Women aren't free. Why?

Point number 1) Women aren't free/ They live in a male dominated society.

Ponit number 2) They are not free because their loved ones do not let them free (Like  their  father, mother, husband, relatives, and friends).

Point number 3) Since the loved ones willnot take the blame onto themselves and the women do not blame their loved ones, the blame is put on the society.

Point number 4) It is true there have been some incidents happened. But our society has not become that much bad.  We can use it upto the limit it is safe. Yet women are not using it upto the safety limit. The loved onces tell them not to go out of home alone and they sit inside their homes cursing the society.

Point number 5) The situation is same in all parts of the world though in varying degrees. Men do dominate women. But the only women whom they can dominate are their wives, doughter, relatives and friends). If a man tries to dominate an unknown woman, it wouldn't benefit him in any good way.

Point number 6) So we all please leave out the society for the lack of freedom for women. It doesn't play much part.

If you are a free woman, the post doesn't matter to you.

If every woman in India is free, the post doesn't matter to any of our country women.

The same is the case with the world. Smile

Yes, this is good. First you generalize things, then when if someone points it out, you say that you are an exception.

I do not say Nandini is an exception. I do not even try to prove women are supressed. I only try to prove that incase women are supressed, its because of their loved ones.

Moreover I've heard this thing (ie women aren't free) more from feminists and activists.

Ok, so you didn't say that women are not free, and anyone who is, is an exception? So lets discuss your definition of "Being Free". What do you mean by being free? I'm not sure whether you're a woman or a man, as I haven't bothered to check that from your blog, but I'm pretty sure that I'm ready for this discussion.

"Being free" means "having the chance to do whatever a person wants without disturbing others". I think you haven't yet got the idea of the topic. Don't worry about my gender since that doesn't matter the discussion.

Sorry guys but I don't agree here. Lets say for point no 4. Women are told not to go out alone. What if they do go out with someone? What does the society has to say to that? Wo ladki uske sath thi n iske sath thi. If she is with a guy, she becomes his girlfriend, if she is with girl, "Kya zarurat hai do ladkiyon ko akele nikalne ki"? Again they are considered alone. Sorry to differ but people like me and you make the society. There may be some who encourage women and their freedom but majority is the kind I mentioned above.

The only point here to consider is that they who say these things do not really prohibit you from doing anything. They just say it. You don't have to listen to them. By pleasing everyone, you can't leave with freedom.

I agree with the thread creator here. Majority of the females are still suppressed. True, the scene is changing now...but it's little too slow, too late. This is my opinion... Cool

i dont agreeCool... if someone surpresses you can always ask them to shut up . Wink if women wants they can do anything and even whack those so-called suppressors.

ND, my point is...most of the times, those women are suppressed since birth by their friends, family and relatives in the name of the society. It's like, if a tiger is born inside the bars (zoo) and if he lives most of his life in zoo, how will he think about roaming free in jungle? He wouldn't even dare to dream about being outside of the zoo. The same case is of females. I hope I am making sense here.

For every woman to whom their father, husband and relatives and freedom providing, they can live in freedom. They can go outside home. Even where the society is so strict. Because the strict society only speaks. It doesn't act. It can't stop a woman on her way.

Saw the video. In that video, the society doesn't intrude in women's freedom. Men sometimes stare at women. But that is not a sufficient reason to keep them inside homes.

You may say it is bad to stare a woman. I agree. But women also stare at men. It happens in every society.

arey where did I say or imply in any way that they should keep them inside homes???

You didn't say that. But the video seems to be criticising the society. That's why.
