It's Woman's Day. This day overwhelms me. I mean...there are so many things I feel this day. The world celebrates Woman's Day. Look, we have 'WOMEN' making it to the top in every field. They are becoming entrepreneurs, they are mangers, they are home-makers, they are gold medalists...and so on and so forth. Strength of a woman, Go Woman! All these things only make me feel weird about being a woman.
Because I think, we live in a world where if a woman makes it big, it's a big deal. "She is a Woman, YET she made it big". If a woman fails to do so, it won't be said, 'She doesn't have what it takes', it will be 'Women don't have what it takes'. Look around yourself. If there's a dumb girl right next to you doing dumb deeds for obvious reasons, your friends are going to say, "Women are dumb, here's another example". They could easily say, "She is dumb" but they won't. If you see a woman driving carelessly, the immediate reaction will be, "Why do women drive?". Do you get what I am saying? If a woman makes a mistake, or acts dumb, or simply goes bonkers while driving, it's not her being blamed, it's all the women in the world getting stereotyped.
To be honest, how many intelligent 'men' do we really see around? Try and recall all those dimwit idiots with those pathetic pick up lines, or inflated egos, no sense of humor, no intellect etc. All those local romeos who stare/letch at anyone who happens to be a woman, age no bar. How many women are there in the daily accidents that happen on roads? Remember...all those smashed heads of those reckless bikers? Or the crushed cars and autos thanks to the truck drivers? Yeah, men are bad drivers too.
And even if women have inborn poor direction or driving skills...so what? Let it be. How many times have women blamed men for having absolutely ghastly cooking skills, or poor cleanliness sense? It's all okay. Women are good at few things, men are good at others. Rest all the things can be tried and tested by both genders, why categorize a woman for everything she does or doesn't?
I will be happy when women too can live in the world without being 'noticed' or 'celebrated'. Just like men. Because women aren't something that different after all.
Women too feel like men, react like men, have less or more brains like men, have superb or pathetic driving skills like men, have great or awful dressing sense like men, have different intellectual levels like men.
If you want to pass judgements sitting on your chair next time, pass it on that person. Don't generalize. Women are better off without your special remarks about this gender. If you do, don't jump around whining when tagged as an MCP. And that won't be a wrong judgement too, because the women around you will only call YOU one. ;)
