying. She cried
and shouted, I yelled at him saying that take your hands off me and I jumped
off the tempo.
Conclude, there is no time to fix on men by
coining new phrases or by settling scores which can’t be fruitful but it is
the time to fix on issues like better representation of women in jobs and
parliaments and to deal with crime against women both from within and without.
It should be made clear that women are individuals and not properties, which
could be exchanged or used to settle a feud. There is a lot to work to stop
honor killing and rape and to stop sex tourism and inequality against women. They should
ensure that there
should be no discrimination
on the
grounds of sex for entry
in temples or mosques, or
performing last rites of
parents or succession of wealth. Feminists must also ensure that there
should be no female infanticide and dowry deaths. The change must be positive
and in feminist perspective only. To treat men badly as a feminist ethos will
surely divert the attention from noble course of equality.
