Rise up, woman!!!

Dear woman, I don’t know what you are doing! Figures by the United Nations tell me that even though you are half of the world’s population, you do 2/3rd of the world’s work, earn only 1/10th of the world’s income and own just a meagre 1/100th of the world’s property!!! Of the world’s 1.3 billion poor, you comprise 70%! Of the world’s 1 billion illiterate, you comprise 2/3rd! And you hold only 10.5% of the seats in the world’s parliament... You carry man in your womb for nine months; so that he may later rape you, exploit you??? What is your silence for??? What do you fear??? I was in a busy Delhi market recently when I saw a man offensively brush by a lady in the crowd. Like as if an instant reaction, she pulled the man by his sweater and landed a tight slap on his face... her friend was quick to utter a “very good” and they moved on with their work... all wrapped up within a few seconds!!! Justice delivered... I am ashamed to call myself a man... I belong to the kind who rapes, who tortures, who exploits! I am worthless... I can do nothing for you... Only you can! Because you are the one who gives birth, who nurtures, who cares and who brings beauty to everything... Now, it’s time you yielded the sword!!! Don’t be happy at being sung about by Honey Singh who talks about your “freshness”... Don’t be about your ‘rack’ or ‘hump’... Don’t be a ‘chick’ or ‘babe’... Don’t go to college just to get a good husband... Men have ‘bro-code’, while you don’t; you have ‘bitching’, which men don’t... Stop being rivals and unite!!! Your place is not in the kitchen, but the board-room. Your face should not be behind the veil, but on the cover of Forbes. Your gaze should not be down; it should be sky-wards... the place where you used to be!!! Don’t give all only to looking beautiful and charming, rather, bring out the Durga, the Kali in you and give all to becoming potent and prevailing... (and you know how)
