It is not a matter of equality but a matter of Identity. The above topic should not be
visualized in terms of endless competition between the male and the female gender
but as necessity for coexistence of these two creatures in the present world.
Moreover organisations like that of the ‘women’s lib’ have worsened the situation.
Thus let’s think of symbiosis, of living in harmony and not of endless war in the
precincts of what we call our ‘sweet home’. The whole exercise should be towards
developing humankind as a whole through the cohesive force of both the genders.
For:
1. God created men and women to be partners and not subordinates.
2. The necessity of uplifting women’s status is never over emphasized.
3. Equality of status makes them work better for the nation.
4. There is a woman behind every successful man.
5. They have a right to equality, as they should be considered as individuals first.
Against:
1. Man is usually the head of the family.
2. Such issues would only lead to quarrels in a family.
3. It will lead to the women neglecting their children and thus underdeveloped future
citizens.
4. It will lead to undue usage of power and thus frequent conflicts
5. Women should strive to be better individuals rather than competing with men.
