According to the Oxford dictionary, ‘Women’s Rights are the rights that promote a position of social and legal equality, of women to men.
According to the Oxford dictionary, ‘they are the rights, claimed for the women, equal to those of men, as regards to suffrage that right to vote, as regards to property, etc.
‘Modernizing according to the Oxford dictionary means, ‘to make modern, to adapt to modern needs or habits
And according to the Webster’s dictionary it means ‘to make modern, or to give a new character or appearance - e.g., to modernize ones ideas
In short, modernizing is a process of updating or opting for the betterment of the present status itself - It is not the present modern status itself.
Can we modernize ourselves, to master our problems, and to realize a new way of life, for the whole human race?
I am not concerned about the modern ideas, the conclusions and the categorical statements made by scientists and inexperienced armchair experts, as how a life should be lived by a woman.
I am going to base my conclusions and considerations on truth, which can be proved by experience.
Experience and unbiased factual holistic analysis, are the sure test, between the gold of truth, and the glitter of theory.
We have to check our thinking against reality, otherwise many a times, our mental process will go astray - Indeed the great brains of one time, believed that the world was flat.
