Happened to come across a post regarding boys Vs girls. Suddenly it struck me that of late, there are number of issues seen as boys V girl issues. Be it a TV prog or any other issue. Does two opposite sexes mean that one group should always point fingers at the other?I also came across a news article where one of the prominant faces has started a campaign against men to prove that the are potent before marriage. IMO, this is purely a personal issue and urging the Govt to create a law is ridiculous. I do agree that women have undergone hell in earlier days and is still happening. But will a woman be able to do it when a man demands it? I dont think many women will agree to this.
The improvement in literacy rates among women has come with a package. It has instilled the thought that they can survive in this world without the help of others. This is a welcome change. But, to what extent can this be accepted is a question mark. In some cases the feeling of self confidence goes overboard leading to a lot failures in marraige. Having started to write about marriages, a few issues strike me immediately. In the past few months, I have been hearing many sad-ending marriages, where innocent men were betrayed by women..Was that a co-incidence? I dont know. But it has actually kindled a lot of thoughts in me. What is marriage all about? Is not a give and take "Relationship"? I put relationship within quotes for a reason. Now-a-days, everything has become mechanical. Marriages are no exception. They are like written agreements. Again, there are a few exceptions. Men misbehaving with women and women not able to meet up with the expectations of men, and so many other cases have still not been thrown out of the society. Yet, the issue of women behaving strangely is on the rise.
The Media in the name of reality shows is not sparing anyone. It is happy to come up all shows that increase the rift between men and women. Neither of the sexes can survive without the other. Then why all this? On one of the channels, I see two teams competing against one another. The so called best part of the show is that, one team consists only of men and the other team consists only of women. Atleast, we can be happy that women think that they are equal to men. On the other hand, on another channel, the slave mentality of women is being exploited. It came up with a debate where-in women argue that they are the ones behind men's successes!!!!!!??????? And men sitting on the other team, deny the arguement. Ah! what an amazing way to increase the TRPs. The media instead of addressing the problem, is actually making things worse. Why do some women still want to them to be recognised as behind the scenes? When will this attitude change? When are we going to strike a balance?
I know that the answer can well be matched to an ideal situation. But, cant we actually strive hard to build and ideal situation wherein, women get duely recognised, men are no longer the villians in many girls' life and vice-versa?
Yes, we can build an ideal society if only we identify the problems and stop brooding over everything that we come across. We can build one society if we stop taking up pety issues and crying foul. .The above mentioned issues are only a small portion of the problem before us. If we look deep into all these issues, we might get many such which will years together for us rectify. Yet, we shall be determined to work towards resurrection. Things are changing. To those women who still feel that they need recognition for their men's success:- come out of the slave mentality and stop trying to be behind the scenes . To those who have come out of that and instilled the thought of equality/superiority, we still need men and they need us. So we both are equal. Let us not do what they did to us and spoil each other's lives. We have better things to do!!!
