MISBEHVIOUR WITH
women employees is often heard these days. I have a notion that this is because of the lack of professionalism on their part. This may be due to the fact that everyone wants to earn money at all costs. This is the outcome of too much consumerism. Contentment is lacking. Now the two genders, so different in their qualities, are supposed to do the same job even though they are not fit to do so.
The role of
women she should be to take proper care of her household, children and other family affairs. Now when she is working she gets very little time to look after the family and children. The maidservants are raising the children. Do we ever think that whether it is good for the family? The affection the child gets from the mother is manifold than what the child gets from a maidservant. The very caressing of a mother of a child is enough for emotional, mental and physical growth of the child. The other side of the picture is that the inputs given at this stage to the child will be equally reciprocated. So the problem prevalent right now where elders are not being taken care of properly will also be resolved.
Family is the basic building block of society. Good families make a good society. There used to be a natural bond between child and mother and which gets stronger and stronger as the mother takes proper care of the child. Moreover the child’s psyche is developed mostly in its first five years. So if he or she is nurtured with love, care and affection in his/her formative years it will make a good individual in future and shall have happy memories of childhood. Sometimes even the children don’t get that attention from the parents that they deserve.
For working
women it is very difficult to create a balance between career and familial responsibilities. Here to overcome this problem I want to make a suggestion. That is there should be two different curriculums for the two genders during the schooling years. In addition to education for earning bread and butter, girls should also be taught how to take care of the family, children and household and should be taught how to make a very positive and congenial environment at home.
Now the basic qualities of the female gender are withering away. I have a belief that
women in general are gifted with more tolerance than their male counterparts. Now having performing the dual responsibilities she often fails in her pursuit and start equating with her life partner and looses her inherent trait. Being by nature supposed to be at home and enjoying the congenial atmosphere of the home, when subjected to the harsh outside world her strongest quality of care, love and affection also dries out.
The problem with non-working
women is also the same, as they emulate working
women because of their higher position in society than those who are not earning.
Often the issue of empowerment of
women is raised by many activists. Does empowerment mean position and power in society? I beg to differ on this point that
women who are taking proper care of the household, children, family etc. should also be duly respected in the family and outside and others too should be encouraged to inculcate in them the qualities of a good mother, good wife etc. It is truly said by a Hindi poet Jai Shankar Parsed "Nari tum keval shradha ho" (A
women is a thing of reverence). Right now the need of the hour is that the basic good qualities of the fairer sex should be admired and respected, otherwise we will have only one gender living in two garbs.
