ARE YOU REALLY FREE

My question is are you really free? Have we set women free? When I say this don’t say this that you have given them equal rights. You have not. Right from there birth life is tough for them. If a girl child is born then you will not appreciate it. Your in-laws will prefer a boy child. When she starts exploring the world then you don’t want them to do good. You don’t want to teach her well. All you can think of is always dominating them and suppressing them so much that they cannot fly. But boss you cannot dominate them. They will rebound. Why does she need to take her husband’s surname? Why does she need to consistently prove that she is a woman. Why does she need to prove her individuality?

Well I will share a story of mine. A friend of mine, his girlfriend, says that she will take her surname post their marriage. The guy is very adamant that he will not give his surname to his girlfriend. Is it necessary? You tell me. I am Ankur Unnayan. Why does my girlfriend need to be Simran Sharma Unnayan? She can be Simran Sharma post marriage. I will tell you one thing very strongly that women are very strong.

Answer one question? Does your mother work? You will say no. Because for you only your father works. Is she paid well? Does she have equal rights? You will never consider this that she is a housewife then that is a work that continues without any leave. This office is open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Does she get any remuneration for it? No. You don’t even consider being a housewife a work without being paid.

You feel that it is very easy for them. No it is not. Recently, Zomato introduced period leave for women. A section of the media applauded it and another section did not. Why do we need to celebrate it? It has to be considered normal. Don’t you think? Any woman who works and manages the house is celebrated. Celebrate everything. Provide her the space to breathe. Let her be the way she wants to be. She wants to stroll naked on the beaches let it be.

Recently, Kannada actress Samyukhta Hegde was shamed for wearing a sports bra in a park and working out by a local Congress leader. She was a woman. Is that the type of nation we want to live in? All the above facts are applicable in the city contexts. When you descend to the Indian villages the situation goes into remorse. Women are not allowed to think. They are beaten, they don’t have rights, they are not educated. We need to celebrate women and normalize this.

In 2020 also every girl has been eveteased once on this planet. What is the kind of environment we are providing. A man is ever asked what will he do when he goes home? No. If I own a supercar and I have a hot chick sitting in it I will be considered cool. Can a girl do the same. No. You think it is easy for them. Right from 00:00:01 seconds of their birth they need to prove themselves. They never have it easy. My readers, I cannot guarantee that a day will come when men and women are on an equal level playing field? This has been the case since the onset of mankind. We men have it very easy. We need to rethink and level it up.

They will lead their lives. Come in the next part and I will show you what more do you have. Feminism. Think about it? Let’s make the world a better place.
