“Respect Women” – Why? And For what?

           When any person says that, “you should respect a woman” we always agree with that without thinking reasons and facts behind this phrase.

            If we ask for which reasons we should respect a WOMAN?  The obvious answer would:

- For being a woman

- For giving birth to child

 -Playing a good role in house as well as in society

 And we should respect her for being strong against man.

Really is it so? Only these are the characteristics of women? The answer must be ‘No’.

          Woman is much more than beauty, cooking, housekeeping, giving birth and all that things. She is beautiful because of her physical structure, she knows cooking because she forced to learn that, she is caring about her house hold works because she has seen her mother doing that, and she is able to give a birth to child because of her organs and as far as Genesis is concern her ability is because of curse!!!

After being aware of these facts, how can we respect woman for all these reasons?

Is she only a caretaker? Is she only a piece of beauty?

           She is a woman, not because of all these abilities but her identity is far better than this. We do not need to say respect man, because we all respect male identity in world because all have one common mentality that man has a power and he is the one who can rule over the universe, while women is only a support for him, for giving birth to his children and taking care of them but that is not the truth.

          Feminism always fights for the identity of females, and supports the role of woman in society. If we see feminism differently it is also supporting a gender rather than person. Why should we support females in the world and why we should respect them, because they are weak and cannot fight for their rights?

So the question is what are the rights of women?

To have freedom for doing what she likes,

To have an education which she wants,

To wear the dress which she wants,

To marry with the man she wants,

Have job in the company she wants...

But are these things possible?

Most of time it is not possible, we are living in man dominant society and rights of men are...

Father has rights on his daughter,

Brother has rights on his sister,

Husband has rights on his wife,

And the son has rights on his mother.

              We can also change the word ‘rights’ with ‘control’, All this because of women have got a habit of living in such manner, though she is the owner of house and the only earning person, but she has fixed her mind to obey her father, son, and husband.

              Respect cannot be constructed by gender it comes with the personality he or she has. So we should not insult any woman by giving her respect just for one reason that she is a “WOMAN”.

             It is not any competition where women want to prove that they are better than men; the only thing is to stop those who continuously underestimate the female identity. We all know that there are so many differences between both male and female; they cannot be equal anymore but the only thing which creates equality is rights of freedom, a girl deserves same freedom which a boy has and our culture have to accept this.

“Respect the struggle and achievements of a person and not the gender.”
