DISCLAIMER:- This article does not aim to attack a
particular gender or belittle anybody. Any resemblance to any person living or
dead is purely coincidental and unintentional. It attacks only the male
chauvinists. If it annoys you in any way then there is a slight possibility
that you are a male chauvinist deep down inside. This topic was given as a
debate in college and hence has quite an attacking approach! Moreover the
recent “event” in Delhi provoked me to post this.
“There should be reservation for women in India”
Marianne Williamson says and I quote- “when a woman rises up in glory, her energy is magnetic and sense of possibility contagious”
I, an independent, self reliant woman of the 21st
century, stand here “without reservation” to inherently oppose the motion.
From childhood we all have heard the famous saying- “Educate a
man, you educate an individual; educate a woman, you educate a whole
generation.”
I would like to literally tickle the dozing, dominant, male
chauvinists and bring to their kind notice that women today, are in no way
subservient to men, neither are they dependent on your modest donation of
reservations.
It is the 21st century where a woman has been the
President of your country, where Sunita Williams and Kalpana Chawla have walked
the moon, wake up oh inferiority struck male society, the era of womanhood has
begun.
Gone are the days when the future of women was dependent on
the whims of males, when women walked in half meter long “ghunghat”; today’s
women rule companies walk in Armani jackets and are much more capable than men
and hence need no reservation.
Well groomed, well educated and fully capable of protecting
herself, women no longer need to be restrained in meaningless shackles of
society. The women today are in no way backward that they need crutches of
reservation to rise to glory. They are as equipped and as capable as men to
rise and excel.
Hence addition of another reservation is not a good idea at
all! J
P.S. we shouldn’t be preaching women to be safe. Rather make
the society a better and safer place to live in. And for all males dont be the man who stares at some improperly dressed but rather be THE MAN who offers them a jacket to put on!
R.I.P. Delhi. This killed you.
