It is Women`s day

Yes ! we have come to yet another women`s day. There are many people who wonder in this 21st century do we really need to have a day for women.

Yes on the outset with all the modern woman lib arguments and feminist institutions should there be a special day for women ?

However difficult being a man and to accept this I must say in my point of view yes there is till a need for women`s day in the stern age.

The people who argue against this will sight the fact that the women are doing as many important jobs which men do and also contributes as much as men in the present day society there is still a need to forcefully reiterate the importance of women in the social structure.

I have seen in many occasions a man who works for a woman boss finds it difficult that he has to accept the authority of a woman. Yes many a men feels that is beneath them to let others know their boss is a woman.

The modern world is full of opportunities but only for those who are willing grab them with both hands and not let them go. The steps to progress in their career everyone has several paths that they can choose.

But my friends ! on how many of these paths there are obstructions placed so that women may not progress as freely as men ?

Answer to the question above will be astonishing . Yes today's women face "glass ceiling " obstructing their way to the top. They can see the top but cannot reach it.

There are inequalities in the pay between men and women. There are daily women being attacked all over the world just being women. There are families scared to have a baby girl in some parts of the world.

But what are we doing ? still arguing that whether it is necessary to have an International Women`s Day or not.

We are all born in this world as equal. Whether we are born as man or woman it is not in our hands but why that is so that men seem to think that they are a step above women.

Whatever happens in the world it is possible to put a negative spin on everything . It is important to focus on the issues and for that reason it is a worthwhile thing to have a special day marked for that purpose.

Instead of arguing whether there is a need to have a day for women why don`t we examine as men do we give the deserved respect to the women.

Starting from . . . . .  our own family !
