The sensational incident where an
obsessive lover studying at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) drank poison
and slashed a girl is a proof of patriarchy society on Wednesday (31st
August 2013).This is a shocking incident and the whole India is stunned. It
shows the patriarchy that still exists in our society.
Most Young men apparently can't digest
the fact that they have been rejected by their lovers. The JNU case just proofed
it. It is not that these people are not educated, but the problem is about the
perception of some people and what they think about women. Why these educated
students do such embarrassing act. These people cannot control their anger
whatever be the reason.....They are becoming monsters while doing such crimes.
Take
for example the recent outrage about the Delhi gang-rape while it is true
everyone was horrified by the crime and are demanding a change which is very
difficult to implement. In a system based on patriarchy, not only the social
system is male dominated and the government is male dominated as well. The
practical impact of a patriarchal system is that women are frequently
considered second-class citizens and often exploited. In a patriarchy, women
are often not allowed to hold positions of power.
We
right from the birth teach girls to be afraid of men; we need to change this
mindset first. Men should be taught that women who dress in a western manner do
not actually do it as a way of attracting men but dress that way because they
are comfortable in the clothes. Men should be taught that women are of equal
value and importance and if given a chance, they can prove it. It might be
difficult to change the mindset of older generation since they have been
brought up that way, but it still can be done. However we can take up the
challenge to change the mindset of next upcoming generation from their birth.
