Well...am a boy and my parents had pretty much the same restrictions for me as they did for my sisters and i see no harm in it, But i do see many of my friends facing this problem, they are typecast, like 'tomboy' for a girl whoikes ot play soccer, raised eyebrows when you spot a girl smoking etc. i think we need to grow-up.
ReplyDeleteSmoke is everywhere....! I grew up in a village wherein menfolk can be seen smoking those days. Somehow, I too joined the list of smokers. Enjoyed it for more than three decades. Now, got rid of the habit, somehow.... In a Metro like Delhi, these days one can see many girls/women enjoy smoking OR giving company to the smokers! Is it because we had been talking about equal rights to women?
ReplyDeleteAlthough, we, the Indians, have learnt to copy some of the attracting cultures from the West, even if it is not matching with ours. Indian society is yet to grow to the standards of those part of the world, where women can come out of their house at any hour and will face less problems. Until our society is grown to those standards, we have to wait and obey the orders of our elders, so that our girls are safe.
ReplyDeleteA disciplined life is necessary for every human being irrespective of gender.As far as playing with barbie dolls is concerned and keeping girls away from bat and ball,it is certainly a discrimination and not at all protection.
ReplyDeleteParents asking a girl child to stay indoors at night or asking them them to be back home on time is not discrimination at all. Even a boy is given the same advice because of the society we are in. Only when the mentality of males in the society change and when they start accepting women not as intrument but as an individual,we should obey our parents .
ReplyDeleteAfter all safety comes first.
I think our law should be more strict and come forward to give protection to girls so that girls will enjoy more freedom..
ReplyDeleteI stay in singapore and i see so much freedom for girls.. Here girls can go out and come home late alone in taxi.. even i dont mind going out late night but in India i think 10 times before stepping out night.. If law is strict than girsl will not face so much other problems like dowry, discrimination..
And now girl is not behind they outshine boys everywhere.. and we need to accept the way girls are coming forward but many cannot accept the fact as ours is a male dominated society..
I'm not really sure about what girls are allowed to do and not allowed to do in India because i grew up in Thailand. well, in Thailand the girls hang out at malls, restaurants and clubs late till night and their parents know nothing will happen to them. i know that in india girls really wouldnt like to go out for late nights. but even my parents over here dont let me go out for late nights with my frnds.
ReplyDeletewell... I don't think its discriminating to girls. Its like the place like India is itself so dangerous that even day time is not safe now a days, leave alone late nights. And we very well know the police n judiciary system here too. Its best to take precaution regarding these matter for both boys and girls.
ReplyDeleteWhile discussing this issue we should not forget that we live in India...a country where,unfortunately,the crime rate against women are ever on the rise.
ReplyDeleteA certain amount of restriction is necessary for the safety of girls which is precious to every parent so we cannot really call it discrimination but ya if parents get over-protective and start using their concern as an excuse to force their choices on the girl...then it is discrimination!
but this is not a happy scene!....WE need to make India safer!....much safer!....we all have to work towards a time where there is no such scenario of over-protection and a girl in no form is considered derogatory!....that is what will put an end to the evil of discrimination!...and the only way we can achieve it is to do our bit!....work to sensitize people and respect women!
