'Poor Women Are Denigrated From the Womb To the Tomb!
The International Women's day has come and again. Paeans of felicitations were certainly offered to the 'those women at the top either by geneology, inherited wealth and the few who have made it to the top by their grit and determination. The majority of our sex still remain in the background, slogging in different ways to do the best for their families. The end result may not be very satisfactory for the woman in question but she is happy that she has done her duty but never questions the right or wrong of her decisions but goes on to function to the best of her ability.
Our advertisements,whether on print or on the visual media,portray women as mindless, cranky characters, always weeping and suffering all kinds of mental and physical tortures without a whimper putting the entire blame on 'fate'. the torturer is invariably 'another woman' the villainous person who is the epitome of cruelty! There are just these two types of women according to our advertisers and those women in power never raise their voices or pens to correct this portrayal!
The latest advertisement ,'to save electricity,are two famous Malayalam actors who come on the small screen to advise women not to use the electrical appliances in the evening forgetting thst the 'poor women' find the evening time the ideal hour to do the electrical work, in between their taking up their children's' homework! Its high time that we,women should stand up as one force with one voice to show our true picture along with all that is good in us! After we have that advantage of being the creators of yesterday's todays' and tomorrows' generation!
