Being a girl....Being glad

So, here I go, on as many rotations around the Sun,as would life permit....but only, differently abled than the clan that supposedly rules this planet-'the male'. How differently abled,is a question to be answered. What makes me, or the rest of us-'the ruled' different from 'the rulers'?I would like to clarify that this is no hate article by one of those feminists out on a cry for women empowerment.Well the myth of 'the ruled' and 'the rulers' was one thing that changed the face of this earth like no other concept did.It has restricted mankind to unimaginably small circles.
Biologically, we were indeed created different with abilities to perform different tasks.But to force each other to stick to a set of things even if one is capable of doing more is to make fools out of ourselves.This not only applies to men forcing women to the confines of four walls but women refusing to accept a helping hand from men in the kitchen;a man who does that is 'unmanly'!This narrow line of thought would never lead the feminists or even the genuine fighters attain what they wish for-women empowerment.
A lot of thinking has to go into the very definition of the term women empowerment. Who will empower us????-the men?What do we want in the name of empowerment?When I consider my own life, I only realise that I have to empower myself to do what I want and that there is nobody out there waiting to offer it all in a platter.I get what I want and what I decide to give myself.Ofcourse, there would be a lot of brandings and calling names in the process.But that is too small a price to pay for what you really want.Sensitizing ourselves,being aware and awake and the very process of being is important.Who can teach us to enjoy life?When we start enjoying our own lives, who could ever make us feel bad?After all, if we let someone hurt us,we probably deserve it.
So the very course that the fight has taken is misleading....let us not fool ourselves.We're not fighting the true enemy...infact there is no enemy,but yeah there are ignorant people;they just need to be given as much importance as their actions deserve.Now the question is,what would our own actions be and not what the reactions would be......Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.It is to be expected.Ultimately,its our responsibility to fashion our actions so that when the reactions occur, we get projected in the direction we want to march.......
