A Man’s World??? I Think Not. May 17, 2011

Filed under: Uncategorized — Maria Alam @ 10:06 pm

It’s not a story but rather a truth
of a reality; A pretense of good relying on the wrong doings.  An existence of one divided in two parts;
breaking boundaries of how it should be, but accepting faith as it deceives us
in the eyes.We hope for simple; And in the end
get pushed to the edge. It’s a man’s world I have always heard but refused to
believe but today as I perceive things from a closer view, I believe what I
denied to accept holds a truth behind it. A man can walk away with pride at
the end of the light; and she shall hold self-respect tightly. Pathetic is this
shallowness that leaves such a trail. He walks with broad shoulder; she follows
with her gaze lowered. Coming from a cultured Indian
background I am astonished on the realization no matter how far we reach as women,
we are stepped on? Walked all over? And our voices still go unheard? I’ve been
told this is not my place to speak, I ask why? The man above has blessed me
with a mouth to speak from and it holds a voice that is used to be heard. So I
shall speak. How is it a man’s world when a
women herself gives them birth? I don’t wish to hear the excuse of a women’s
creation is concluded from a man’s rib because that does not come to a theory
that a man is any superior. My point is not to vent hate on
this topic but more of a disagreement on such double standard. No matter how
much we progress in the years, why must women have to deal with such hypocrisy? Its true women tend to use their heart
majority of the time rather than their head but the thing is I believe the day
every woman starts using the guidance of her head and over looks her heart,
will be the day where the ignorance of men will be shattered. A man and women should walk as
equal. And more over I think women have proven them self over the years of how
capable they are. It’s not a man’s world. They did
not create it and so they do not own it.

    Excellent maria..you have written on behalf of all we women..Very well written..Good,keep goin on..!!! :-) ))

    :) I’ve told u this multiple times but you remind me of my life 10 years ago. You’ve weaved the complexity of the man-woman divide rather well. And you’ve done it emotionally as well. That brings me to your point that women need to start thinking with their head rather than heart. Although I agree with that stance in a lot of cases, we must not forget that as women, our emotional strength is our real strength. A man is physically stronger and a woman emotionaly. And when a man and a woman come together, they form a formidable union of physical and emotional strength required to form a healthy society, and perhaps raise a family together. In that sense, yes, both man and woman are equal for either gender is incomplete without the other. :)

    you’re on the right track, mlove. Always be a thinker, and speak your mind with the sensitivity and the passion of your heart! :) An unbeatable combination.

    Thank you bhabi. And Roop…gracias my words and writing have been inspired quite a bit by you due to you always encouraged me to fill the blank page with my thoughts. And 10 and even 20 years from now…I wish I continue to write and it always be filled with passion. =]

    Excellent Maria ….keep up the good work :) and i agree with Roop that “A man is physically stronger and a woman emotionally”
    and thats why the pic of life seems complete …cause one has what the other does not .

  6. Maria Alam Says:

    Thanks Rabia! I agree with both you and roop but the unfortunate thing is not alot of people agree with the idea..what we lack they gain and what we gain they lack. To them the man is superior and the women is the follower. Which is completely idiotic due to we should both play a party equally and that is the clear message I want the readers to know of what I believe. But I am glad you liked. =]
