Women seek 33% Reservation, Not 33% Respect from Men



Women have been always shown Respect in the Indian Society,You will  know the real sense about this when you see the social position of Indian women.It is sad that even today the number of dowry deaths and all kinds of harassment on women are so high. Last night i have gone through  a news channel where it telecast about a dowry harassment victim.Due to the un-fulfillment of demands of dowry, many women die at the hands of their in-laws.Can't we do something about this 
A Survey has reported that one day the growth rate of crimes against women would be higher than the India's population growth rate, and this has become true at the present scenario. you wonder with your level of  distress  when you list down the crimes against women,Sexual harassment,dowry, Child marriage,Female infanticide and sex selective abortions,,Domestic violence,trafficking.... From my personal experience I know that  harassment is wide spread in every sphere of life in India, including each and every sector. If you venture out in public life, in more competitive corporate career in India you can expect a far worse situation.i have never seen any young women in  India walking freely in any public place, public transport and so on..... Everyone in this world is on some kind of guard.

To understand the impact of sexual harassment or the other crime on women, one must listen to the account of its victims as no  one conveys the meaning and truth of sexual harassment better than the woman who have endured it. what kind of emotional response does eve teasing / sexual harassment evoke in you?? 
A question wanders in my mind, will men respect women in general?? Do men pity women in general, because of our vulnerabilities?? or Do men have a certain hard -to- explain admiration for women at times and pity other times? what can a woman do to get and earn man's respect  in most cases? a Lot of men speak in a condescending way towards and about all the women... Men view women very   differently than themselves. that difference in view doesn't mean that they don't respect women(or that they do either) it is just different!!

I have seen many women who pamper their sons a lot and discriminate the girl child, which finally lead their sons  to be a male chauvinist. Good Parenting will solve all the social problems......

P.s:  I am not supporting women here, i am just trying to keep the respect for them
