Disturbed thoughts since the BBC documentary and another news abt similar incident. What are we celebrating? Sales, offers…discounts….
Not everyone might agree with this..but these are my thoughts..
There is more to women’s day...and womanhood, isn't it? ...BigB posted asking this thought provoking question "Woman's Day..?? A single day dedicated to women? But a woman dedicates every day of her life !!!.....”. True, why is one day dedicated to women?. This day, is needed very much for some people atleast who need to know that there’s more to womanhood than their perverted thoughts, low level thinking or being silly. There was one silly status FB update msg today from a well-educated man, says "To all the girls and women. When u leave him free he comes back to you and love u more than ever. Men act tough but deep down they need a stable companion who love them. Happy women's day. Go for it girls and BE the one you want to be." ,.... what is he trying to convey?... is this about him and his own convenience?. We are talking about being the change and if an educated person’s thinking is this level then imagine the others?. To the contrary / contrast, Desmond Tutu says, “Girls and women, you are precious and we ought to do everything in our power to ensure you can be all you can be.” and this is the level of support women need. Not just saying ‘be the one you want to be”… how are you as a fellow human being helping her to ‘be the one she can be’?.
Never to forget - We are also fortunate to be surrounded by some really really great men around us (respect!).. who constantly help “her” be the one she wants to be - the Mr.Mom’s, great mentors, well-wishers, colleagues, friends, family... – they support/celebrate every woman in their life each day. THANK YOU! to all those men.
WOMEN’S DAY! Is not about sales, discounts, offers … its not about giving her a day off… it’s that one day to remind, review your level of thinking to recognize and respect (at the least) womanhood.
