If there is a discussion focused on the happiness and sorrows of women and its system, then one can often hear from someone’s mouth that a woman is the enemy of women. Those who stay away from the layers of this issue agree, those who understand its layers find it difficult to agree. In fact, whatever a woman acquires, she imparts the same knowledge and values to her daughter, daughter-in-law or other girls. In today’s era when usually every girl and woman has access to their home through the internet,We are getting all the news from outside and around the world, in such a situation, if a woman says that she is scared of today’s girls, then it is surprising. While searching for a daughter-in-law for his son, an acquaintance said that he is a little scared of the girls of today… Girls of today are very clever… They take all the money from the boy and keep it with themselves. Hearing such things, it seems at once that she would be angry with some particular girl, that is why she is saying this, but the irony is that this opinion was related to her thinking. what reallyIs it okay for an educated and responsible woman of today’s era to think like this about girls who dream with a little freedom? One should not be surprised when such things come from the mouth of men. Whenever someone intrudes into someone’s power, he suffers. But when an educated woman repeats such thoughts again and again, then the need to think about it is felt. Mahadevi Verma emphasizes that an educated woman should always support her illiterate sisters, so that other women alsoCan move forward. If Savitribai Phule had also thought the same, would half of the population who are able to get education today come out of their homes? Probably not. Actually, every coin has two sides. If we look carefully, one aspect is the struggle of girls to come out of the house in today’s era, then the other aspect is the thinking of those women who believe that the freedom of women to go out of the house has changed the family life. Have ruined. It can also be seen in this way that those women who are working outside the home, theyThere are challenges before working women. We have heard since childhood that after a certain age, girls should learn to take care of the house, because girls have to go to someone else’s house. Even after seventy-five years of independence, our society has not been free from this thinking. Even today, we pay more attention to teaching household chores to girls than to boys. As a result, working women try their best to manage both inside and outside the house, so that they are not accused of leaving the house if they are working. a bigSocial media is also a problem for women. Social media is not allowing women to free themselves from the image of a woman with all the virtues. In such a situation, if a male-dominated society easily finds half of the population suffering from the disease of omnipotence, then whose fault is it? When situations are so demanding, women have to work harder to prove themselves. In such a situation, even after doing all this, one has to hear that today’s girls have become more clever… they trap innocent boys. Sometimes it’s like thisIt seems that mothers who love their sons very much and are so proud of their innocence and that of their sons, should, as a precaution, refuse to marry their children. When you start cooking roti and dal yourself, you will understand the pain of women’s life surrounded by double pressure. There is one more problem. Today’s women are working at two levels. One is that she is trying to prove herself, second is that she also wants to live her freedom. It is natural for these two pressures to create contradictions in personal life.It is only there. This contradiction becomes even stronger when in today’s time everyone wants an educated modern daughter-in-law and wife, but he wants to limit her freedom. In such a situation, people often present the example of a handful of women and weigh every woman’s freedom on the same scale. The problem is that when the meaning of freedom changes from one house to another, then how can we see the freedom of all women across so many social categories from the same lens! In such a situation, today the women of the older generation have toA new perspective is needed for the new generation of women.
