But what we need to realise is the real empowerment is to create a true identity that is uniquely ours. Though I am glad that this revolution of thoughts in woman has begun,which will create an identity of their true self from within.

I was at Hyd and came today, opened my mail only to see what had been perturbing my mind these two days! Such a solace came by reading your article. Sir, you confirmed very interestingly the entire feminine dilemma. Your writing this itself is a support extended to women who like to change. <br />I taught MPhil MTWU classes on Sundays for a couple of years and I came across and studied Feminist Literature. There were 6 women candidates pursuing this course and all working and my reading helped me not only to go with teacher’s everyday ritual of completing the syllabus in given slots – miserably, to one’s own satisfaction or to the students satisfaction - but to throw some challenge and heated (really) discussions as working women themselves are not clear of the role that you need to play at home and work place. All of them showed Maa in law or some other in law as the sole cause of the trouble that they had identified instantly in that class room. If not the poor husband was any how there. Next father or brother was targeted. Mother for not giving equal opportunities with Indian traditional mindset, they would come out. I used to continue the discussion and the entire three hours would revolve around all apprehensions and two ‘M’s were targeted - ‘M’aa in law or ‘M’ale and they got tired of complaints/ verbal attacks and no new point would be added. Meanwhile the lady for sign to lock my name against my name would enter and there was nothing to write under topic except the faces smiling with everything came out and feel light which I couldnt record of course. I used to sign writing Introduction : Feminism telling them keep all this stuff you told now in a recycle bin and tell me the reason for women empowerment still unachieved. Feminist critics like Elaine Showalter, Simone de Beauvoir never suggested looking at your counterpart and empowering. Gender Studies never suggest seeing the world through/ with /like male. Men do not look at women but may take support. They are already well trained to go with their business if that support is not there. Majority of female still depend on the male and do not know even simple things related to their profession. They are dependents in the name of support. This dependency needs to be streamlined but so much messy in the society prevailed. A cleansing process must be done but all wh words plus how challenge us. Let coming years take such an initiative. <br />Sasikiranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559193621815271635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821435454903220135.post-40999671617385611502014-03-08T15:40:37.526+05:302014-03-08T15:40:37.526+05:30I have just corrected the date and time of my post...I have just corrected the date and time of my post.Off the beaten trackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347762988191738166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821435454903220135.post-42791286190493231252014-03-08T15:32:02.082+05:302014-03-08T15:32:02.082+05:30I'm afraid I must correct the computer clock. ...I'm afraid I must correct the computer clock.

The third one must have been made this afternoon, but the time is shown at 12.37 this morning.Off the beaten trackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347762988191738166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821435454903220135.post-15232024909870761772014-03-08T14:07:46.430+05:302014-03-08T14:07:46.430+05:30Well analyzed sir.

While breaking the male-dominated world, the women are following the men rather than creating a new model and continue to remain handling the familial task alone.
