Why India is still presenting male dominating culture

:idea:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl Govt. Can try passing some law sections especially for this!!! lol....

To be on serious note! its impossible to change the society in over night.....Lets sow, the equlity in coming generation.....!!!

 

Even though you are right in parts, but I won't say that the laws have not changed anything. Laws about marital rights, domestic violence and dowry have given a power to women that many of us are using.

There was a time when a wife had no choice but take the abuse from her husband. but today, the domestic violence laws are so strong that a woman just has to call police and the entire family of the husband goes behind the bar.

All a raped woman has to do is to stand in front of the stand in front of the judge and testify against the culprit and no power in the world can stop him from getting convicted.

The problem is that Indian women don't have the guts to take their life in their own control.

 

These are the reasons I could think of:

• Value for individuals is lacking in general
• Bad Upbringing
• Low Education
• Greed
• Low Morality
• Irresponsible father/mother

If we stress "Respect for Individuals" when we bring up our kid and the same is stressed in their education , we can definitley see a good India.Also, every father/mother should be a role model for the kid.Kids learn very fast from us.

 

India does present male dominated culture, but its not just in India. All throughout the world, its only males who dominate the world.... Women do have powers but its extent keeps changing. Even though in India, women are weaker than men, but their condition is much better than women in Iran, Pakistan or other such countries..

 

well as rightly pointed out....... male domination exist throughout the world....... but in western countries.... women do have right of individuality and are self-independent...... while in india... most of them are dependent on their male counterparts for some reason or the other.... most of it being social......

we come across so many cases where women are suffering/ they are tortured but they still stick around or the sake of society, their financial dependence, their children, emotional weakness, and there can be loads more in the list.......

yes certainly the torture on one female is not just by males..... there are females responsible for it too..... that is y we have MIL-DIL wars, DIL-SIL wars and all........

but sticking to male dominance....... i dont think any law can bring about many changes.... we already have so many laws in place, ages/ eras back ppl have worked so much on women liberalization and betterment..... but it seems it has not worked as it was ought to be....... loads of laws are already in practice but seems so less working in reality due to our socio-political conditions......

the only way i think this can be achieved is through awareness....... i often feel that women has taken steps ahead and started to think more self-independently...... but men have yet to match the pace of women...... when it comes to working women...... indian men still (considering more total view of the country n not just few regions) have to come to terms with the fact and let their women work..... laods of ppl have so much restrictions.... so called 9-5 job or part times.... or this profession or not.......irrespective of what the aspirations of thier woman is!!!! i have often heard saying loads of my male friends saying to me - y do u need to jo the job at all (....thy have got nothing to do with me... and i dont think thy hav a right to comment so....), they are in same range of salary as mine...... work in mnc's...... but i quite dont understand y the question at all....... is it their complex that we gals might perfrom better than them or its just their mindset that y shd gals work, in which case i fel education have done no good to them, their mindset is yet so orthodox..... many of my male colleagues/ friends dont want their wifes to work... god bless them for being straightforward on their desires so that their prospective wives know that in advance rather than other frenz of mine who do say they want a professional gal but jsut to boast it to their friends n relatives.... wen it comes to thier working they refuse.......

thats jsut one side...... in family yes its often the male who is the decision maker..... seldom are the wives even asked for opnion or more so even made aware if a decision has already been made..... (i am not talking of few of us who have moved out, or face differently more so for being in better modern families...thank god for that..... but m talking of the masses here.... where i have heard this kind of complain so often)

truely these things have to be taught to children..... and what they see is often what they learn.... the men today needs to understand this so that thy can better make the kids learn, for the things to change in longer run...... i dont say this is totally their fault... but i guess thy have more responsibilty.... y so... for most of the women want changes but they cant get much of results as men are not ready for it and indian women bend thier desires for the sake of family more often and in general.... so the onus lies more on men shoulders!!!

 

Hi

I feel that it mainly due to women themselves. It has been deeply inculcated in us that males are superior to us. In reality it is not true. If we try to act differently, the first person to admonish us would be another female.. could be mother, MIL, sister, SIL ...

The mindset of female should be first changed rather than that of males. They would automatically follow suit.

This is my take and not intended to offend anybody.

I believe India is going through a transition phase not only in economy but also in social justice. Women, especially educated women are started to be independent and standing up for their rights. It is a good sign, the dream of great tamil poet Bharathiyar!!

However, this transition also comes with its own challenges. India being a male dominated society for a long time, the current generation of both men and women are confused sometimes to understand what is self respect, independence or their rights. Sometimes they exaggerate the situation, refuse to listen to the other side, impatient and absolutely no tolerance. The result is, what you see in matrimonial columns .... more than half of the advertisements are for divorcees .... Why? Is it because of dowry or spouse abuse or intolerance or lack of compromise between husband and wife? It could be because of all the above but most importantly, I believe it is because of economic freedom!

How will we change this or should we even change this? No law can change these things. It is for the younger generation to think about it. They should think beyond themselves, think about their kids and their future. My advice is to look at life as a marathon race not as a sprint.

 

Because Indian men are pigs.... They think that every woman, who's not their sister, daughter or mother, is a sex object. They think that women should stay out of their way and not talk unless she's spoken to.

This attitude of Indian men is the reason behind almost every problem in our society,

 

I take offense to this comment. It is very rude to generalize men or women like this in a public forum.
