It seems I am not being able to paint a decent enough picture with my posts.
So today I will write a story.
Once upon a time, there were two friends. The gender is not important. Let's just call them A & B.
They decided to be with each other forever.
One day, A took B into a minefield but promised that A will never leave B's hand and with A's help, B will get through it.
So trusting A's promise B entered minefield. B almost tripped once or twice, but A caught B on time. Some of them even tried to pull a wire to make B fall.
But the very next day of B entering the minefield, while B was still learning the map of the field, A left B's hand in a huff leaving B to navigate the minefield alone.
The people who had set the mines, started screaming directions to B all at the same time.
B kept getting confused and kept running through the maze like minefield where each wrong move can blow up on B's face.
All the while hoping A, the person who got B into the maze, would at least be there for one day, let alone whole life to ease B's way around this minefield.
But A is no where around. Once B is in the minefield, mission accomplished. A no longer needs to be with B or see to B's comfort. Although if B decides to leave in a huff like A and refuses to re-enter the maze, A will have plenty to say then.
Now you all know what I am talking about. Would you consider A a good partner now that A is a genderless, faceless, nameless entity?
This is called gender perception which is the biggest barrier to gender equality.
