Just a few things to note first:
1. after enduring nine months of pain a when a mother ultimately sees a boy, she's happy but if a girl is born she is not. why? why is her face down to see a girl who will be able to produce one like her?
2. after the work at office when a girl returns to home she has to teach her child even though the father is more educated. if we have to do so why dont our family give marriage to uneducated boys? what's the problem, if the dads wont take up the child's respensibility.
3. family saves for boy's education but girl's marriage. why dont they save for boy's marriage if they have to save for girl's marriage? or else why not for girl's education?
4. a rapist gets 5/7 years but society rejects the raped girl. why?
5. we worship mother Goddess, but have u ever seen female purohits/priests? why? why women are not to worship the mother, who is a girl?
6.even we also dont allow girls to enter the temples during menstrual periods. why? wont a child go to her mother during that time if she needs?
7. women to wear borkha, pardah, churnis to cover their faces so that boys dont see their faces. so why not impose helmets on boys so that girls dont see their faces too? otherwise just punish the evil eyed ones.
8. the girl have to wear saree otherwise the schools object the teacher's dress. we are very respectful to our culture. okay so why not tell the boys to wear dhoti & kurta for male teachers too?
9. a girl's father gets bankrupted by paying his daughter's dowry. isnt it worse than slavery? even the slave owners get money in exchange of slaves but girl's father has to give so. though ultimately she's no more than a family's slave.
10. an eve teaser's enjoyment is to bully a girl for being a girl. nobody teases a boy for being a boy.
11. after marriage a man is allowed to keep relation with his friends who may be of opposite sex, but not the girls, why?
12. killing of female infants/at the womb are banned but the tortures after being born are???
it's time for us to view & analyze the reasons behind & the process to irradicate them.

ReplyDeleteAradhita,these r the age old questions which hit the mind of every concious woman...But the male dominating socity fears to answer them...Because each and every question challenges the existence of male domination...
ReplyDeletethis was fantastic ara...keep it up...
ReplyDeleteA thoughtful work by assimilating facts of both traditional and modern women that will coerce male dominated society to sit back and think... This blog reminds me about the views of Mr. Jo Freeman published in American Historical Association, Boston in the early seventies under "The Women's Liberation Movement - Its origins, Structures and ideas"... Keep it alive....
