GENDER RESPONSIVITY~Women's day

 On a much fuzzed manner as I try to rewire my thoughts on Gender neutrality, it struck me with a stark realism. What has sparkled within to give up this Utopia and face the reality??? Marriage.Yes,now I am a married man who has faced 35 days post the courtship phase. Wisely put, my thoughts on Gender neutrality have been rounded off to the nearest possible state which is "Gender responsivity". Saluting the women whom I have had the opportunity to interact and the woman who is my fellow companion of life, I wish all a "Happy Women's day".

The process of Sex doesn't excite me but the underlying current of sexuality does.(read again to get it right!!).

Yet the concept of sexuality is least discussed in the highly selling ‘hormone ‘market.Just like the Grand Unified theory acts as an intermediate to the Theory of everything,sexuality acts as the bridge to the unawakened human consciousness of the whole Universe.Now,What does this got to do with the happily celebrated Women's day?? Read ahead.

The statement "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" can be considered authenticated as no man in the world will be able to understand the myriad emotions and the biological cycles that happens within a woman. I am married man now and I am trying on a daily basis to understand this gifted creation of God i.e Woman.Easily can I empathise the hardships of my best half, but to stand on her shoes and view the world is a chaotic challenge.When deeply analysed I found myself to be a hypocrite as every man in his truest self has been.The moral codes and the ethical standards combined with the socio economic factors have conditioned ‘Man’ to be a dominant species among the two genders.And now, when the barriers get broken by the techno cultural upskilling paradigms, men become really pathetic giving their futile consent to this change of norms. The simple result-A hypocrite man. Henceforth as we celebrate Women's day every year, it becomes increasingly important to become Gender responsive.

Gender responsivity,by the term, I mean here is the understanding of self and the flaws within.Understanding a gender and his/her responses to the changes in the society requires a deep analysis of self.It requires a calm and unperturbed mind to ponder  over a simple question, "What if" ? and "Why this?".When these questions are addressed by every man in this world,will he able to understand him,the society and his companion in a humane manner.The task of such thought is not build on a day and requires a constant trial from both genders.As always, human civilisation has progressed tackling the imbalances in the gender sensitivity and so will do so in the coming decades.So an end note on this women's day, Understand to respect, reciprocate to rejoice and stay humane to survive. Like the saying goes, "A nation is born stoic and dies epicurean",live to learn and learn to live.

P:S: Dedicated to and Wishing the three women who are now my pillars in life. My mothers Vasantha and Lakshmi and my best half Manisha. You make me grounded and on toes. Happy Women's day!!!
