WHY I THINK THAT FEMALE IS THE MOST VULNERABLE GENDER.

Girls and women, as the name sounds come in the category of female gender which is still in many parts of the world is considered as an unsafe gender. It’s not like that I haven't experienced anything. Well, there is no such girl or woman who has not experienced eve teasing, theft or something like that which is proven as egregious.

The question is, Why?

Why is it only the females? Why girls still look everywhere before going out? Why they can’t be free like guys? And most importantly, why in some parts of the world it is proven as a sin to marry a girl who has been raped?

So, the purpose of me discussing this topic is to convey a message that this has to ‘STOP!!’.

I still remember when my mom used to say yes to me when I asked her that whether I can go outside for playing or not. I was five when I used to do that but when I am fourteen, it’s like a huge mistake to go out after nine. I was allowed to wear anything, from frocks to shorts, from sneakers to boots, but now it is just jeans and t-shirt and a frock which goes below the knees, only.

What about the boys? Well, I haven’t seen them following these restrictions. They are free as ever.

I don’t know that I am whether right or wrong but I certainly think that this is the mistake of each and every person in the world who thinks that a girl is poor, that a girl should be properly dressed after reaching her adolescent, that a girl should be responsible for every household work, for her own child. If the people who are well educated would really like to think that then what would the people who cannot afford education would think? And, then you also expect the world to be crime free. If you are arguing about a girls maturity then I should really give you this sentence that to think about 1000 times before saying that. A girl is human, she is not different. The girls are also created by god, they are not different. The only difference is this that, they can give birth to a girl or a boy and the guys can either make them a good person or rape that girl or teach the same to the boy. But, still I think that it is the people who themselves make this gender unsafe by following numerous myths like ‘Girls should not go outside at night’, ‘Girls should be properly dressed’, ‘Girls should be responsible for cooking and household work but not anything other than that.’

I really am ashamed that people who are very well educated and have learnt everything about girl’s personal problem and still freak out when they see a blood stain on her bed, still freak out when a girl suffering from period dates comes close to them and most importantly never marry a girl who has been raped. Here’s a question, ‘Whether that treacherous incident happened with the girl or did she do that to anybody else?’

So here are the reasons why I think that girls are proven as vulnerable but you can still stop this whole scene by not making the girls uncomfortable and change this whole perspective and accept that a woman are equal to men. I hope that people would make this world a better place for women by changing their direction of thoughts towards the females.

That’s it.

Thank you!
