The beginning......

             

I come from a society where birth of a boy is celebrated, overly excited parents organize a big event and invite useless family members and waste their money, time and energy.

I mean how does it matter if it's a boy or a girl, you gave birth to another life, isn't it a big enough reason to celebrate?? 

Well NO, in my society it's not. If it's a girl it's a sign that the mother will have to bear another child, nothing else!!

And we talk about equality in THIS society. There will be no equality until  we stop crying when a girl is born. You never wanted her in this world, how the hell you will treat her equally, when she will always be a sign of her parents loosing to the probability of having a boy. She was never the first choice even on the day she was born and this fact remains with her parents no matter how much they love her.

The regret of having a girl is always there with them and that regret in her parents's eyes makes her the weaker sex. She will always feel the burden her parents felt. We make our girls feel lesser, we make her feel she is unwanted in this society.

I find it funny when a guy says- "I respect women but so many of them are not willing to respect themselves, they don't think they are capable enough to compete with men". Who made her think like that??? Why don't we see a guy's mind wired like that?? 

The answer is simple, next time you hear a woman say that, It's YOU, who made her feel and think that way, every element involved in our society made her feel that way. 

She was never given a chance to build a personality, she's been busy proving her worth and begging for approval from the society.
