Completely agree with you 100% Souro.👏 Both genders should receive equal opportunities and both better be grilled strictly before getting a job. In today's world, it does not matter whether you are a guy or girl, but it's your ability and intellect needed for the job which are taken into consideration. It is very less today to see a male dominating a female. and it's pretty stupid for those feminists (not all) who want special privilege even if they lack the ability, in the name of feminism. It's the males of previous society's fault how women were treated then. Why should the men of today's society be punished for that? That's just stupid...everyone's equal, both men and women, and no one should get special treatment.
Also, who said women today are more competent and can multi task? I haven't seen many women do that. They're either house wives who take care of their families really well or they're women who work and bring home salary and support their family that way. I haven't seen one female so far who can do both and still bring up a good family. Both men and women have the ability to do what they're good at. Everyone's competent at something, more or less, so it's foolishness to think a whole gender is better than the other. That's not much different from the mindset of previous society. The goal of today's society is to move away from that mindset, and if feminists want men to be treated as lower today, then how can they be expected to be called better than the men of the previous society? It's just repeating the same mistake over. Foolish...😒

Some natural Fact I feel....If a man starts crying and weeping, people start telling him, "Don't weep like a woman, don't cry like a woman; don't be sissy." This is nonsense -- becoe a man has as many tear-glands in his eye as a woman. Thre r moments whn a man is soft and should be feminine. 😉

Same like ..If a girl starts behaving like a man, is ambitious, aggressive -- mm? -- people start thinking that something is wrong... something hormonal is wrong....😊
and Its true that...sometimes in a rage a woman becoms more dangerous than a man, and sometimes in soft moments a man is more loving than any woman .....
Society teach us.....woman has to be a woman twenty-four hours --soft, loving, compassionate..... this is too much of a duty. sometimes she also wants to fight, be angry, throw things -- n this is good...This is how God has become divided in you, to have a play of hide n seek wth himself....
And in our deep down aware of the fact that the woman has something which he does nt have. In the first place the woman is attractive to him, she looks beautiful. He falls in love with the woman, the woman becomes almost an addiction to him...😃we condemn all qualities as weaknesses Women are women and men are men...... there is no question of comparison.😊
I agree we man wanted to prove himself superior....in different cultures, different countries, bt her imprisonment has been almost the same...I feel the real superiority has its own magnetic force. Becos men condemned woman......its true that....woman is more loving. The man has not shown greater love than the woman. Millions of women have died ...... thy have jumped alive into the funeral pyre wth their beloveds becos thy could not conceive of a life without their husband or friend.....single man has dared to jump into a funeral pyre with his wife😉She is brave enough....but she lack ambition...she only need support...not a feminist group...😊

Check this:-
[quote]When the right nostril is breathing you are male. And after near about forty-eight minutes they change. Continuously -- day, night -- this change happens. When you are breathing by the left nostril your right-brain hemisphere functions: the right is the feminine part. When you are breathing from the right nostril your left brain functions: that is the male part. And sometimes you can play games with it.
If you are very angry then do one thing: close your right nostril and start breathing by the left, and within seconds you will see the anger has disappeared -- because to be angry you need to be in the male part of your being. Try it and you will be surprised. Just by changing the breath from one nostril to another, something of tremendous importance changes. If you are feeling very cold towards the world then breathe from the left nostril and let your imagination, fantasy, warmth, flow in -- and you will suddenly feel full of warmth.

yes Sonu, my sentiments exactly. Actually the 2 genders are better off complementing each other instead of competing. 😊

If females opt for looking after a sick family member in preference to that all imp meeting that can lead to her promotion , its b coz of their psyche. She is then seen as less ambitious. I think its all a matter of priority. Given a choice between looking after a sick child all alone at home to attending a meeting or a conference many females wud opt for the former not b coz they are less ambitious or less capable but becoz of priorities. Here I respect the womans decision in listening to her feminine instincts . I think it's a woman who usually contributes more to a family's stability & well being than the bread earning other half. A happy family makes for a happy society & humanity. Thereby I feel that its really unfair to Be comparing a male & female in terms of official posts & earning capacity. A woman can achieve any post she desires once she sets her mind on it but its just that she has set her heart on better things.

Talking about the present topic – regarding gender equality- how many men wud be ready to share the chores that are perceived to be a females prerogative? After hubby & wife get home from office how many times does the hubby volunteer & make coffee for both? How many husbands share cooking, washing, nappy changing, solving quarrels among their kids, catering to relatives whimsical demands etc equally with their wife? This is what equality is about .why shud the husband always get the privilege of more rest, quiet & peace while the wife is hassled all the while inspite of equal earnings ??

A man is supposed to be having more stamina & physical strength, more haemoglobin too, so wudnt it be fair for him to do more physical chores than the woman? But instead its often the woman who has to do most of the chores in everyday life ! So, Who is the stronger sex here !!! ?? !!!
Its just womans mindset that needs changing as pointed out in an earlier post. She needs to realize this & start acting fast & set things right. I think the first thing that she needs to do is create & ensure respect for herself as a woman rather than merely competing in the workfield. As a woman she deserves respect ! Its not a privilege. She has to ensure that she passes on the right values to her children- both sexes. ( I b liv this to B her greatest contribution to humanity )Boys have to be taught to respect their sisters , mothers & other females . Economic independence helps but only financial independence is not enough. She has to be psychologically independent too.

Yeah , that's the way it ought to be !😊

In today's world, it does not matter whether you are a guy or girl, but it's your ability and intellect needed for the job which are taken into consideration.

Gender is an imp consideration at times . Some companies may not be very keen on hiring female workers if there is a choice between an equally qualified male & female candidate; as they are not too keen about giving maternity benefits to female employees. In addition it's the female employee who usually take leave to look after a sick relative. This puts them at a disadvantage for being selected

It is very less today to see a male dominating a female.

I wud disagree here .😊 Because of certain prevailing customs & prejudices , the female child is denied equal opportunity by her parents. Children are dependent on their parents upto certain age so in a male dominated society a female does face some disadvantages regarding education or choice of career. Male dominates mostly where he is the earning member. Now that the females have started getting financially independent the male dominance in family is being increasingly challenged & often leads to family disputes due to fragile egos.

and it's pretty stupid for those feminists (not all) who want special privilege even if they lack the ability, in the name of feminism. I m also against privileges without capability. U certainly cant make a woman a pilot just for equality unless she is trained to be capable ! 😉

It's the males of previous society's fault how women were treated then. Why should the men of today's society be punished for that? Not all male have really changed that much even today. Even now many males in the society are quite regressive in their thinking inspite of their education !😔

That's just stupid...everyone's equal, both men and women, and no one should get special treatment.

Yeah no one shud get special treatment nor any special mistreatment .👍🏼 I m all for equal opportunities ! Let all men share the household & child rearing chores equally with their female counterparts and we wud have an even ground for both the sexes to a great extent !😉

Also, who said women today are more competent and can multi task?

Yeah , its wrong to generalize . Competency is a quality not all females nor do all males possess.

I haven't seen many women do that. They're either house wives who take care of their families really well or they're women who work and bring home salary and support their family that way. I haven't seen one female so far who can do both and still bring up a good family.

There are some females who are doing an excellent job at both homefront as well as jobfront !I agree it's a tight rope walk ! BTW for that matter , how many men have we seen doing a good job of both?

Both men and women have the ability to do what they're good at. Everyone's competent at something, more or less, so it's foolishness to think a whole gender is better than the other. That's not much different from the mindset of previous society. The goal of today's society is to move away from that mindset, and if feminists want men to be treated as lower today, then how can they be expected to be called better than the men of the previous society? It's just repeating the same mistake over. Foolish...

Mindset needs changing in a lot of fields. Prejudices towards gender, race, color, religion , customs all need to be changed 😊

I agree with Souro here.
Just because women have been treated as second class citizens over the years does mean that they should be given special priveleges. And I am against the whole concept of reservation. Even if the woman is competent enough, she would not earn the same respect from her male peers if she had secured the job through reservation. On one hand we ask for equal opportunities, and on the other hand want special priveleges.
As regarding the discrimination against girls child, I feel the mindset needs to change within the family first.
