Women Raise Our Voice .
“ I am a woman of colored glass
Through whom passes every changing with colors
I am the woman of NO One
And perhaps I am not even a woman.”

It is high time for women to mute and meditate,-to listen the inner voice in solitude ; to follow and flow with Nature who nurtures more than billion years this living world , great and small, including the quintessential form of human being as whole.
Nature protects her creation with the immense power of patience & tolerance , defending the catastrophes of Tsunami earthquake , flood and fury of volcanic eruptions.
* Women are backbone of society and bedrock of nation; As pillars of the family and community they are significant contributors to ensure long-term overall progress and bring Stability. They bring unique emotional connection which is precious , not only with the fellow beings but, even to the pet animals and plant in the garden.
It is historically proved that in the primary stage of family bonding of Clan life , most societies of the world were matriarchal . Because group of women and men lived under certain leader of the clan. There was no identity of individual father. All the children were recognized with the name of the clan-leader.
But the children were close and attached to mother as only women have the power to give birth by dint of having wombs and children survived by the breast milk of mother . The children grew up under the care of nurturing mother Naturally children had greater emotional connection with mothers.
In those days Women group were powerful as they have the power of producing babies . Fathers were unknown to the children. Women were adorable in society viewed as contributors to produce babies . So they need not to raise loud voice to claim rights.
With the progress of civilization, women gradually lost power . Men had greater physical power. The then society was based on the principle of “Might is right “ Thus Inequality of physical power imbibed immense mental strength to men folk.
Secondly, agriculture was the first step of civilization and beginning of downfall of women’s, enjoying from previous position
Women as mother had to stay home for bearing and nurturing babies ; they contributed less than men as labors in the economy.
Thus men as father became the bread earner while women’s role was primarily taking care of children and husbands; to look after the comfort and peace for home.
Thus a natural wall between women and men rose, dividing the roles between women and men.
As men turned to be abuser [following the adage ‘Power corrupts’,] women were treated almost like slave , deprived of social justice. Then they united to revolt . The brave black American women played crucial role to raise their voice to make the weaker section to be spirited Courageous.
*Female bravery Changed their destiny in every sphere: financial , political , social .
Through positive activism they won rights of vote ,equality in education and jobs, divorce , ending of slavery and dictatorship .
They became eligible of leadership; elevated from dikey to the driving seat .
*From 1860 to 1960 is the glorious journey of women victory . They bridged between radicals and regulars to make the world better. Names of Lucy Stone, Matilda ,Audre Lorde , Angela Davis , Elizabeth , Simone , Betty Freidan , Gloria Steinam are memorable in the history of feminism .

Now it is time to assess the women’s achievement. Is this achievement aims at holistic social welfare for humanity?
While the external material prospect had prolific progress ,the inner state was not the same. Women lost the balance of outer and inner state of life .
Birth-control pill was invented for the good but implemented in wrong way .It weakened the plinth of marriage –institution. Women lost chastity. It supported extra-marital relationship. For the job women have to stay long away from home,
neglecting children and house. It was hard for women to manage the house –affairs meticulously with the pressure of job.
From the last part of twentieth century new type of social problems were experienced: micro-family , random divorce, preserving egg through [ ivf ], drug-addiction among young adult, school-drops , gun-violence in school etc. ‘Sweet home ‘ turned into a fire-house. Young men and women were reluctant to marry in time as sex was abundant and women were financially independent .
Independent life and power of women hurt the male ego of superiority.
Gay marriage , LGBT came out from the cupboard and legalized in many places .
Nature intended to continue the human species as male and female for the special purpose of procreation.
The quintessential form of woman is to be caring wife and nurturing mother .Do we have any Plato Aristotle ,Socrates , Galileo ,Newton, Milton ,Homer , Shakespeare or Wordsworth within last hundred years? Mothers and wives of these genius were dedicated home-makers, care-taker, not career-makers.
Women need to revert their iconic identity:to be replica of nurturing nature . Otherwise ,disaster will happen ; human specie is already suspending on the verge of collapse.
Wrong concept of "gender. -bias" is leading males weak and to die ; gradually they may extinguish .
Male and female are like two wings of a bird .The. Bird needs. a pair of wings to fly.
There is an old adage that once you get over "Fear" "Shame " "Contempt " for the first time ,then you are free for the whole life from them.!
It is a great shame that the women adopt "# me too". as a weapon , a safeguard to save their 'so-called 'prestige' . SO ridiculous !....it is like undressing to restore the 'stolen nudity!'
Dozen and dozen "# me too". started to come out from the closet which remained in the dark for the most primimum part of life.
It is hard to detect or judge the real culprit .In the ENTERTAINMENT world , specially, women had been brutally molested but they remained silent ; partly to negotiate shame and prestige in lieu of career.
Shame is the most precious ornament /apparel of women. It should not be used as 'opportunity'. Aren't the scanty dress of women are provoking to opposite sex?
