What is a woman? why is she being disrespected? Is she really weak? Is rape a punishment for being a woman?.....and more such question and even more question marks.
These days all i can think about is RAPE. That make me..ummmm..pervert? cheap? feminist?
I think it makes me 'awaken'. I have at last woken up and now I'm thinking "where am i? what's happening." I'm shedding my ignorant self and asking questions...
And this too is 'wrong'. I CANT ask question about such hush hush issues. I'm bluntly told not to tell anyone how i get stared at on the road, how someone touched me inappropriately in the bus, how that pervert in the lift was getting close. I am not suppose to talk about it or tell anyone about it. Reason? Our society still thinks that a girl is at fault if something like this happens to her. And i'm not talking about the oldies, even people studying in schools and colleges feel this way."The girl must have done something to get it'' attitude needs to go away.
Respect is not equal to chivalry guys!! Respect mean fighting injustice. And fighting injustice is not going to India gate or jantar mantar to protest, it means respect a girl because she is a girls.
"Pink shirt kyu pehna hai..ladki hai kya". "Man up". "Why are your crying like a girl" . These are all symptoms of a faulty society. If you think Pink is for girls and haath mein choodiyan kamzor log pehente hai then please wake up!
Women are not weak. They give birth to you, then how can you hit them, rape them, kill them !! Your mother and the girl walking on the road deserve the same respect. Just because she is not related t you in any way, you can say or do anything to her.
Stand up. Fight this mentality. I urge all those parents who have sons to instill respect in them towards women. Teach them that a girl is smart and not weak and stupid. She is capable of doing all that a man can do.Father and mother both head the family. Educate them about good touch and bad touch. and when a girl says NO, understand it means no!
I'm 21 unmarried and i don't have any children. But still i think how will i raise my kids specially boys. How will i tell them that tying rakhi does not mean that women are weak and men are powerful, so they ask men to protect them. how will i ever explain.? so many questions...so many.
