Respect Woman?

We live in a very advanced yet diverse society. It is not sure who will we encounter when we step out of our homes every day. Life is unpredictable and so are people. On the one hand where this society offers us a place to live and grow on the other hand it also breeds crime. Diverse people and their unfavourable circumstances results in their diverse needs - monetary, emotional or physical …. People wandering and struggling to fulfill their needs are always in a folly to quench them. And unethical means adopted by them in this quest leads to CRIME.

We cannot be sure who will be a next victim of this unprecedented crime in the society and what will we have to loose…

Women have always been a soft target for evil doers in the society and it keeps increasing with time. Who should be put to blame? Respect of woman and their safety is an underlying question.

All I can say is that we have not taken it seriously YET. Or should I say we have not taken it respectfully as YET. It is an issue of women dignity and their rights to live as equally as men in the society.  Let’s not wait for an incident or yet another attack on female victim to arouse this thought. Let’s not wait for yet another woman liberation movement or a candle light protest to start with. Let’s think about it right now at this very moment and imbibe it into our minds.

Yes, I am being a feminist here, talking very boldly about woman liberation and rights. Well, I am just talking here about a very important point to create a space for men and women to coexist together in safety and dignity. Our mind-set, our culture and our feelings towards women-hood has to be cultivated in a manner to respect this thought and not intrude anyone’s privacy.

I am not talking about any gender based bias or reservation for women or nor am I urging the society to treat them special. But at least we can treat them equal and build an equal level of respect for everyone irrespective of gender.

Do we blame lack of education for this? To a large extent, yes, but on a deeper note I don’t really feel so. For that matter even some of the commonly used abusive words in the society go against the dignity of womanhood. And we, the educated masses of the society, so casually and naturally adopt or are ignorant about them. I am not saying that makes all of us disrespectful towards woman or womanhood. But, it spoils the culture and if not anything it aggravates a sense of cheapness in the society about woman dignity. All evil erupts from evil thoughts.

It’s a shame if we are so casual about respect for woman and yet vigilant for their safety. Let’s build a culture to live and survive for all of us.

Policing and taking very stringent steps to curb crime, misbehaviour or any other form of exploitation has to be brought in. But at the same time let’s also build around a strong foundation of respect and dignity.

Masculinity does not lie in exploiting a victim or passing indecent comments on women. It is about protecting them….Lets Respect Woman and their privacy…
