#MeToo

#MeToo

The impartiality of this hashtag to explain itself to its reader and user is astute. Both, gentlemen and ladies of our realm seem to roughly know what it means. Although, what and how much one establishes post their understanding of the hashtag is limitless. The distress of women being expressed today with or without the #MeToo endorsement emanates from many kinds of experiences and the 'antipathy quotient' of each of those experiences may range from 'daily gang rape’ level in some demographics to subtle objectification based bias by men (and many women too) which is casually cultured throughout the population. In fact, the farrago of insecurities that women live with may never fit into a single shelter of a hashtag. 

"with the waves of feminism now internationally interwoven, one could fulfil a common desperate need of homo sapiens, which is simply to bring back some grace and good will back in the society"

Fortunately though, the ‘fairer sex’ is capable to throw such nurturing light at the ‘darker' sex which is itself capable to outshine this black spot of #MeToo now visible (but always existing). Women, subtly or unequivocally, directly or indirectly, constantly evolve men (and civilization) throughout their lives, as mothers, sisters, partners or even by their mere existence. Clearly then, today when gentlemen (and, obviously some ladies too) of this country and beyond have collectively created an unfortunate chaos of events and ideologies so flawed that hatred and self interest have become global currencies, it may just be time to bring back some attention to that light of reform. Now that the collective best behaviour of mankind is at best unreasonable and many times deplorable, women’s natural power to inspire a better world must take effect. Women have come together in the past for many social and legal reforms for themselves in the society but with the waves of feminism now internationally interwoven, one could fulfil a common desperate need of homo sapiens, which is simply to bring back some grace and good will back in the society. Co-existence is not a negotiation but an interlinked process of growth and a little grace and sensitivity might just help in achieving it sooner and for the better. A nation over-wrought with prejudices and hatred needs just that much to begin with.

"This power of perception of how a woman sees and nurtures the world is probably her greatest strength and also the most vulnerable element in the balance of society if lost."

With a little womanly wisdom (or girl power), this is do-able too. The axiom ‘the power lies within’ is more accurate when applied to people who can create a human than those who carry a few grams of seeds of life. Man’s behaviour is usually inspired by the lens of a woman’s perception. This power of perception of how a woman sees and nurtures the world is probably her greatest strength and also the most vulnerable element in the balance of society if lost. The vision of a nurturing and a more reasonable world for our future generations to grow emanates naturally from women and must obviously be reinforced by the strength that we men are anyways so proud of. If that vision is lost (the way it seems today), it is usually because the vulnerability of the same strength has been exploited. Sometimes by fooling it with an illusion of an already existing better world and sometimes by crushing it to an extent that it won’t affect the balance anymore. Our mere acknowledgement of this vulnerability can overcome it altogether. Women, although sometimes individually victimised deeply and unknowingly too, collectively and naturally are a power with a precise antidote to the toxicity of the world we live in today.

"Both, empathy and fury are virtues women are historically and mythologically known to pull off beautifully."

Humans of this world now need empathy to even begin to reason why and when it is not OK to destruct and destroy to establish one’s beliefs (or economic benefits and more). At the same time wrath and fury against the evil is a known necessity too which demands much deliberation and patience before action. Both, empathy and patient fury are virtues women are historically and mythologically known to pull off beautifully. I hope our generation lives to see the true power of reform that is ‘Woman' and may our future thank us to let that unleash in all its might.

Hitherto, I am just a part of a world which essentially lives on a timer for self destruct because of unreasonable ego and absolute lack of empathy and reason across the realm and I confess, #MeToo.

Your ‘Personal’ is certainly ‘Political’. Let’s talk.

Belated wishes of Women’s day. (Excuse the procrastination because I’m a man)
