Societal norms for women at fault
               

ever thought of how difficult it is to be a women in this society? All our life we are being told everyone is equal and so does the constitution says, irrespective of the gender. But how far it has been practiced in personal lives?    If we go around and ask people, most of them will claim that they treat their son and daughter in an equal manner. But do they really? If they are considered equal then why sons are allowed to do late night parties and daughters are not? Why daughters are expected to learn household works along with education and sons are not? Why there is a constant pressure on daughters after a certain age to get married while sons are allowed to give their career first priority, no matter how long it takes? These inequalities might not be intentional but these are taking place at a wide scale.  It’s not our parents fault only but the whole so called societal norms or mentality set up is at fault. Whenever a women's rape case takes place, why her character is being questioned first? How wearing short clothes does justifies rape? Why are women being asked to wear appropriate clothes rather than people teaching their son to learn some respect for women?  Why women are made to feel shameful when on periods? Why is it treated like a disease when it’s just another natural biological function! Barring a woman to enter in a temple when on periods is something unacceptable.  Why a woman is pressurized to have children just after marriage? Ever realized she might not be ready yet? Or she might had some other things scheduled first? Why a woman is expected to obey her husband no matter what he says? Are women slaves?   Being a woman is not less than being a superhero. A woman is fighting and struggling on every day basis and still not complaining. Even after all of this women are considered weak?
The society needs to change its norms and to bring such a big change, one needs to start first from its own family. Give your daughters power to make decisions for her life, encourage her to do whatever she feels like doing and give her equal freedom as you give to your sons.
