Break even for All

Gender inequality has been an issue of great debate. The present scenario tells us that the time has changed and western culture has become popular in various parts of the world. It is good for some reason and a problem too. Talking about the most diverse nations like ours, Indian modern cities show a lower inequality based on the gender however if we go back travel to small villages the old tradition is still followed where the females are responsible for household work and the males are head of the family, the decision takers and also the earners of the green paper.

In the modern cities, where the females have started to compete with males has given rise to a new problem which is the growing difference of respect and household responsibilities between the generations. Since the females who earlier used to stay at home and do the household work have joined the work outside home, they expect that their mother-in-law and sister-in-law would handle the work at home which increases misunderstandings and spoil the relations. This is spreading like a disease and causes families to separate, making them nuclear from joint families. Washing clothes and other household work on daily basis is a tough job and women should be supported by men at all times.

Currently there are two scenarios existing in the society, one where people are so narrow minded that they don’t allow women to work outside the home, they don’t even consider education for girls important at all and want them to learn household work and get married as soon as possible. The second situation is when the girls have got proper education and they demand of doing a job and society allows them but then born are social issues like dependency of younger generation on the older one for all sorts of small household work.

If we deeply think about both of them then we can understand that both of them are dangerous for growth and humanity.Things would be alleviated when every younger generation would feel responsibility to complete their own tasks, that day we would understand the importance of each other’s life and that would be irrespective of gender to make this world better and a peaceful place to live life. I hope you all; my readers would understand the motto of me writing this and help me by joining the hands together to elevate the level of humanity in this world. I wish male population may become more sensitive and help their wife in completing the household chores.

Equal Work for All

In this modern world, both men and women are considered at par with each other. Women have been increasingly stepping into men’s fields and work areas, while men have also started to take work at home and raising kids as their field of expertise in the new modern western world. The notion that men work outside and women work inside the homes is getting blurred day by day. But still the situation is far from being satisfactory especially in the Asian countries, where children especially those in their pre-teens are still dependent on their mothers and sisters to help them through their daily chores. They are still fed by their mothers and not by their fathers.

We are still into the habit of depending on our family members. Children usually call their mother first and father later when they need help. Since the birth of the child, it is mostly the mother who is taking the responsibility of the child, to make him or her grow up and to nurture him or her well.Laundry is not just a woman work but men should also wash off their clothes or help their partner in it.Males at least get a day off in the week, but a mother’s or a household wife’s duty is without any break even if she is ill or even too tired to get up, she will be walking away to the kitchen to ensure her kids and her husband don’t go hungry to school and work. All of this hurts to see when no one realizes the effort put in by the lady of the house. From getting up first in the morning to sleeping the last, late at night, she is the one ensuring everything is done properly in the house.

We all should help our mothers and sisters in the household work, to reduce the load and burden on them. We should respect their contribution to the running of the household, as without their contribution everything in the house will just be in a deep mess and no one will be able to function properly. When efforts are recognized and appreciated then everyone feels respected and worthy and one gets motivated to do the work more effectively. The males should also help whenever possible and they should also devote their free time in-house hold activities to share the responsibilities of the females. It doesn’t make one less manly if they do house hold work instead it increases the respect for a person by seeing the respect and appreciation he has for his wife and her work and contribution towards the family.
