“What do you want to become in your next life?” – The question which we all must have answered. Ask a woman, if she still wishes to be a woman in her next life and the reaction would be a considerable amount of pondering and then probably a NO! Ask a man, and he proudly says “Yes! A man again”. A time pass question that has so much to say.
No specific day for a man – they have all the days with them unlike women with just one day!
It is still a male-dominated society; however, the metro cities have shown a major change. Women are becoming powerful by expressing themselves more but the societal mentality is still a problem.
Ask an urban woman, if she wants to visit her grandmother who resides in a village. A strange worry can easily be seen on her forehead. You have to change it all – those fully covered dresses; preferably suits, staying at home all the time, hesitation in picking up a male friend’s phone, talking nice and so on.
Our society is designed in such a way, that not just men but even the ladies of old times have contributed so much in suppressing the position of women.
“Feminism” exists but more of it is still required. There are so many things written on women.
People read on to them, sympathize and move on the very same way. Let me not make it just another writing piece mentioning women’s sacrifices, her deep love, her contributions to society, and what she gets in return – the female infanticide, dowry murders, forced sex, eve-teasing, domestic violence and so on. These things are so much common that women have started taking things as normal. Nobody wants to fight or question a man and society. I wish to see a world where a man is turned into a woman to understand what she goes through throughout her life.
Sometime back, someone asked me the same question – “what do I want to be in my next life – a man or a woman”. Without much thinking I answered “man”; not because I am not proud to be a woman but I want to know a man’s mind, his hard heart, how eve-teasing can give him pleasure, does he turn robot when he forces a lady for sex, doesn’t his heart cry when his wife is tortured for money, does he feel proud with the amount of dowry he gets, what fun does it give to cheat on to his girl, and of course, I want to understand that damn Man’s Ego.
Women’s day – 8th march
She smiles when somebody wishes her. She smiles when she gets a gift on the day. Sometimes a man decides to cook for her this special day to give her respect and thank them for the things she does for him and the family. She might get a beautiful dress. Go out on this day, and just see how the malls and brands make the day so very obvious. I wish the things done on this special day become a usual affair. Respect throughout her life.
Though the celebrations on a particular day at least make the things noticed. It would be a great time when the day will be celebrated even in the remotest of areas. I am taking it as a positive start. But this start should achieve a right finish too.
For all the companies making the best use of the day – let's make it happen all over the place, not just for marketing your own product but changing the positioning of women among the target audience called man and the society – because you have the resources to make it happen.
