The discussion over the subject of comparing men and women to each other has been going on for a long time. Society always tries to evaluate both men and women on the basis of various aspects or factors that they find appropriate. And it always ends at the same point when men are superior to women. We always teach boys that they are better than girls, whether we are doing it explicitly or indirectly, but somehow we have given them this expression, not that they are both equal to each other.
It has been a long time and is still happening. The man always tries to prove his superiority over the woman, even if there is a dispute between the man and the woman. When a girl is not well educated, people say things because she does not have intelligence and is not able to teach her children either. But on the other hand, when a girl is highly educated and well established, people see her confidence as her rude attitude and say that a girl should not study till now. And this thinking needs to stop. Mansplaining has to be stopped.
No matter how much any woman tries to get respect and appreciation of the society, it has always been the same story. Women are known to be more emotional than men. Showing feelings is not bad, it does not make a person vulnerable, but men perceive it as over-reacting. During an interview, Taylor Swift, a well-known singer in Hollywood, said, “There is a different vocabulary for men and women in the music industry,” when asked to give an example “when a man does something, it’s strategic. One. The woman does the same thing, it is calculated. A man is allowed to react. A woman can only overreact. “ she said.
A man does not care about emotions while trying to prove his superiority and how his words or actions can affect women. Women have been fighting all this for a long time in every part of the world. They have broken and fallen repeatedly and always come back strong.
These days women are working hard to fight all the battles and stains that others are giving them, defeating them with their knowledge and skills and have a smile on their face which shows their confidence and their strength and their belief that they are not less than a man.
