their existence is not accepted....



Women, born as a female sex with only difference than male is her reproductive capacity, that means women can bear children in their bodies which men cannot and for that as Kamala Bhasin d says we are very sorry for the incapability of men. But even with extra capacity women/girls are discriminated from womb to tomb. Anyway if she makes it to enter this world even after the sword of gender feticide the gender socialization starts on her, oh not only her but the boys around her. Well, you need to develop someone with superiority complex to treat her as subordinate. She starts to become girl/woman from a female. An authoritarian sexual orientation will starts, way before she knows what or for what she is being trained and she will be one of the vital pioneers of that, i.e. the Patriarchy.



World is divided into two, inside the house and outside the house. Men are supposed to deal with outside of the house and earn money and women turn that money into living and deal with inside the house. So, boys get education, technical skill and girls also get technical skill. But the technical skill for boys and girls varies. Boys gets technical skill which are mostly targeted to get job and earn money and girls, their technical skill is to deal with household i.e cooking, cleaning, care taking, managing household needs, raring children and seniors. It would have been all happy happy living if the story is limited to this much but in reality this is not the end. There is power relation and power politics everywhere. Human enjoy power exercise. Whoever it is if s/he gets power they enjoy exercising it. So, inside the house appointers and outside the house appointers also have power relation and the question is who is more powerful? who is in the position to take control ? who is superior and who is inferior ? these questions always play hard. In the power relation of inside the house appointers' i.e women and outside the house appointers' i.e men, who is superior and who is inferior? who will have the control ? Then this patriarchy concept which gives control over the elite men to dominate and rule over women and poor men set a structure to institutionalize it to make sure every woman/girl and poor man/boy grow inferior and rich/powerful men grow with superiority complex and make sure that the power will be exercised.



So, in today's context which is in the transition phase with several feminist movements, this patriarchal structure is being challenged. And the system of inside the house and outside the house role division is being challenged. Women education is one of the priority issue followed by women empowerment and their engagement in earning money. But women who are working and earning money now have to fulfill double responsibility. Women now have to do their traditional household jobs which are not paid and the job outside which are paid. But whether it is from personal level or state level those unpaid jobs which women/girls were/are doing from ages are not recognized yet. Basically, these unpaid works are not even recognize as work. If you ask someone about his/her family and continue with what his/her mother do? If the mother is a homemaker they will say she does nothing. Very simple isn't it which proofs that those unpaid works are still to get realized and recognized. Okay now if we see in state level, any mention of these contributions in GDP?? Easy it's NO. But it is not EASY for women who are doing these. Imagine you work your ass off and your boss or company even does not recognize your work. Can you say it's fine and continue to perform your best. Your work does not get recognized that means you and your contribution did not count at all. That's the exact situation women are facing. Women's work are not recognized...women and their contribution do not count ....hence their existence is not accepted.



Imagine a day without a woman and their contribution........is it possible. NO right? then how come it is possible that their contribution is not realized and recognized ? Don't you think it's the high time to acknowledge women for what they are contributing from ages?
