When the festival starts, various messages start floating on social media comparing women with the goddess Durga. I just have one genuine doubt: why women are compared with a goddess and are expected to behave like a goddess. Why not compare men with Mahadeva, Ganapati, Rama so that they also start behaving like these deities? (As per Hindu Mythology, Purana, Dev were also cunning, that’s the other thing).
Celebrating womanhood now a days is very common and it is because of if you suppress anything it reacts with abnormal force. Why men don’t feel necessity of celebrating manhood?
Women are either treated as Goddess or like garbage. I would say, they should be treated as normal human. Women themselves should consider themselves as human, not superior or inferior to men. If women understand this, they will convey the same to the rest of the world.
Happy Navaratri!!
