But where I am, it's the same, so this issue of men feeling superior to women is just not in India. Men here are still trying to adjust to the authority of a woman. A man naturally is alpha, he has a knack of keeping control and he is quite territorial. That's how men naturally are. Then, to top this, the society has always put men above women, for thousands of years. For us to expect that in less than a century, they will adjust completely may be an over expectation from our side. We need to move together as a unit, sometimes giving them control, sometimes taking the control. If you take away everything from a man, including his instinct to protect, care and nourish, our society may lose balance prematurely and ultimately collapse. In my personal opinion, a collapse is necessary so we can build a new society where we give credit to all genders but obviously this collapse cannot be sudden otherwise we will all suffocate in the dust that's left behind.
Having said that, the new generation (men upto around 35/40 years) are really adjusting and trying. I see a positive change. It is now the responsibility of women to not put their necks on the line and give it time and be sensitive to their needs as well because in the battle for women to progress, somewhere, men have been left behind in terms of their emotions, almost as if their emotions don't exist. It's a tough situation but if we work on it, not like a battle, but as a necessity, maybe then things will change.
Also, Indian mums need to stop treating their bois like some kind of Devta. It's annoying 😆
