Women have always been a symbol of oppression in every society I've read about. There wasn't one society which respected women and regarded them equivalent to men. This is not only the practice in different parts of India, but also in cultures all around the world.
For instance, I read the book 'So Long a Letter' by Mariama Ba, and that book speaks about the atrocities against Senegalese woman in a post-colonial Africa. Despite being educated, the protagonist was enslaved by customs and culture all throughout her life. This points out the narrow-minded age old traditions which are still being practiced around the globe.
We do not understand why in the first place were women suppressed? Was it related to the physical weakness? Was it related to the unpredictable mood swings? What was the reason?
Women are strong, they are fun, they are beautiful, incredible, unpredictably sweet, forgiving, sacrificing and loving. I fall short of words to describe women. Respect and dignity to everyone irrespective of their gender is a vital thing for the society to live.
Women are opening up now-a-days, they have spread their wings to master every walk of life. I am so proud to be a lady! I will follow my dreams and fly high, maybe reach for the stars?! I will fall once and once again, I will stand up and walk ahead, learn from my mistakes and be who I want to be!
Let us all grow out of the shell that is protecting us, let us show the world, equality is what we believe in, nothing SPECIAL for us!
