Hmmm...exactly..but for the one who stand away from the society creating their own powers have made the time moved for them......
You can count them on your figure tips...
I am talking about ...whole Fairer Half.
Hmmm! I guess its high time we do something about it rather than just complaining about it.
Nice post!
All the best for BAT. :)
Hm.An interesting take on the topic. Not sure if status of women really has not improved though. Apparently these days Nordics are a female dominant society. Would be interesting to see how that happened.
Wow, Amazing post, Makk! How did I miss this one?
Even though the content is less, it speaks volumes about the status of women through the ages.. Great going!
All the Best for BATOM-8!
#Nethra
Ditto. Let every one work on personal level and we can see a silent revolution.
Good luck to you too.
# the Fool
By the post I am talking about woman in whole world.
You may see some handful of them in fine situation but that doesn't changes the picture at large.
# Paarth
Welcome here.
thank you. for your words.
humm.... its interesting to see a male to take the initiative in keeping the "ugly truth" before ous rather before just males.....well lot more is said n very less is done rather nothin we can say.....its a pleasure to see atleast 1 out of the million to realise it.......:-)
nupur
Well,
I guess it's not at all true, as women are becoming aware of the rights entitled to them and they are also beginning to fight, there will be a day in the near future, where Men Reservation bill will be waiting to get finalized :D
Good post though, a touch up of grammar is needed here and there :)
Cheers!
A very different take on the subject and reading this on Women's Day gives it a profound meaning!!
Sad state but true!
Good luck for Bat-8! :)
nice take on this social evil with apt strata of events....
grt job....
Only domination is permanent in this universe of energy transformation .. irrespective of gender
al d best in bat8 :)
That was too good Makk !!! And what a coincidence. Today is Women's day and I read this post today! Yeah we women are still oppressed in society :( Very beautiful post!
Also read my take on this!
#Nupur
There are many to realize including those called well educated woman, its just taking a step is too hard to do for them.
anyway
Keep smiling.
#Pawan
How many of them are really living with their own terms conditions??
Its not very nice to mention that hardly 1% of world female population, is what we can say liberated living life on their terms.
Is it very changed situation?
Even its worse then earlier.
Here I would like to mention that if you are seeing all educated woman as free and liberated then you are definitely on mistake.
Even their woman don't have right to choose hat they want to study or where can go for an outing.
they do as they are asked to do.
# Shilpa
thank you for your words and nice to see if you you guys can bear the torch with you.

Here you land..what kept you away for so long..??
:)
lollzzzzzzz
I tried some thing, non poetic (already have many) and non storistic (as I suck big time on that).
Glad you like.
# Mahesh
well, I can see you are still influenced by some Sci fi, you have been to.
lollzzzz
nice to have you here.
Keep landing here.
Disturbing facts, but a sad state of affairs indeed.......glad to see such a post!!
I unfortunately agree with you. But there is hope. Women today are catching up - raising their voices against injustice done to them. They are climbing the ladder. I know it's not much. But there is hope!
#Mural!
Its nice to see you here. Keep visiting.
#Prashant Mehta
(Please check my comment to Pawan for reply)
Ofcourse there is hope in every thing.
Its looooooooooooong time they are living on mere hope.
Should not they act now?
Shout not WE act now?
Awesomeeeee Makk !!!! I loved it :) A totally different take on the concept ! I loved it to the core !!! Its true , sometimes time remains static for " women" ! All the best :)
I never realized you had a post. When I got the update on my blog, it said 3 days old. Maybe you wrote part of it and published later and hence the goof-up.
I will try to be early next time!!!
#INsignia

Very well captured and presented.. hope it changes for better in future.
Very well put! Like I said, its the attitude that has to be changed ... from the grassroots
@phoenixritu
INDEED.
Keep stopping by.
brilliant post indeed things are the same high time we take something in our own hands
I know you can count them on your finger tips ...but they become future role models for this current Gen-x and thats how they move the time.
And as it is said that to see the change be the change....when one does the others will follow in suit because all want a bright future with equality in everything(almost of the population).
And the ones who like to be pitied are having fun in their situation(thats what it can be called cause they have grown used to such pities) and they want no more than what they currently have acquired these types of blog for there state(taking this only as example there are many others).
The others who will to have the change will surely get it by hook or by crook.
#Monika
Welcome!

#unknown wanderer
as far as I know....so called Gen X...(who want to change the way life is for them, not just by Age, they can be 16 or 60 years old)....are very few.
Brilliant post Makk!!
I remember reading about Martin Luther King Jr saying that he knew eventually, over centuries racism will end, but why should he accept the injustice of so much delay ...
I feel the same for gender-bias. Maybe after many more women have been battered or burnt, after millions of girl babies have been killed by sex-selection or by neglect... we do need stop our reservations against women participating in public life.
The playing field is not level even today :( If they aren't even allowed to play, how do they win?
#IHM
unfortunately women are their own biggest enemies.
I hope for a better future.
Keep Visiting.
Hey the time travel doesn't have to include only the bad things. Things are much better for women now. Sure things could improve, but its not as bad as you make it out to be.
It's true that things are really skewed. On one hand there are independent women who live life on their own terms and on the other there are women who still have to depend on others.
# Rambler
First of all welcome here!
I accept your views..
but I want to mention few thing to you, as follows:
1. a handful of whole female population was living in ease and bliss and have enjoyed their femininity in all spheres of life, irrespective of time & place.
but that doesn't mean that situation has changed...
2. when I addressed this post I was addressing a majority of female population.
I can quote you example from every caste, creed, society, race and financial status that women are still have miles to go ....rather I would say they have hardly crawled... in millenniums..
Thanks for commenting.
Keep visiting.
