WOMEN AND THEIR POSITIONS IN SOCITY




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.
