An Urge to Teach Men Chivalry
An urge to teach men chivalry
Today, we are living in an extra-modernized era totally engulfed by the western culture, seems like we are preety much advanced in the race and now can we be called a “cool” nation. Then why are our general mass, both young and old, still such uncouth and uncivilized to harass women of our country? Why do women still need to face abuses and barbarous attitude from men of our country? Why? Few days back, I was taking a stroll to a friend’s house and I had to hear few offensive comments passed by some guys at the road. Enraged and exasperated, I stormed into my friend’s place. I was wondering why men today don’t bother to show the respect which women deserve. I was actually having a brainstorm in my head out of extreme fury, that is when my friend’s mom came up to me and asked me what had happened. After hearing the incident from me, to my utter surprise, she told me it was petty enough to react to such things because she believes it is quite natural to happen with girls since we are “girls”. As if, it is a crime to be born as a girl and since you are a girl, you cannot help facing the criticism from the society every now and then. And sad but true, it is a matter of regret that most of us today, tend to believe such unfair theories.
I cannot stand it when women face discrimination and are treated as inferior to men. Women are not just mere objects of sex, but they are equally capabale of making a mark side by side with men. Men and women are not competitive, rather complementary to each other. And ergo, my intention to write this article is not that I want it to be regarded as a tour-de-force view, but to draw the attention of today’s men to chivalry.
What I really want is to get rid of this present pathetic society of male chauvinism and make this earth a healthy place worthy of living!
