A Little unloved

 

Daughters are a blessing, and will remain so. In the old days, girls were much unloved and looked down upon. Abandoning them was routine. Boys were considered a pride because later on in life, the reins of control were to be in their hands.

Gone are those pathetic days. However, a vivid semblence of this cruel notion still remains. Somewhere deep in our hearts, this dispicable truth is still innocently buried and is exposed by a slight feeling of satisfication that comes from a brith of a baby boy. 

It, no doubt, is a moment of delight in itself. But it becomes lamentatable when subjected to comparasion. It becomes lamentable when the extent of delightfulness varies on these two occasions.

Why should it vary? Why are sons still more celebrated? Aren't girls a pride as well? They are. But we're not ready to accept it.

Things might not be as bad as they used to be. But a deeper look into the matter reveals that they are neither good. We are always incomplete without a man. But the oft-neglected fact is we are also incomplete without a women.

We are hardwired from the very beginning to deem sons more worthy than daughters because they are a thing to be given away. Daughters go, but sons stay! Hence, greater amount of resources and higher expectations are mostly reserved for sons. 

This is not wrong, but aren't all these factors tending to demotivate girls to succeed in life.

Things aren't as bad. Yet, daughters are still a little unloved. Their domestic, financial and social efforts in life, aren't all these done to make herself a bit more loved.

Had this not been our mentality, girls would have equal resources and oppertunities. Had they been given all these things, they would surely proove themselves as competent as men- because the fact is that they are!
