It is, indeed, perhaps the strangest paradox of our time to see that women who constitute half of humanity on this planet earth are still crying for just and equal treatment along with their male counterpart. Since time immemorial and still today, women have been treated as second class citizens or at best expected to play the second fiddle to men best fitted into the subservient roles as their mothers, sisters, wives et al. Women have never been seen as an equal partner of men. A woman has been viewed merely as a powerless object best suited for satisfying men’s lust and carrying out the job of procreation. They must, therefore, shut their mouths and open their wombs. Worst still, such inhuman and uncivilized practices have been bestowed with ‘divinity’ of religious scriptures which ‘virtuous’ women are expected to obey and whose ‘disobedience’ warrants strict punishments to the protesting ‘sinful’ women!
