I don’t know what was the relation between Adam and Eve, when they had no other human being around them….but now, when we have so many Adams and Eves around us, I don’t think that the two ever shared a relationship of equal chances and opportunities.
The blunt truth of all societies, taken from the ultra modern west to the dogmatic east is that females are always considered inferior to males. ‘Male is always greater than female’; this equation is so deep-rooted in the society that it would take eras to change and not to mention that tens of eras have already passed bringing no or minimal changes.
Equality does not mean that my daughter gets the same calories as my son, or I invest equal on both of them…..thankfully, a sector of Indian society has crossed a threshold, where equality meant food, clothing and education. But, we are still to cross some other thresholds in the society. And among all, the greatest is the barrier of mentality.
Indian or any other society could not have equality of subjects, till we develop the vision to see every one with a same eye. Ironically, a male grants an equal status to a girl till she is his colleague or a friend…or in better words, does not have the power to implement his say in her life. And this status evaporates when the same man turns up at his wife, daughter or even a committed girl friend. Why? Because, earlier the girl had a nuisance value, which she looses, as soon as she falls into a commitment.
This axiom that its impossible to understand a woman’s emotions is as baseless as the hopes of getting an emotional man. Men can be anything, but emotional. Don’t take me wrong. I am not against anyone. In fact, some of my best friends are male….but there are a certain features, which you would always find in them, wherever and whatever they are.
The feeling of ‘men are men’ never leaves them alone. Even if they are very patient, very friendly and very understanding, still, they would never be like your best female friends. You could never expect them to teach you anything without proving that you stand low before them. Yeah…..the style might differ from person to person, depending upon their education, family or temperament. But, then again after all men are men. Perhaps, this is hormonal and physiological.
Whatever……but the best thing for which I thank lord for making me a girl is the courage to ‘surrender’. This is the difference between the mentality of a man and a woman. While, for a man, capitulation means accepting the defeat….the woman simply moves away, because she knows that many times, you do not want to win because then you know you would loose everything. Also, where there is love, there is no place for conflicts and when there is no conflict then there is no possibility of defeat. She understands and thus accepts this, which her male counterpart doesn’t.
Whatever be the reason….but I have come across several men.....none of them were courageous enough to bow before a female. Why? This ‘why’ reveals the difference in mentalities between the two most beautiful creations of god….. which would take eras to get subtle.
