It’s more than just an ‘O’ that separates ‘women’ from ‘we men’


For all those perverts alias friends who consider me a womanizer, better skip this one. I am not a feminist either. To be honest, I don’t believe in equality based on gender, rather I hold faith in parity by the virtue of being a human being & the associated basic rights. My definition of being fair is not to judge people by putting them on to the same pedestal but to recognize & appreciate the diversity that has been bestowed upon us by nature. Since the time I can remember, I’ve been an ardent admirer of the ‘fairer sex’. This admiration stems out from a lot of reasons further consolidated by a host of experiences.

This post is dedicated to all the women who’ve been a part of my life at some stage or the other, immaterial of the duration or nature of association, influencing the course of my journey in some way or the other, thus responsible for who I am today.

To begin with, nature has gifted them with the most precious of capacities, to bear their off springs & thus contribute almost entirely to the process of reproduction of our species. However the boon is accompanied by a great deal of responsibility as well as tremendous pain & suffering, both physical & mental, that she must endure. Not to mention the extremely annoying & disturbing menstruation cycle that must be dealt with for the greater part of their lives. We men can’t even begin to imagine our lives with all these as an integral part of it. Yet most of us would bask in our glory of being stronger & claim to be playing a more vital role in the procreation of our kind. Strength reminds me, it’s a scientifically proven fact that very few men would come out alive of a labour room considering the infinite amount of pain involved during child birth. Now what I wish to emphasize here is the need of recognition of this special attribute that only our female population has & to stop pushing them on academic & professional fields at times when they voluntarily wish to take it easy. Comparisons in such arenas are not just unfair but also tend to destabilize the basic natural processes by creating excessive pressure on either of the two sexes.

Only a woman’s mind can match the complexity of her body. Ages have passed by & hoards of philosophers passed away, none could fathom the intricacies of it. It can provide the vital potential for running a successful nation & at the same time can be lethal enough to tear down empires. It offers the most creative of ideas for our society & yet can design numerous convoluted webs of deceit & surprise. The most beautiful attribute of a woman’s brain is that it cannot be replicated or simulated. And once again we consider the latter a weakness since the calculative & rational nature of our brains, also the characteristic feature of a computer, is highly over rated. This further emphasizes thorough comprehension of every trait of a human’s mind so that it can be utilized to the utmost.

The law of nature is inequality. It has endowed us with different set of attributes that is the basis of any relationship that prevails on the planet. To consider one of these traits superior, possessed by one particular group of humans, is unfair. To push the other group to possess similar characteristics is even more tragic. Recognizing & nurturing the nuances is the only way of making this world more “equitable”.  

Cheers to life :-)

  6. Hi everyone!there certainly seems to be some amount of misinterpretation regarding few of the things I stated. First of all, this post is not taking a feminist shot at things or nagging or cribbing about their condition in the society. It's also not about a male dominated society & it's treatment of women. IT's only highlighting some of the major differences that exist between the two sexes & why there is a need to recognize those differences so that we can treat each other more fairly. Also, it's about recognizing the fact that differences are nature's law & we shouldn't consider one set of qualities superior to the other one. It's only then that we can call this society an equitable one!!!

  13. In my view, respecting a human being irrespective of gender is more important than putting either of the sex on a higher pedestral. What we have to realise that every body has some plus or minuses. Seeing these traits on the basis of gender is the root cause of the problem. I would appeal everybody to start loving each other and generate positive energy.
