Gender equality mean only that much?
by Mayuresh on Nov 21, 2005 05:59 PM   Permalink

Does the Gender equality limited to this much. Today also women are not using their fathers last name after their marriage. They use their husbands name for that matter. If a female decide to use her fathers name and surname after marriage, many educated people raise their eyebrows. This need to be changed. This society is male dominating and lots of things need to be done to change it.

Women wear some symbol on their body to show that they are marrie. Men say that this it their tradition. But it is not. It is because of male dominating society. Women fast for her husband but reverse is not usually seen in this society. So many thing are there which need to be changed.

Actually men do not want equality but want to treat female as their servent. Just one decision will not change this picture. A brainwashing of all men is required and that will solve all the problems.
