Woman aah Woman ! Are you married? and working too?
Be it the past or present how many Indians would associate the word 'prostitution'..with the gender male. Very few I guess. At least for the contemporary Indian society Prostitution has always been a business for the weaker sex.
Well, looking at the era in which we live on, i too quite believe every woman in some way or the other is born for the same. I do not mean to ascribe any derogatory standard when I say this. But paying a lame glance one would be easy to notice at least every stereotypical woman now working for an earning or not... has sold off her body to her spouse, mind and soul to her children and if any better zeal left still her service to her employer for which she works.
There are many things that a woman is expected to do. Cook for her family, pay sufficient time to her husband, see to whether the children do their homework in time and nevertheless never mix her work and family. The menfolk on the contrary can be late from work on a regular basis, may not care to see what their children are up to and quite expected to miss out on all opportunities to care for their ladies. She comes last on his priority list at least after the wed-lock !
So, indeed a modern woman has become a whore voluntarily or not.. in a way she is !
Does the situation inspire her to be better caring towards the family..the responsibility she so readily takes up... for the children she so..lovingly adores only at some of time to be termed 'a substance with obsolete mindset'...for the husband she has vowed all her life.
Does the situation even encourage a woman to think of marriage as an opportunity of a lifetime.. or rather a mistake of a lifetime rather !
I am not pointing my figures against anyone...because even if I at the end of the day am another woman..n know what it feels like.. to be thrown between multiple responsibilities and also... may not be able to empathise but at least sympathise the plight of all those working...married woman folk..I also somewhere down the corner of my heart expect the women today to shoulder all this...because left to others...God forbid what the world might turn out to be..but is it a desirable scenario or rather slavery of another form?
P.S : the opinions expressed are absolutely personal.. The intentions are not to demean any particular section of the society.
