The latest Vogue video starring Deepika Padukone has already created some upheaval in
the social media and why it should not?
After all it talks about one of the most sensitive and important subject
in the country .As our honorable leader of opposition Mr.Rahul Gandhi says
“Our prime Concern is women empowerment”
Since time immemorial, various civilizations across the
world have treated women as the weaker sex. From Chinese binding women’s
feet to judge their beauty in 10th century to a super girl Malala
Yousufzai being brutalized in 21st
century for education. Women have seen
the worst times.
I personally believe that human emotions are like a mechanical
spring. “The external force might succeed in suppressing it for some time, but
as soon as the spring gets a chance, it will bounce back and it will bounce
back really hard and strong in an uncontrolled manner”
The modern women have started fighting for her rights and
freedom and this is one of the brightest omens that we can witness today. But
there is a fine difference that separates empowerment and armament.
When there are two lines of different lengths. There are two
way to make the shorter one equal to the longer one.
First way is to address and fight for real issues like
domestic violence against women, a girl’s right to choose and pursue her dream
career, give her freedom to choose her life partner and having an equal say to
come out of a toxic relationship with dignity, equal opportunity to rise at
workplace based on skill and many more issues under the sun. It slowly but
surely increases the length of the shorter line. This is empowerment or
feminism for me. It can be worked out and accomplished mutually by both the sexes.
It will help both the sexes develop mutual respect and love for each other.
The second way is to go out and
blatantly shout “It’s my way or the highway”. I will oppose anything and everything
that this stereotype patriarchal society opposes in order to establish my superiority and satisfy
my false womanly ego. A fake freedom to prove that a woman also has the same rights
to commit the same mistakes or sins that a man does. It shortens the longer line. This
is sexism for me. It might promote equality but it will surely lead to a
chaotic and unstable society. A society with mutual hatred and competitiveness.
Its Your Choice to choose which
way you want to promote and achieve equality.
`
1.Its Your Choice to
wear whatever you want
But I would personally choose not to wear a pair of my
football shorts to my office because I feel it’s always decent to dress according to the occasion and the crowd
until the crowd has slowly evolved enough over the years to accept the change.
I would rather choose to dress classic and look suave than be raunchy.
2.It’s your choice to
be size zero or size 15
But rather than flashing my bones or my beer belly I would
rather choose to have a healthy body. Being healthy never hurts.
3.It’s your choice to
have sex before the marriage or outside
the marriage.
But I would personally choose to be loyal with someone whom
I have vowed to be my life partner.I wont cheat on you because I know it will hurt me if you cheat on me.
4.It’s your choice to
love temporarily or lust forever.
But I never met anyone who fell in love with someone with an
intention to love temporarily, neither did I. Although the flames may smother
down with time due to incompatibility, but you never chose to love temporarily,
it just happened.
To lust forever???
Yes its your choice, but I am not really sure whether it will be your
choice if you end up in a psychiatrist’s clinic, a sex rehabilitation center or
in worst cases behind the bars.
5. It’s your choice
to love a man or woman or both.
Nobody has a choice in it. It’s something as natural as
being a left handed or right handed person. Just be mature enough to not hurt
someone’s unconventional love inclinations.
6.Its your choice to
come home at 4 in the morning.
Yes it is again your choice. But being a brother, father,
friend or a lover, I will always be worried about your safety until unless I am
assured that you are in a safe environment.
7. It’s your choice
to have my baby or not
My 10th standard biology teacher taught me that
sexual reproduction of human beings requires two opposite genders, so my common
sense tells me that the decision to raise a baby or not should also involve
both the people. Grammatically speaking, it’s not “your” baby, it should be our
baby.
8. Your pleasure may
be my pain; it’s still your choice
But as a human, if I know something that I do will cause you
pain, I will choose not to do it or at least try my best to not rub your
wounds. But again it’s still your choice.

“Whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging
inside us, we always have a choice. My friend Harry taught me that. He chose to
be the best of himself. It's the choices that make us who we are, and we can
always choose to do what's right.”
Well to conclude, I know it still ain't the best time and
women empowerment has to go a long way. But trust me, Chivalry ain't dead. There
are still many gentlemen in the society, I have met a few and would love to be
like them. Blaming every man won’t help
the cause.
“It’s not a war of superiority, it’s a revolution for
equality”
