Wo-men

I am not a woman, but I know how they are. There is a meme used extensively to make them feel inferior, where two characters drinking tea speak in sync, "Wo-men." The current situation has worsened so much that no one knows how important women are to society, not even many women themselves. There are some men who think of women as objects that they can simply use. One such man works with me in the same company, and he is such a disgusting person who has never respected even a single girl and only goes on objectifying them. Because of such men, many women have changed their perspective and have started accepting objectification. They begin to think of themselves the same way and present themselves with the worst drapery and habits that such disgusting men like. But that is not how good women act. Last year, during a conversation with our BE project guide, the discussion took a turn toward topics related to girls. In response to his biased view, I said, "Not every girl is bad or objectifies herself. There are some who would never do anything like that." At that time, I knew one girl, and she was the best. Now I know another, and they both are the best. Continuing the conversation, he tried to dismiss my point by saying something that had no real context. He said, "The entire Ramayana happened because of Sita, and you are saying this..." This is how many people have allowed their views to become rotten. They try to blame instead of listening. There is a huge difference between "because of" and "for." Speaking about the Ramayana, it happened **for Sita**, not **because of Sita**. The people of that time knew how important women were, and even the gods knew that. Whether you look at the Trojan War or any ancient war, be it Chittor or any other, none of them happened because of women; they happened for women. Woman is an idea entangled with creation itself. That is why we address our Earth, land, nation, and rivers as Mother. Still, some disgusting people think this way even though they themselves came into this world through a woman's womb. The other part comes here about women themselves, when they try to objectify themselves for the worst type of men. For that, they cross limits that they should not. Just because they start earning, they call themselves financially independent. Let me speak about independence here. We humans are social animals and always have some dependency on each other and on nature. Even if we are earning, we still depend on the one who pays us. Even plants, which make their own food, depend on water and sunlight. So, saying "I am independent" is just a myth. A great man once said, "The real freedom is the one that comes with restrictions and limitations." India became independent and gained its freedom in 1947, and we still have that freedom. But can we just bomb every other nation and declare all the land on Earth as India? No, because that would not be right. To remain good, we have to keep certain restrictions by which we are bound. These restrictions are something many women have to understand. Even men must keep restrictions. They both need to understand that men and women are here to complement each other. Women saying, "We can do anything," and saying, "We believe in gender equality," will not work much if it turns into competition. We are not identical. Nature itself has made us different because we complete each other. We do not have to challenge each other because of someone's propaganda meant to light a fire and misplace the focus, just as Roman kings used to distract people from real problems with what was called the "royal circus." At the same time, disgusting men have to stop objectifying women. Because when a woman becomes angry, she shifts from a creator to a destroyer and can do anything. She can defy devils; even the gods have to bow before her. So, do not take it lightly. I remember a small verse from a shloka that we had in 10th standard in the subject of Sanskrit. It goes like: "यत्र पूज्यन्ते नार्यस्तु, रमन्ते तत्र देवताः" It means, "Where women are worshipped, the gods reside there." Be respectful to be respected.
