They said he was his mother’s favorite. But according to his own personal perspective, he was nothing close to being his mom’s pet. On the other hand, there was his twin sister who was almost always given an ear and a shoulder by their mother and according to the son, his sister was his mother’s favorite. I lost you in there, right?
Here’s the actual scenario; assume you are a parent and you’ve given birth two these angelic twins who are of different genders. Who would you give more love than the other? Who would you value more and care about more? A moment of silence… Tik tok… tik tok…tik tok…
By now you must have thought of an answer. I don’t know on what side you’re leaning on. More of a masculine lover, more of a feminine lover or even neutral. But ask yourself, do the side you choose to be in favor both of your children? Does it potray a positive picture about your parenthood or about your humanity as a person? The funny and the scariest thing is that only none or a very small percentage chooses to be neutral regarding genders.
In our society today, a female child is taken care of and shown love more than a male child. Why are such cases so prominent? Why do we assume that any male person can depend on themselves no matter how hard the situation is? Why do we associate hard things , struggles and toiling with masculinity and associate easily acquired ‘treasures’ with femininity?
Back then in ‘our’ days, there reached an age where parents could not do no more favors for their kids. At a very tender age, boys could not be helped with doing their laundry anymore and to make even matters worse, they would not be bought clothes anymore. It was up to them to get a grip on their way of dressing and being clean. Under garments even only belonged to the females. How hard must it have been to see another gender get what you wished to had but your hands are so short to hit the target?
As they say, history keeps repeating itself. Some of us are so gullible to see how different we treat another gender, but there are always eyes that don’t belong to us that are always analysing our behaviors and practices.
Today’s generation assume that men should strive towards getting financial support while women ask for the money and use it as per their liking.
Who even imposed that a man’s money belongs to him, his wife and his family when a woman’s money only belongs to her? It’s not right nor unfair on this male gender. They’re at times pushed too far at the corner until breathing literally becomes an issue. Who is there to air the voices of those who are shaky and vulnerable in terms of gender equality?
How far are we all willing to go to have gender equality within our grab? How deep will we go to find the purest waters that will satisfy the thirst of every gender? How weary are we willing to become to see a male and a female wear the same crown without undermining each other? How strong are we willing to become to set an unbreakable foundation for all genders?
How ready are you to take the first step to gain gender equality? How far can you take us as the male or the female person that you are?
