Where The Women Are “LESS” ?

It’s been since time unknown, we are debating who is stronger, powerful, capable etc between men and women. This is a worthless cold war.

It’s been since time unknown, we are debating who is stronger, powerful, capable etc between men and women. This is a worthless cold war.

Reality is, it’s hard for some people to understand, BOTH ARE EQUAL.

Yet today women are under the domination of men. They are still unable to rise from the bog of male world where men are the rulers.

The myth behind “She” and “He”

I read it somewhere, SHE has HE in it, hence women are incomplete without men but it can be other way round too, HE is taken from SHE, so men too are incomplete without women. So conclusion states, both are dependent on each other.Then why the male predominates? Why they get the privilege to decide what they want to do and women are questioned when they do the same?

Talking about the present scenario, women are equally fighting as front liners, be it in the hospitals to treat the needy, or going in to the hot spot areas to collect the samples, from maintaining the household in this difficult time to cleaning your city without a holiday. Yes, women are everywhere sometimes like a hidden angel guarding you or like a superwomen fighting for you.
