Why do women have less value in this society and always refrained from equal rules, rights, and opportunity, someone who has more power is so powerless?
Why do women have less value in this society and always refrain from equal rules, rights, and opportunity, someone who has more power is so powerless?
Sometimes I’m amazed and angry at people who treat women as second-class citizens. They pass judgment on them without knowing her side of the story.
Even worse, “their best hobby,” telling her what she should and shouldn’t do. Why should she put everyone else’s needs or happiness ahead of her own? Why can’t we just see her as a person, just like a man?
Why being a woman is so cursed? In most cases, we are not even treated as human beings but just a machine to work and procreate, a means to fulfill a man’s desire.
The biggest achievement is always highlighted being a good mother, a good wife, and a good daughter, that’s it, that’s all we are.Just a suffix, always in a supporting cast never the main lead of our own life always behind a masculine misogynist whose name should be enough for both of us.
We don’t need a name or even an independent, individually, we are identified/defined by our role or relationship with a man in this patriarchal society.
Why are we women being treated as unworthy of having equal rights!
I am just after the reason why we women are treated as unworthy of having equal rights, same as men even in the 21st century.
Is it because we have a vagina instead of a penis, or that we have been given an extra superpower to create life inside us if we choose to, shouldn’t that make us a bit more powerful or say special than men.
Then why do we have so little value in this society and don’t even deserve equal rules, rights, and opportunity, someone who has more power is so powerless.
It’s so ironic and serious, that if we don’t balance this proportion now then not just us but our daughters and their daughters, a whole upcoming century is going to face the consequences, as we are facing results of our ancestors’ best policy “to avoid, ignore, endure and suffer in silence”.
Raise your voice!
So please raise your voice whenever you can against any and every inequality you have ever faced, no matter big or small, in your home, work, outside in the world, by your parents, spouse, siblings, children’s, friends, colleagues, or even by a stranger.
If not for yourself, then for every girl out there who is facing similar or worse treatment simply for being a girl and is waiting to be encouraged and motivated to speak up.
Let’s show her she is not alone because working together is the only way we can try to make things better for ourselves and future generations, and by raising our voices so loudly that everyone will hear us one day.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
