I might be or should I say, I am the happiest wife having a husband
who is almost perfect when compared with the husbands of my other friends. He does
everything for me, helps me in household work, in cooking, washing, supports me,
encourages me to do and learn new things, appreciates my good work, guides me
whenever I am wrong and the list goes on.
Whenever I discuss with my friends, they tell their hubby don’t
like to do this or that, Or don’t like her doing certain things. But I don’t think
I need to compromise anything because my hubby allows me to do whatever I want. In the end of the discussion, My
hubby is the best always.
But, Did you notice the word “ALLOWED”.
Why allowed? Am I his property? Am I his servant? No.. Then
the word should not be allowed, then what it should be?
I hope many of you being a girl/Lady must have felt that
even if your hubbies are world’s best husband, but at some point of time they
are only Man & you are Woman. And because they are man, they are superior
(that’s what they think & somewhere we also believe this to be true), you
have to do certain things which they want you to do. (Doesn’t matter you want
to do or not)(Not necessarily always, but most of the times.)
I am not sure, how many of you have heard this from your
husband..
“Be in your limits.”
“I have given you so
much freedom.” And blah blah stuff
like that.
Did you ever think, who are they to give us freedom? (obviously
in indian culture “pati to parmeshwar hota hai”). But do we at any occasion say
these stupid sentences to them?
Not really.. (Why? Because
we ourselves think they are superior and they are supposed to take all the
decisions not you.) (Might not be 100% true). We just listen, feel hurt and
leave/ forget it.
If your husband slaps you (I hope it never happened with
you), you feel hurt but later you forget it because you don’t take it on your
ego. But if by chance vice-versa happens, then What?? All world goes upside
down.
When we talk about India, girls are supposed to do so many
things, but what about boys? No expectations from them? I am not saying that
boys don’t do any work or they don’t help us. Of course they do. But….
If a girl does those things, it was expected from her and if
a boy does the same thing, he has done a great job. (Here, I am talking about
working ladies specifically.) Don’t we
want to be appreciated if we cook one time meal? But we ourselves think that we
are born to do this.
Whenever we discuss about our hubbies and if someone says
that my husband helps me a lot or he does this or that for me. We all say “ what a husband”. But what if a boys says same thing about his
wife in his group. Do they also appreciate it the same way as we do? NO…
Similarly, when it comes to in-laws or our own parents, they
rarely tell you how much you do for them. Your parents only will praise their
son-in-law if he does some work and if you do the same work. Do you get the
same appreciation from them? NO…
There must be thousands of examples for this. But why am I writing
this? To show how much are we exploited? Or we are not given equality? No, none
of these is the reason.
My main motto to write this was, whatever a man shows or
even if he changes and start doing everything we do or start giving you the
same respect and same value what he expects for himself. The feeling of being
him a man, a superior person will always be there. Somewhere deep down in their
hearts and time to time we will keep on feeling the same.
MEN WILL BE MEN.
Yes, that’s true. I am not asking to start a fight against
men. What I want to say is start feeling that you are no less than a boy. We
all know that, but we never feel that. We are equal and whatever we do, we
should not allow others to take it as granted and don’t let them feel that we
are made to do this only.
I am not sure, How to end this. I didn’t want to blame man
as they are not only the culprits. We are. Because we gave them a chance to be
superior to us.
That’s it. I hope, it was not that much boring..

It's all in our upbringing dear. We are programmed to accept them superior and it's high time we should change.
Have you ever thought of it this way - "women will be women!" Sadly our upbringing helps us think they way we do!
Men will be men... :D
