Like several other women, I happen to criticize men for their being who they are, although I have no reason to do so. But being the ambulance chaser of the highest order, I like to be among the incoherent and bellicose rioters, screaming their lungs out over something that might not be that big of a deal. From a very strict patriarchal society, I too have been victimized at times for the choices I made. I have made certain compromises at several points considering the fact that my compromises might pay off at certain future point but that point now seems rather pointless. To be honest, I have all the reasons to empower myself so that dealing in a strictly male dominated society would get a bit easier but I honestly have no energy to torture my maid by leaving my entire house on her, almost crushing her integrity and her right to be empowered in an apparent male tyranny, and scream my lungs on a street condemning some unknown ullu da patha for screwing my not a very happening life. But many would do because… I don’t know seriously.
Do you see from where am I coming? Yes, I am certainly making a point from a fanatical feminist’s jurisdiction. By fanatical, I seriously didn’t mean to undermine the effort of various organizations who are empowering women not only in terms of education but also providing vocational training to make women of today financially stable and independent. My hostility is for women who in their vociferousness have lost the actual gist of feminism and do not really acknowledge the significance of biological differences which might not allow them to be exactly like men. In their rhetoric stance against the male oppression and male tyranny, the women of disillusioned feminism have been rejecting any such idea which would make a logical and rational point that women cannot really excel in all male dominated fields. The women of today in their desire to be like men, have actually compromised their natural inclination towards the professional fields that will definitely suit them better with guaranteed success. But the delirious and laughable prospect of these feminists has somehow convinced the masses to believe:
“Many well-intended groups were convinced that once they are freed from the supposed chains of male oppression and prejudice, they would quickly climb to the top levels of most male-dominated professions and positions”
Unfortunately, men still tend to dominate certain positions and professions and fortunately not due to the male tyranny but due to their spatial abilities which are different in men and women. The modern feminists have somehow completely ignored the biological differences that exist between the two sexes. The spatial/biological difference is so pivotal which if overlooked could kill a female version of Michael Schumacher because women do not have such spatial abilities which would actually lead them to win a car race. And honestly speaking, do we have any female racing record holder at the moment? No. In order to direct the brouhaha of the current feminist regime, spatial abilities must be discussed thoroughly and bring women in the world of reality.
How did I know of this concept? (for those who know my intellect level would doubt me for coming up with this theory) I happened to read a book “Why do men don’t listen and women can’t read maps”.
Behold before all you women out there show your outrage on the apparently sexist name of the book. The book has provided a thorough and detailed research on spatial skills of men and women, making sure that no one gets offended. But hey, if you belong to the delirious feminist clan then you will probably end up disagreeing with everything, cry and later shop around to feel good about you. Anyways, so this book along with its unique discoveries made an excellent and indisputable point. Here it is:
Any discussion on gender differences such as those in this book brings howls of protests from people like feminists and politically correct activists, who see it as undermining many of their arguments for a fair go in life. But while the prejudices of society may reinforce and exacerbate stereotypical behavior in makes and females, and fundamental inequalities, the stereotypes are not the cause of the behavior. Our basic biology and how our brains are organized are the culprits. Many women feel that they are failures or the women in general have failed by not conquering male-dominated areas. That’s simply not true. Women haven’t failed; they have merely not been particularly well-equipped to enter areas that suite male brains much more.
The idea that women have not succeeded in society is only valid when based on the assumption that success by male standards is, or should be, the benchmark for everyone’s success. But who says being a chief executive controlling a corporation, flying a jumbo jet or programming a space shuttle’s computer is the ultimate measure of fulfillment?
Men do. It’s their standard of excellence, not everyone’s.
Biology, the spatial skills and hormones; the three significant factors play a comprehensive role in the behavioral formation of men and women and later formulate the societal preferences. Simply put:
Women haven’t failed. They have only failed to be like men.
Get it?
The benchmark for two men and women should substantially be different because their spatial abilities are strictly different. No matter how much you reject your biology and your hormones, nothing will change. Your unacceptability will further create problems for you. Changing your natural inclination might get you in that profession but probably after an evolutionary discourse of over thousand years.
Oh and the good news for all the women out there who might be planning to shoot me right into my brain:
Where equal spatial ability exists, women can perform at a higher level than men.
See God is kind and you can definitely not reject His creation and His rules. Your defiance in terms of social injustice and your empowerment in terms of acquiring the appropriate opportunities on a merit are appreciable but your disillusioned brouhaha and almost lunatic stance rejecting all biological prevalence is a folly and absolutely mind numbing.
So Stop Shouting!
And oh, read the book as well.
The crux of the whole argument
“Women haven’t failed. They have only failed to be like men.”
Amazingly put: “See God is kind and you can definitely not reject His creation and His rules. Your defiance in terms of social injustice and your empowerment in terms of acquiring the appropriate opportunities on a merit are appreciable but your disillusioned brouhaha and almost lunatic stance rejecting all biological prevalence is a folly and absolutely mind numbing.”
very well written once again. all i want to say initially is “mujhy apni shagirdi main le lain please”.
you have rightly point out the sector of the “civil” society that has pages long speeches to make and they are blind in what they are supporting in term of ideas and in terms of the place where these ideas are going to be implemented. at the end of the day west is west and east is east, the concept or the idea of women “empowerment” that we have in west or more specifically these “chosen few” want to implement is suitable in western ground realities when these ideas come into the eastern perspective there can not be a simple copy and paste things because there are so many differences and ground realities evolved that need to be sorted out. ironically (i might sound like ‘mullah’ but i cant help) when it comes to religion the same “social class” who have all the “responsibility” of the society want a version of religion, more specifically Islam, that is very much local cultural specific and flexible with the area where it is being followed/practised but when it comes to the ideas and theories which were coined and practised in countries far away from ours the same faction want an un-changed implementation…. yeh kya baat hui mufti sab.
now come to the differences these two sexes have, i am living in a country that is said to the mother of all the modern western ideas, a country where gender equality is being practised but still I have personally experienced to be asked to do certain tasks myself at my work place or at university as it is “Men’s Job”.
Biologically, yes, men and women are different. That is physically obvious. However, labeling mental capabilities (aka “brain”) as “men”ish and “women”ish is absolutely wrong. To begin with, “male brain” and “female brain” are stereotypes. What you are suggesting in your articles justifies all the jokes related to women being bad at parking (among other similar jokes). Trust me, there are women who are awesome at it and who do have a good spatial sense. Plus, there are men out there who have a bad spatial sense. So when talking about mental abilities, I suggest we avoid generalization and stereotyping… it’s ultimately malevolent sexism. If my daughter (not that I have one) ever comes to me telling me that she wants to become a formula race driver, what do you think I should tell her? That she shouldn’t because she is a woman? Because she is incapable, biologically, to become a formula one racer? No, thank you. I would want my daughter to pursue her dreams even if its something that is in a male dominated field. She has every right to do what makes her happy while respecting the rights of others as well.
I suggest you read, at least, the last paragraph of this article: http://gender.stanford.edu/news/2011/is-female-brain-innately-inferior. This is my stance on this issue. I hope this gives you something to think about.
Well .. Either you didnt read the book wholly, or its that the author was a 8 year old .. Be kind enough to derive some links rearding the research done on these spatial and mind-boggling hormones that hold such impact on stereotypical societies ..
