Dear Shivani Ji,
Hope you find this letter in the best of health. I am writing this letter in
response to your article I read. "Women's Empowerment" The subject of your
article, which was published on the website "LinkedIn.com" on November 11,
2020, is a hot button issue in today's society. I sincerely admire your writing
skills and the way you convey your beliefs, although I respectfully disagree
with some of them. According to your article, "Women Empowerment" is
defined as eradicating male supremacy and establishing equal worth for
women in society, which strikes me as a pretty limited perspective on life.
Women's empowerment shouldn't concentrate on holding their male
counterparts accountable for their low status in society. Yes, women should
be given the respect and value they rightfully deserve, but once again,
blaming men all the time or denouncing patriarchy won't solve the problem.
Your article says that "women must be guaranteed equal opportunities in all
fields regardless of gender. In addition, they must be paid the same salary." I
think this analogy is very silly because as a business owner you would want
your employees to be efficient regardless of gender. Salary is paid based on
the efficiency or effectiveness or productivity of the employee, not their
gender. The ability to achieve the required result determines an employee’s
income. Equal pay therefore appears to be a fictional concept designed to
further divide society. Think about it for a second, would you hire someone
who is not qualified for the job just because she is a woman? And on top of
that, would you also pay them the same as the actual qualified workers just
because they are woman? Instead, society can focus more on create equal
opportunities for women rather than simply handing it out to them. Another
interesting thing that I want to point out to you is that there are fields where
women dominate more than their male peers and stand out with a better life.
But we've never heard of men demanding equal pay in these fields, have
we? So don't you think it is wise for the men and women of the society to
accept the difference
Voicing disagreement with the statement you stated, “third world countries
like India still lack behind in women Empowerment” along the statement
“women have suffered through the decades they didn’t have any right.” till
late 1920 American women had no right to vote. When India got its freedom,
we didn’t ever discuss if women could vote or not, 1 person 1 vote was our
philosophy. Women Always had the right to vote. In our culture women have
always been reverted and been “devis” until the Mughals came. Indians
broadly accept women as political leaders India has a long history of women
holding political power, from the 1966 election of Indira Gandhi one of the
world’s first woman prime ministers, to other well-known figures, such as
Mamata Banerjee and Sushma swaraj.
In your opinion “women must make their own place in society rather than
depending on men” yes, a woman should be capable enough to earn if
necessary or financial needs are required. But on the other hand, the new
generation complaining about parents not affectionate and depressed teens,
don’t you think the competition between men and women is leading to bad
mental health of children and families getting destroyed? There has always
been a role organized by nature. Women should be respected and be
educated but they should also be proud of being a woman instead of trying
to prove men that they are like them. Giving birth should be something
treated like a miracle like it is of instead of comparing there should be a
mutual understanding and teamwork. women don’t need to make “place” in
the society they created. True women empowerment is not to accuse the
male of their inability. There may have been unfortunate events in past, but
women always had power and control of the house where men had to do
protect and work. In Indian culture when men were sent to work, women
were taught how to handle and control the house basically they were always
the one who had control without them a house or life would never exist.
Men simply existed for slavery and protection.
Your article is truly an influence on many women who suffer from setbacks
and yes you were right where women should be educated and have all
opportunities also make decisions on her own it can be up to her if she
wants to work or not. Nowadays being a housewife is not enough why?
Working is getting more respect whereas building a family you work for and
taking care of it is something women are getting ashamed of. they are
getting overpowered by women themselves; don’t you think? Men are
expected to do many things and understand everything without getting
understood moreover being blamed that isn't `equality’ you talk about is it?
In conclusion I would like to say that women are surely no less than men but
also not more. Equality goes both ways and women empowerment is being
conveyed . in my opinion women should be educated but men and women
are biologically different, and their brains work differently scientifically
proved. There are limitations to equality too. Men cannot complain that
they are unable to give birth so women should accept the fact that some
things are biologically impossible.
