I believe time for everything comes, a little unannounced and abrupt mostly. Same I think when issue of gender equality comes to mind; that its time is also coming, and more and more people are getting sensitised about the issue.
May be I am right as well in having this opinion, but some incidents push that hope on the back seat.
The post contains some explicitly offensive words so please excuse for them.
a. One fine day ajit was going to Delhi through a shared autorickshaw. As is usual, it was jam packed except for one seat on which a woman in her 40s, wearing a little dirty and old dress, apparently from a lower class came and sat. The space was less so her hips were squeezed between ajit and another man.
The man was already in disgust seeing that woman. And when out of necessity and no choice, the woman sat and pressed with the adjecentpassengers, the man said "ye g*nd lagaake baith gayi"... it was unbearable to the woman and she stood up and the sat on the floor of the already occupied autorickshaw. Ajit wanted to say the woman to not sit down and let the man tolerate whatever he has in mind. The man was succesful in displacing the woman from an equal status. And the woman, she accepted her situation, even if she had anger about theincident. She did not say a word to that man.
Ajit felt bad, but did not do anything because the woman would not come up and sit, he assumed.
b. Its a story of a region majorly containing middle class families, mostly associated and remaining in touch with their ancestral villages.
One night, rahman was having a party with his college friends and while returning from the party Venue, it got late and stretched to midnight. Rahman and his friends hired an auto to the college.
On the way, a woman in western dress appeared along with a man. The auto driver immediately exulted by saying "ye dekho sir chikni ch**t ja rahi hai"
It got rahman puzzled at what the driver meant and afterhe understood, wanted to slap the auto driver and abandon the ride.
These stories are,even if not true(but they're) baffling to imagine in a society which aspires for gender equality.
It is agreeable to consider the difference, only in some aspects, and that too not universally. But inspite of differences, why not be sensitive to a fellow person and let the environment be of all round peace and tolerance.
