Eve-teasing - a menace on the rise!

Talking of Indian society, we have been a conservative male dominated society until the last decade, when women are breaking free from their shackles and walking aside men. The masses have not yet matured enough to handle this sudden shift in the paradigm of roles and responsibilities between the man and the woman in the society.
Suppression of the female gender has been prevailing in India since ages - women have been deprived of higher education, denied their option to be engaged in a job, ill treated at their in-laws, discriminated at their parents with brother getting the better share of the goodies. To be born as a woman was a curse, no more now! Women have become independent and self confident, which reflects in their dressing sense. They have not only successfully taken up the role of the man but also their attire.
The male-chauvinist that we as a society have been has left behind deep roots in us – we men secretly resent this rise of the woman, we resent their success and empowerment, we resent the fact that we have worthy competitors now. Educated, upright men have taken up the challenge from the woman on the right foot and constructively faced this reality with self-development. However street rogues and men from the not-so-enlightened society are yet to find a better way to vent their grudge, so they indulge into eve-teasing. This satiates their innate nature of oppressing the female and gives them a sub-conscious satisfaction that they are still the better lot who are in control.
Its time we the people of today opened our eyes to this rising menace, both genders join hands and try to help these men, who indulge into eve-teasing, into using their resources and time in a better way. Let’s make this society a safer and a better place to live in for the fairer sex.
