It is and will always be a man's world

Is setting limits to women’s talents, skills and leadership

qualities not our bias and prejudice against them? The cliché ‘It is and

will always be a man's world’ needs to be changed now! It is all women’s world

now! Suspecting women’s power sounds discriminatory. It smacks of male

chauvinism.

Gloria Steinem has

rightly said: “A gender-equal society would be one where the word 'gender' does

not exist: where everyone can be themselves.”

Women are perfectly suitable for any sport, adventure, exploration, and

any field. Women have already proved their mettle all spheres. Space

exploration, research and development, science and medicine, politics, financing,

management, education, and whatnot, women have set higher standards than man.

The world has been dominated and led by men so far. Under

their reign, the world has gone through many wars. Women were never given the

freedom to have their say in the administration of national and international

affairs! The question arises: would the world have been a better place, if

there were more women leaders in the past? The women by nature are calmer and

more staid than men. They would have found peaceful solutions to the conflicts

that caused so many wars. There would not have been world wars, if there were

more women leaders in Europe, America, and Russia. Women deserve a chance. Man

has had his! He has failed miserably. Let’s give the women the turn to run the

world. They will keep the world as spic and span as they keep their homes with

the caring industry and motherly responsibility. Under their care the world

will become one big family, devoid of wars, crimes, greed, and avarice. Let’s
empower women for a better, brighter, and more peaceful world.

In the Rio Olympic Games, it was a woman who saved the

nation’s face by winning a silver medal for India. The entire nation was

wonder struck at the feats of Kalpana Chawla, the famous American-Indian

astronaut. She left a deeper mark on the minds of Indian youth, especially the

girls when she died in the Columbia Space Shuttle accident. The Indians were

amazed at her talent. So they realized, Indian girls could do wonders, provided

conducive environment be given to them. Since

then girls' education has been given much importance to. Indian women have always been
exceptionally talented. They

have contributed equally in bettering the society since ancient times. However,

their recent success stories have been quite impressive! Kalpana Chawala,

Sunita Williams, Mery Com, Sania Mirja, Saina Nehwal, Sushmita Sen, Aishwarya

Roy, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, the list is endless. The Indian women

are stunning the world with their extraordinary talents. They have left men far

behind in the field of academic excellence. At schools, their performance in

examinations and other co curricular activities eclipse boys. There is more

number of women teachers. Even in other fields such as politics, industry,

defense, space exploration, and research and development, they have made their

presence felt. Recently first batch of women fighter pilots was commissioned in

the Indian Air Force. All these are positive indicators of what they are

capable of. Well the future is really very bright for them.

It is matter of great pride that many women scientists are

project leaders at ISRO and DRDO. They have successfully led many missions into

space and missile test fires. ISRO has

brought unprecedented laurels to the nation by its successful Mars Mission, 104
satellites launch in one lift-off, and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch

Vehicle-Mark III (GSLV-Mk III), on 5 June 2017. Women such as Ritu Karidhal,

Deputy Operations Director, Mars Orbiter Mission, Nandini Harinath, Deputy

Operations Director, Mars Orbiter Mission, Anuradha TK, Geosat Programme

Director at Isro Satellite Centre have played pivotal role in this humongous

success. So women must come out of the four walls of houses and kitchens and

take an active role in spheres. Who knows with their coming out of the four

walls of houses is directly related to the establishment of permanent peace,

prosperity, and progress of the world?

In conclusion it can be said that anyone who thinks ‘it

is and will always be a man's world’ is either ill-informed or is biased. The

facts tell a different tale. The present and the future belong to women alone!
