The Feminist in me

This is my  first attempt in blogging … I don’t  know if I am doing the right thing but I thought I could just give it a try . After all what is the harm in trying out new things!! I guess being a little experimental does no harm .Today I had my English semester exam   where in I was given a topic “working women do not have time for their children.” I was asked to write supporting and opposing this topic. I personally feel that what I had written opposing this topic had brought about the feminist in me. This is how I began…

 

    It is undeniably true that working women do not have time for their children. What I basically feel that a woman is also a soul just like a man. She was not born in this world to become only a mother. I t is true that  a woman becomes a wholesome soul after her child birth as she almost gives up herself for the new life she is creating that is craving for its  existence .But she is also, yet another soul like a man and is bound to have her own desires ,aspirations and expectations for  her life . The starting point to achieve all this in her life is her career. When asked to give up her life for a life that is yet to be shaped just seems too unfair. So as I was thinking of a solution for this issue first thing that popped up in my head why can’t a man share the upbringing of his offspring along with his wife? A marriage between a man and woman is successful only when each of them give up a part of themselves in order to interweave their lives. So why can’t a man give up his time for the life he is equally responsible of? So when the couple take turns and share their responsibility in the upbringing the child will be blessed with the mother’s love as well as the father’s guidance.  The reason being that, predominantly in the Indian society a father is always considered

  A strict personality and is always away from the reach of his children.  But when such a scenario is set up the father can also be the kid’s best pal. I feel it is fair because when a woman financially supports the man why can’t a man morally support his wife? This brings about a balance in environment where the family is both financially and morally supported by couple. A family that is both financially and morally stable would be the best place for child to bloom into a beautiful human being that she/he is destined to be!
