“Women”
This term also has “Men” in it. Does that imply as Without-Men or Wow-Men!!
I am not seriously trying to decode the term but just wondering, Men & Women are intertwined and co-related. Without each other their existence was impossible. This might sound a little vague but definitely a fact!
So while both these species are just a form of “Human being” having come to this earth as individuals to explore and evolve, the world seems to mistakenly “Exploit” the other.
"For most of history, Anonymous was a woman." ― Virginia Woolf
Sadly but truly this was the case earlier and even now though the world has developed and technology rules, the world is being ruled by women personalities, few unprivileged ones live anonymously.
But not to forget this Anonymous specie “Woman” is the most devoured and ogled at every time she walks by the opposite sex. Be it anywhere!
No one can deny that, though existence can be anonymous but the existence of a woman makes life worth living. A workplace may be boring with all men around and imagine the offices with only Martians in well scented, well groomed & well built personalities moving around. The motivation to even dress up well would not exist with any beautiful Venusians around.
Women are as equally competitive, rather more efficient, and ambitious, good decision makers at every workplace, possibly since the trait is inbuilt or inherited. Growing economy, improving mindset towards education, career development, rising expenses, changing lifestyle, demanding workforce etc has given up on the narrow mindset towards the idea of “woman’s place is in the home”. Women have paved their way in today’s workplace.
Everyone marvels at Hillary Clinton, first female Secretary of United States; at Indra Nooyi, Chairman and CEO of PepsiCo.; and at Facebook India Head Kirthiga Reddy, Chanda Kochhar, MD of ICICI Bank and many more, in the last 3-4 decades have made their mark in their respective fields.
No matter how much progress women have made, they are not close to getting their share of the leadership roles in any industry anywhere in the world. There is so much more that must be accomplished for women. Despite everything that has happened, we still don't have true equal pay and we still don't have equal access to jobs, especially those in traditionally male-dominated fields such as math, science, and technology.
So, while we can look back with pride on the accomplishments of women before us, we must also look forward with determination to break down the remaining barriers that limit women's opportunities.
Give a woman the respect, space and support to grow and see the leaps and bounds she would cross to make this world a worthwhile one to live in.
