Surrounded by Men

Women and men collectively complete their world; both are immensely obligatory to make a better place for each other, to shore up each other, to walk together and progress and to discharge the gap which could surmount in the absence of anyone of the duo.

The existing state of affairs of women empowerment shows and reflects that they are not less than men in any field and are showcasing their talents all over the place. We have lady doctors, teachers, authors, actors, politicians and so on. Way back in history when the female counterpart were taken as the weaker gender and were constraint in the four walls of the house have now been out ranged and have honed up their undeniable skills of multi tasking, creative and intellectual mind, which overshadows the biasedness towards the men.
In our society where men rule and are towards the broader population when it comes to successful counts women have stood by side and given equal competition. Living in the world where men rule and building up the personality is unquestionably the mark which women have achieved. From Rani lakshmi bai’s brave revolution against the firangs to Indira Gandhi’s phenomenal persona and Hilary Clinton’s remarkable victory which lets her more than just being Bill’s wife but a unique identity. There are several others like Katharine Graham, Caroline Moorehead, Kiran Bedi, Sonia Gandhi, Agatha Christie are just a few to name in the list which can just go on and on.

In spite of the issues that we confront whether at the work place, the society, the family, that men could be the biggest obstacle in a woman’s growth and also can be the most supportive depending on the mind set of the individual, with personal experiences to remember and jot. I feel there are three categories of men who treat women respectively in a different manner:
Type A : men see a woman as a extract, totally disregarded, having a very high attitude towards the inclined gender of theirs….

Type B : consider women as a benchmark for purity and honesty…
and very few of them consider them the same human beings as they themselves are… and I classify them as type C…. amidst a humongous number of type A people a woman find herself secluded…

Like wise the nature goes that I would not go wrong If I take the example of honeybee hive where the Queen, the lady bee takes the entire charge and the males play the aspect of the drones.

Life for a woman to grow amongst the men with their ego and testosterone high is conceivably one of the biggest confront, as learning, improving, honing up skills and multitasking is just another work for any woman but up-beating and keeping a pace with the male ego is perhaps she needs to learn and grow. Considering the fact that today women manage the home and office amazingly well in spite of the fact that they are the physically weaker counter parts but her working hours are the same as that of a man adding on to which she manages and keeps a family, where again a man would be leading one, owning the authorities and setting up few or more expectations with her.

Women entrepreneurs, renowned personalities, women from the entertainment, sport and fashion world including film stars, fashion designers and sports personalities have all succeeded in the places where men were already there as competitors. These ladies have overcome the rules, the myths and surpassed all the constraints which limit their destiny within the four walls of house. Their alluring charm and charisma makes them the most popular women around the globe and persons deserving everyone’s respect. The phrase ‘beauty with brains” truly comes alive through them. Women have made name, fame and money for themselves with their hard work, diligence, competence and will power.

A man comes up with his attitude of being superior over the female, of the feeling that he leads the family, of the grudge that the position what he beholds can not be shared with a more sensitive, emotional foil at the work. They come up with the belief that beauty and brain do not go along, we often come across the male satisfying there shortcomings with such kind of thoughts and those are the one who count the female as less talented and capable when it comes to perform a lucrative job, a creative performance and reaching a remarkable position. Nevertheless, women have always proved all these wrong.

There are often long-established attributes that are assigned to men and women, says Madeline E. Heilman, an expert on workplace sex bias and professor of psychology at New York University. It’s unanimously accepted that women take care of others and nurture, while men are seen as taking charge and being assertive. The problem is, she says, when we map these attributes onto the workplace the male attributes are much more sought after. “I call this the lack of fit,” she explains, because the perceived attributes of women don’t fit the leadership mold. “When women succeed in areas they’re not supposed to they are disapproved of greatly, by everyone, men and women.”

This is perhaps the everlasting battle amongst the gender but with time whether its man or woman, all understand that the capability of a person is specific to individual irrespective of the gender. Women are beaming up with their talents amongst and amidst the men population. At several work places the cases of sexual, verbal or non verbal harassments have come across, and with the number of women heading towards the professional life, such cases have only increased, but indeed, the more they are educated, learned, they understand what can protect their vulnerability and how they can keep a pace with this world and shine with their glare.
