21st century women are the WOMEN OF TODAY. Unlike the olden days women were kept in the PARDA SYSTEM and SATI was practiced. Today women are worshiped. Men and women are treated equally, well almost. Many places like offices, colleges and work places women are given a separate reservation and women quota because they too need to be there in the society. But do we really need reservation for women nowadays. Women seem to be more educated and smarter than men these days. They stand at power with men. In fact they are gone way ahead men. Women are now doctors, engineers, Pilots, Captains, IPS Officers, CEO, IAS Officers, gym trainers, mechanics and principles and so much more. Who would ever believe that women in India were formally told to be in pardas? Women are given special rights.
Women of today no longer prefer being dependent on their husbands. No matter how rich their husbands or fathers are women want to work now. Working outside the house is the new thing for women. It’s that women find it very KOOL to work outside. It’s just that working for an organisation or any other place outside makes you independent and confident. A woman gets a separate identity. Just like how men have an identity of their own, women to have felt the need of having their own identity in recent times. Women of today are much more confident and smart in the work that they do. Formally men were called the “bread-winners” of the family but now women do it. Women work for their families and take care of their family.
Women of today know how to multi-task. They work at home and finish off their house hold chores. They also work outside in an organization. Women not only in big organizations but also the ones who work as paid servants at our homes. They too have an identity, they may not be managers at their work place but they earn money and out of their own hard work contribute to their family. That’s the beauty of today’s women. Women work all over the world but India specifically has seen a huge contribution of women power. There are so many rallies on women empowerment.
Women ride scooty, activas, bikes and even bullets. Heavy vehicles that were considered to be a man’s machine are now women’s passion. Women are at par with men in so many aspects. There are so many women who are passionate about bikes and about riding fortunately I am one of them. For such women there are so many biking clubs opened such as ‘bikerneers’ and there so many biking clubs who would love to have women riders in their gang of bikers. One of the biking club that I know is “THE THROTTLE TWISTERS”. It is this biking club that are passionate about roads, bikes and riding, they have a few female riders. It is fun to see so many women moving around with bikes and men sitting behind. Although some men feel that they become less manly while sitting behind when a girl is riding the bike, while some love it. Some of them really appreciate and like it that they no longer have to alone ride there is someone who can match up to the skill that they have. If men can be good cooks and chefs why can’t women be good bike riders?
Women of today embrace life and live with a dignity. They too have a self-respect just the way men do. They too have a morale and to need to be recognised. Women contribute a lot to the family and the society in general. In the corporate world women are being encouraged to work as women can contribute a lot more than men. They have a different idea and a different perspective about something. All men may think in a similar manner but women think differently. Something’s that men don’t know and women do may help the corporate world. Most women know how to bargain they may be good sales managers and may be able to crack a good deal with the help of their bargaining skills, economies of scales is what they call it in the corporate world.
Underestimating women is like underestimate in a crocodile that’s sleeping at the shore. You may think he’s sleeping but you never know if he wakes up he may eat you up. As funny or as harsh as it seems it is the bitter truth. Women bear up such a lot of things. They go to different and difficult situations only to grow stronger. Men think women only know to cry but when women really comes to terms of showing what they really are you may be surprised and may curse yourself for instigating her. Such is the power of women.
Women are free to dress up the way they want too but some perverts just don’t get this point. They look down upon women and pass comments at them at their looks, body, figure etc. Women don’t fear men any more although there are strict laws made to tighten the safety of women. Women are much more sensible and strong enough to protect themselves. Women no longer need men. Many women don’t marry because they believe in living life independently. They have a life of their own. Women no longer are considered liabilities but in turn are assets to the country and especially to the families in which they are born. Mahatma phule rightly said educate a women educate a family, he proved and believed this statement as well as practiced it as women are the ones who educate their children and the children further grow up to be individuals. Such a great personality realized this in the olden times and his thinking has encouraged women to be literate. Women can be the best teachers as they teach their children, brothers, sisters and neighbours what is right and wrong. Thus women of the 21st century truly are the women of today.
