Respect women! This is what women want the most. All they need is a change in perspective.
With changing times, everything about women empowerment is moving to financial independence. All the organizations and missions aim at working on women but what about changing the attitude of the men? Why are they always put on a pedestal?
When it comes to the financial aspect, both men and women have to work equally hard to achieve success in sectors like Corporate, Public and Academia. But, if you really think about it, how much support is given by the men to their partners? How many female leaders have you seen on top of the hierarchy? Very few!
Have we ever thought about the ‘why’ of this? Often, reliability is one of the major factors. When you give power to a woman, somehow it becomes difficult for men to be under her because everything gets scrutinized and is under the microscope.
A woman in the work field is many a time bullied by the so-called society as well because as a woman you are always expected to be answerable.
“Your husband is earning, what is the need for you to work?”
“Oh, she only seeks her career… takes no responsibility towards home.”
These are some general statements that come from every corner of society.
If a lady doesn’t want to have a child, her age gets questioned every time as if there is no role of a man in that. And what is truly obnoxious is that women only ask such questions to other women.
For these people… get a break, get a life! Can’t you look after your own life rather than having an interest in others’?
Even in the office, there is always a question mark on the woman’s capability. Will she be able to do it?
Doesn’t anyone see the courage of the woman and the adversities she faces?
Again when it comes to skills like driving, women are questioned. From traffic police to male members of our so-called patriarchal society, all of them says, “Oh God! It is a lady driver so beware of any mishap that may occur.”
I am asking why there is a question on female skills all the time? Don’t these people think if a woman is not strong enough then she won’t be able to keep a child for nine months in her womb?
If a woman is not strong enough, then she won’t be able to multitask between work and home. If as women, we are not true to our own selves, then there won’t be an ecological balance as well.
Respect women!
This is what women want the most. They don’t seek empowerment platforms for chasing and pleading for her identity. All they need is a change in perspective.

What I loved was how there is so much in the movie of the SRK we have known, and also a totally new star. The gestures, the smile, the wit and the charisma are all too familiar, but you also witness a rawness, an edginess.
When a movie that got the entire nation in a twist – for the right and wrong reasons – hits the theatres, there is bound to be noise. From ‘I am going to watch it – first day first show’ to ‘Boycott the movie and make it a flop’, social media has been a furore of posts.
Let me get one thing straight here – I did not watch Pathaan to make a statement or to simply rebel as people would put it. I went to watch it for the sheer pleasure of witnessing my favourite superstar in all his glory being what he is best at being – his magnificent self. Because when it comes to screen presence, he burns it, melts it and then resurrects it as well like no other. Because when it comes to style and passion, he owns it like a boss. Because SRK is, in a way, my last connecting point to the girl that I once was. Though I have evolved into so many more things over the years, I don’t think I am ready to let go of that girl fully yet.
There is no elephant in the room really here because it’s a fact that Bollywood has a lot of cleaning up to do. Calling out on all the problematic aspects of the industry is important and in doing that, maintaining objectivity is also equally imperative. I went for Pathaan for entertainment and got more than I had hoped for. It is a clever, slick, witty, brilliantly packaged action movie that delivers what it promises to. Logic definitely goes flying out of the window at times and some scenes will make you go ‘kuch bhi’ , but the screenplay clearly reminds you that you knew all along what you were in for. The action sequences are lavish and someone like me who is not exactly a fan of this genre was also mind blown.
Recent footage of her coming out of an airport had comments preaching karma and its cruel ways, that Samantha "deserved her illness" because she filed for divorce.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu fell from being the public’s sweetheart to a villain overnight because she filed for divorce. The actress was struck with myositis post divorce, much to the joy of certain groups (read sexist) in our society.
A troll responded to Samantha’s tweet, “Women Rising!!” by adding to it “just to fall”. She replied, “Getting back up makes it all the more sweeter, my friend.”
Here’s another insensitive tweet by BuzZ Basket showing fake concern for her autoimmune disease. “Feeling sad for Samantha, she lost all her charm and glow. When everyone thought she came out of divorce strongly and her professional life was seeing heights, myositis hit her badly, making her weak again.” Samantha responded, “I pray you never have to go through months of treatment and medication like I did. And here’s some love from me to add to your glow.”
