No equal footing

I cant say for sure what goes in all parts of the world...havent been there! but there's discrimination against women here ...certainly....most times subtle, othertime quite glaring. Killing female feticides, violence against them of all sorts hit us hard but diluting our identity or completely omitting it is a thing dat happens everyday.. You are not given a parking place as easily as a man might get, people meddle with ur property, you dont have a strong representation in policy making in domestic matters as well as professional. They take you lightly, and while they are taking you lightly, they are unaware that they are even discriminating and feel so great that atleast they are not killing you or hitting you or calling you names. The other day when was attending dinner at a couple's place, the husband was saying time and again to his wife 'dont talk like foolish'.Wondered what if she said the said same thing to him (which would have been right as well as he is always in a fowl mood, cranky and very negative overall) but she didnt ...and kept ignoring it. At a shopkeeper one day while buying things, saw another lady walk in and she was swanky looking and talking animatedly, took some stuff and pushed off. The shopkeeper and his helper boys shared a chuckle as if they silently shared a secret joke....why?? what was so odd in a good looking n a spirited woman...?? Weird men flock in his shop all day long...and no one talks abt them...wuts so funny in women that u disparage them?? Ofcourse there are some personal episodes where things have been taken lightly... Im not going to make noise...cuz i have tried sincerely to change things for the better...but the disrupters as usual thought that they could assert power not by facilitating good stuff to take place but by killing the right effort.ok. What will be the outcome of all of this? if usilence or demean the non-aggressors, harmless gender...they will suffer...they should suffer...will suffer.
