Men have failed; let women takeover

For billions of years now the world is in existence and man has reigned supreme on the earth since the days of Adam and Eve. Till date, male domination, male chauvinism and male worship could not be replaced by saner thoughts. Women are exploited the world over; eastern nations cannot boast of their male dominant characteristics because there are many skeletons in the western cupboards as well. In all the fields of human endeavors women have proved that they are equal to (or, even better than) men. But they have been denied their rights to rule the world and manage its affairs with prudence. The fairer sex does not want to build up a castle on the rudiments of fiascos created by man. She only wants a chance to pro herself. We can explain how man has lost his turn to rule.

The world has been ruled by men for long, and just one look at the state of things today makes one feel that they have played a poor part. They have failed to fulfill all hopes of making the world a better place to be in with the passage of time. The world today is ravaged by war and disease-and many other disasters created purely by the efforts of men to achieve more than they are capable of. It is a world showing symptoms of a dangerous kind, of things that would only destroy its well-being-the global arms race and the proliferation of nuclear weapons, a fast depleting ozone layer and other environmental hazards created by men at the helm. It is high time that women take over the reins although it would be a world of bleak prospects that would fall to their care.

Man has valued women’s abilities as a mother, sister, wife and friend. But he has not allowed her to take a front seat amidst chaos. That is what today’s women wants, the power to take fruitful decisions. She is exploited every day and blamed for most of the vices man possesses. Man himself is corrupt and will not allow her to dominate him in any walk of life.

But we would be forced to change to our decisions in the present times. The list of the stronger sex is infinite. Global strife is a major outcome of mans machinations. We would not find a single corner of this earth that is free from kind. Why? Because it’s a man’s world Further, men lacks compassion and empathy when he managed homes corporations or nations women is more compassionate than men. She loves the creatures of the almighty that men love to hate. Finally, women are practical and keen to solve the problems. There are many in this world, which were created by men himself and need urgent remedies some others are a result of the natural genesis of the human race and man should be blamed for those. But problems ought to be looked into and solved. Man is not able or willing to catch the bull from the horn but woman is. Problems like poverty, illiteracy, hunger, education, transportation, global polity infrastructure development, etc. demand pragmatic planning and strict implementation tactics. Lat women take the reins of the horse, now that man has applied his brain to most of these riddles and failed to solve many of them.

What makes women fit for the role is their mettle. And this has not been derived or nurtured in an instant; one can trace it to centuries of oppression and suppression that have nevertheless relentlessly demanded many things of a woman. She has never been allowed the security that comes of belonging-when still a child, it is her duty to submit to the wishes and demands of her parents and brothers at home, and later in life it is her duty towards her husband and children that is of the utmost significance. But to begin with, she has never had a single home! First it is her parents’ home where she is expected to feel fully secure. And once she comes to feel that she belongs there, she is shifted to her husband’s home which alone from then onwards may mean everything or anything at all to her.

Patience, forbearance, calmness of temperament and nature-all these and much more have been demanded of her at all times though, in reality, she has only been exposed to conditions capable of fostering the very opposite of these qualities. The male of the species may waver, be irritable or even act according to his whims and fancies; but women must always be controlled in their thoughts and actions and virtuous to the core. And the reason why she must be so? For the sake of the stability of the home and the well-being of the family-as if the man had nothing to do with the home and family! Such double standards have coerced her to submit and adjust without any concern for her own wishes and aspirations in life. But she has put up with all these for centuries in a stately manner without being adequately satisfied in return.

Ironically, aeons of denial and sacrifice have nurtured in her all the qualities she proudly possesses today and which have established that the females are superior to the males. The qualities that belong to the modern woman prove her mentally stronger than men when it comes to facing the deep realities of life. It is a scientific fact that girls mature earlier than boys do.

Many may doubt the true emotional and physical strength of women. It may be argued that after all she is physically weaker than men and is the first to break down under emotional duress. Such contentions do not take profound realities into consideration. Were women in truth as weak physically as some portray them to be, would they be able to undergo all those physical pains involved in childbirth not once or twice but again and again? And anyway, how much has physical strength to do with running the affairs of the world”? There are a lot of emotional complications involved in child hearing, child rearing and other biological functions restricted to the female sex. These are, however, a part and parcel of a woman’s biological life. Nevertheless she successfully copes with them viewing them as such and at the same time has other problems to deal with in the normal course of life. What more is required to prove her emotional strength? And, by the, way, tears are just a way of expression that women are prone to more often than men. It, in no way, indicates any emotional weakness but rather unburdens the suffering mind so it can feel relaxed at the earliest and concentrate on clear thinking. It is only by suppressing sorrows and tensions within the breast that a man opens himself to long-time anxieties that may ultimately consume his mental and emotional strength.

During the past, Razia Sultana, Bhikaji cama, Sarojini Naidu, Aruna Asaf Ali, Indira Gandhi, vijay Laxmi Ppandit, Rita Fariaand other great personalities tried to build their societies or nations . Helan Keller, ingrid bergman, Margaret Thatcher, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hapburn and others were the key women of the west. All of them had excelled in their respective work arenas. In the modern times, Arundhati Roy, kalpana chawla, Medha Patkar, Tasleema Nasreen, ArunaRoy, Shobha De, Justise Fatima Biwi, P.T. Usha, Shiny Wilson, M. Kunjurani Devi, Priyanka Chopra, Aishiwarya Rai and others proved their critics wrong. In the west, Mdonna Rice, Mariah Carrey, Germain Greer, Julia Roberts, Jacqueline Susan, Ellin Collins and other women gave their best to the world.

The strengths and capabilities of the modern woman are such that she can accomplish everything that men can. She has also now after centuries learnt to appreciate her own qualities and assert them. As a result today there is no area uninfluenced by her advancing strides. Around the world women are proving themselves capable of activities in any and every field to which they were denied access for ages. It is especially the women of the Western societies who have excelled themselves and have even overtaken their male counterparts in many areas. But women from other continents though lagging behind have equal potential in them. It is just a matter of time before they prove their potential.

It is to be remembered that even today discrimination against women is rampant at many levels and in various spheres. It is the unequal treatment still meted out to women, sometimes by women themselves that is proving a hurdle to their total dominance in many realms. In a society as that of India, many traditional beliefs that degrade women are still given importance. Development of women’s status in society is hardly given the attention it deserves. But they have beaten it all to emerge with added strength and vision.

It is only when women come to govern the world that one can expect its glory and abundance to be saved from total extinction! This world can be managed in a better manner by women, if the male ego is not hurt. We should give them a chance to shape a better future of our race, the habitat as well as the mother earth. Man has been given opportunities for centuries but problems have multiplied during his rul. Let women take over. It is our sanguine opinion that she shall transform his earth into a paradise.
