There are seven billion human beings on this
planet. It has been about two hundred thousand years since human came into
existence. Since then we have come so far, from caves to fully automatic
houses. From horse carts to supersonic jet planes. We have civilizations,
democracy, globalization liberalization and a lot more. Still half of the
population of is treated as second class citizen in our so called modern
society. Until 28 November 1893 women were not allowed vote. 28 November 1893
free New Zealand became first country to give women right to vote. Over the
year the society has found new ways to mistreat women. Few days ago there was a
terrorist group gave justification about raping women they keep as hostage. A
news from a state of India where a lower cast girl was raped for trying to
drink water from a place which only so called upper cast can use. Gang Rape of
a girl ordered by Khap for marrying to a person of other cast. Someone slapped
a television actress for wearing short cloths. The incident of miss treating
women are common all over the world. I am giving an example of India since I am
more connected to it. And I know more about it than other places.
What kind of modern society is this where half of the population can’t wear
what they want, Can’t marry to whoever they want, a girls will is crushed as
soon as she attain some conciseness as she is chained. In India most of the
couple keep having kids until they have a boy to continue their so called
legacy. In poor families girl child is not fed properly until she suffer from
malnutrition and finally die. As aborting a girl child is illegal so they give
birth to her and starve her to death. There was used a device in Europe few
centuries ago that could be used as underwear which had lock to prevent women
from cheating on their husband. Women has been subjected to this cruelty since
the very start of human race.So what’s wrong? It’s not like that they are less in numbers. I don’t know what make a man feel he is superior. One reason I feel is that a girl and a boy both are raised differently. A boy is raised with a feel of superiority on the other hand girl child is raised to serve this superior feeling of man. If a girl stand up to this she is considered characterless. If will to study instead of marry at early age, wear some comfortable cloths is considered characterless then most of the men should be considered the same. But the rules are different for men and for women.
We are knowingly weakening half of our population. If all this continue it will soon will have disasters result which will not be good for human kind. Discrimination only generate hate and what kind of world it will be if half of the population hate the other half. And hate only brings destruction. if we are supposed to advance we need to take everyone just one half can’t do it alone for long. Equality and respect are the only things that can keep peace. The way we are living we are bound to doom ourselves.
