Why is the respect Women deserve, still missing?

A woman is not an object. She is not something; she is someone. You treat a woman with respect. She is not your toy. She doesn’t owe you anything just because you are a man. When she comes to you for comfort, you listen to her; you don’t make a move on her. Grow up and start treating women how they deserve to be treated.

How does it even feel to be eyed as an object everywhere you go? I mean you’re just not a person anymore. You are what you look like. Wherever we go, we see a bunch of boys standing, checking women out, they just start eyeing whenever a woman moves around them. Some just look, some whistle/comment, some wave and at worst, some get in their way and harass them.

So, why do these boys/men get they can do anything they want, to women, with women? Why can they look at them, make them feel bad about themselves, embarrassed? Where are all the values, respect, dignity these guys should possess? Being a Guy, I’ve seen boys discussing female bodies openly and proudly, “Bro, check her out”, ” Bro, check that *** out”. “Bro, check out that fat b#$%@” And it’s an endless list, I’m ashamed about even mentioning these.

But the question is why? Why doing this is so normal for them? Well, let’s dig.  There could be many reasons. One of them is the way they have been brought up. Parents have no idea how they impact a child. When they need to tell and teach their children equality, treating each other with respect, accounting each other’s emotions. In some homes, mothers, wife, sisters aren’t just neglected, they aren’t respected. And that’s the root of their comfort in disrespecting woman. If a guy sees the male members treating women disrespectfully, he will do the same because that’s what the elders in the family do.

Well, it’s not just a male thing. Believe it or not. I might sound chauvinistic, but even if you’re ill-treated, girls, you adapt “And still you’ll hesitate to tell him, won’t you? Why? Because you’re a woman? Is your destiny such a small thing then? To keep your legs open and your mouth shut?” Let’s talk about the next thing, women need to become aware and stronger. They need to know what’s wrong. They can’t just sit back if something which isn’t comforting mentally, happens. They need to realize that raising their voice will not only help them get out of their miseries but also give power to their girls to become stronger.

Women have been taught that, for them, the earth is flat, and that if they venture out, they will fall off the edge.

Men are going to think that they can do anything with her because she won’t react she’s not bold. Believe it or not woman, India is changing. People are getting intolerant.  We all can recall incidents where woman fought back and they received immense support on social media. Women told us that it is not right to touch her inappropriately, it is no right even for a woman to insult and harass her publicly, it is not right to physically or mentally abuse her and she won’t bear with you if you are inhuman.

Humanity is not dead, yet, girl. Everyone will understand and fight back with you if you’re brave enough to fight the wrong.

 Don’t shut yourself up in a bandbox and don’t believe you are weak because you are a woman. Teach the boys how to respect and let’s teach the girls to fight for the wrongs. Also boys, the next time your ‘bro’ asks you to check out a girl body parts. I hope you don’t look at the girl and just smile at him. Because then the next time he might feel ashamed and stop objectifying body parts.
