A Generation of Men raised by a Women




Off-late enough has been debated about, as to how you go about teaching men to behave and respect their female counterpart, It is made to seem like the entire male race has lost its claim to the "Gentlemen" title, I see quotes like "Real men don't do this or do that" making frequent rounds in the social media, I think the recent "Male Bashing" trend has really caught on with the female counterpart, we are also talking about the need to empower women, treat them on par with men, eliminating gender bias, they are to be given reservations everywhere because they are women, they now want to do everything that men do, even the fields like combat.previously dominated by men are now witnessing the induction of women, right now I don't think they are deployed into active war zone but in future, maybe they will fight alongside men, These days I see women competing with men on every frontier, be it puffing away packs of cigarettes, drinking or slurring, they want to project that they are on par with the men, now this projected toughness can get annoying at times.

We are witnessing a rising trend where in women executives and managers are making the line up everywhere, which was totally unheard off couple of decades back, this new power also gives rise to a new problem, the problem is their urge to prove their worth, now male subordinates would now not only have to suppress their ego but also frequently get themselves buried under female stampede, if a women were to play an instrument, now that's looked upon as women empowerment, women driving a car was looked upon as an empowerment once, something goes wrong in the society or an untoward incident takes place involving a women, it then calls for "male bashing", a women abuses you and you abuse a women back, it then calls for "male bashing" because society does not allow you to do that to a women, that is so unbecoming a man,if you get hit, you're not suppose to hit back because your gentlemen title does not pave way for that. I mean where is this headed, I'm not trivializing the recent atrocities that have taken place against women but what I'm saying is that, this unprecedented targeting and generalizing is not going to solve any problem, its only going to make it worse, instead of trying to be a real man or a women  try being good humans and try to upkeep a certain degree of humanity or cherish certain human values, that way we can reason with the issue and there by create harmony because we are a generation of men raised by a woman and trust me when I say this for the majority of us, we don't have to be taught to respect, it just comes automatic.
