All over the world International Women’s Day is celebrated on 8th March!
Allow me first of all to wish all my feminine friends, and relatives all the very best in life for you! ❤️🙏
Life is not possible without women. According to 2021 statistics, 49.5 % of the world's population is made up of women. Being almost equal in number, women must be treated equally in all walks of life.
First of all, those who were born with sisters know very well that women are not the weaker sex. Girls even at a young age are brighter in studies, can stand arguments well and stick to rules, and are more disciplined than boys as they grow up.
At least my sister did - she is brighter, smarter, and can advise better in situations than me. After my parents passed away, she readily took over the role of my mother and I seek her help for the most important decisions in life.
So sister becomes the first friend and playmate. Unlike many male friends who readily agree with you every time, a sister can be highly critical of the mischievous situation one can get in and take a corrective course by complaining to patients very early! This may not really be appreciated at that time by us, but when you ponder later on, sisters can decide quicker on what should be done by the book!
When you get married, the wife takes over. She looks after the children, cares for the husband, and advises regularly amicable, critically at times too! A good wife is like a sounding board. She is all ears to your problems in confidence, and can guide you in an amicable way!
Women are generally non-confronting like most men and can be diplomatic. They are more patient, and courteous.
I always feel that if your relationship with your sister and wife is good, respectful, and considerate, you will respect women on par with men.
But traditionally women were designated to household activities, looking after the children, caring for the husband, and catering to the joint-family needs. The husband was the sole breadwinner, brought food to the table, and hence formed the head of the house.
But as we know, times are changing, as they must! In most households nowadays, both the husband and the wife work to make ends meet. So the duties of looking after the children, and doing the chores at home are all shared. Hence the man knows that the woman is equal to him in his heart and head. This is most important in the outlook of society.
We are indeed proud that our President is an accomplished lady who has written a nice article in TOI today about the role of women in our society. She has mentioned that the social mindset should encourage a smile in a girl and help her to move on in life.
It is true that there are more women surgeons, lady dentists, veterinary surgeons, women commercial and jet pilots, auto drivers, bus drivers, astronauts, lawyers, engineers, judges, police, top entrepreneurs, and top CEOs of hospitals and corporates.
Knowing that the incidence of women and men is almost equal in the world, it is only fair, we treat them equally at home and at jobs. We must give them equal facilities for education, to choose their own partners in life, to decide on what jobs they want to do, and to share all our jobs and opportunities with them.
Progress and mindset take time, but let me assure you that we are headed in the right direction!
That will be the best gift, progress with a changed mindset, you can give to a woman!
