When humanity fails, extremism comes
into existence and thus extremist words such as Feminist get formed in a
society.
So how humanity fails? When exactly
humanity fails?
When a population is divisive or when
it can get parted, the reason for such a division and the stronger portion of
such parted population becomes oppressive on the other minor population and
hence, humanity fails when discrimination starts!
After all, the ego is a part of human
nature!
So let me tell you what made me speak
about humanity. People ask me if I’m a feminist. I never answered. I thought
it’s a harsh term. Now I boldly say it’s not feminism. Just an extremism of
humanity!
Let me narrate my experience for this
write-up.[
I'm in search of a job. I'm a
fresher. I started attending interviews a month back. I attended around 4-5
interviews.[G5]
My first interview went well. I got
selected to round 2. I cleared my technical round where I was informed that I
would work in night shift for which I said I will confirm within a day’s time.
They said they will call me back but I didn’t receive any.
My Second interview with another
company was a wonderful experience where HR asked me what's my marriage plans
as I'm unmarried and in the age of marriage as per the society. I said not for
a year. When I asked for the reason, she said people get married and quit a job
that's why. My peer who was "HE" attended the same interview and
"HE" was not questioned about his marriage plans![G6]
The third interview… sorry! Call for
an interview was not made because I’m a girl and I won’t work after office
timings and that I won’t stay late at night to complete work during peak hours.
The next job required an employee who
is willing to go outstation. Though I was willing, the job required an HE who
is willing to go outstation.[G7]
My next interview called me to sign a
bond to work for a year. Then, I came to know that bond was only for female
employees because they may quit the job after marriage.[G8]
I encountered this gender patriarchy
almost in all the interviews I attended and these were some examples. I really worry
if this is the state. I agree it's a cost to the employer if an employee quits
the job in a short term. I agree it's not worth recruiting an employee if he is
not willing to complete the pending works. [G9]
I agree.
But I need an answer to
following questions
- 1. What's the probability that a guy won't
quit a job for a better pay? Wouldn't he quit a job if he needs to do
higher education? What's the reason behind avoiding a female employee just
because she might quit the job after her marriage?[G10]
- 2. Why
should I work after my office timings?
Is it my fault to refuse working after my office time or the inefficiency
of the employer to recruit the adequate number of personal considering the
amount of work?[G11]
- 3.
Though I don't have a problem working after office hours it's the [G12] late night fear for any girl that makes her feel unsafe to stay
late at night after work hours. Is that her negligence to work or the
society that had created an unsafe atmosphere for her?[G13]
- 4. Even
if the society is unsafe why am I going to fear to stay late at night or
travel outstation if the employer takes care of my safety issues?[G14]
A single question sums up the total
issue.
Why is the society making me feel
insecure and hence inferior?
I undoubtedly know these questions
cannot be answered.
But, let’s raise questions!
As a famous quote reads,
"Let us[G15]
scream so that one day a hundred years from now, another sister will not have
to dry her tears wondering where in history she lost her voice”!
