I'm not so conversant with the whole saga about gender equity but on a simpler level and understanding, it just doesn't make sense for me. I just think it's our human instincts to compete, win and not be in the less anywhere we find ourselves that brought up the whole saga today.
Nobody wants to feel less, left out or of no value but we forget to understand that we are all different even if we remove the gender clear fact. As a human, there are so many things you can do and be a great person to whoever values what you do, there are so many things you can't do too.
Not being able to do things doesn't make you less of a human, it means it's totally fine to get help from who can do it and there is honestly no need to feel like you're losing in that aspect when you know you're winning in the things you can do and even do better. Living is not a competition.
In my opinion, gender equality is just a brand name to run away from our responsibilities as the person and gender we are. If only we would go back to just how God has created and made the world before He said it was good, we would have less to say about being equal with one another.
I believe God saw this coming when He gave clear roles to both genders right from the making of man to the punishment He gave after man's first sin. Fighting for equality today is like going against God's plan for mankind. But if I am to be honest, there are actually bothersome reasons.
Reasons people especially, the women push for equality in our society today, is because a lot of men are neglecting their roles as a man. Although women also fail to play their roles giving them time to dare taking up men's role and vice versa. It's a sad realization but that's just it.
We want to be equal with each other because we find faults in each other playing our roles. When a man can't work to take care of his family, the woman might want to step in and when a woman is failing to manage the home, the man might want to step in. A wrong pressure will then begin.
But if only every person would decide to think and know what their roles are as a man or a woman, this is where "shared responsibilities, shared benefits" comes in. I believe if a man and a woman does their parts well, that is equality at it's peak and such a communal would be strong.
Even the Bible have said women are a weaker vessels but called the same women helpers to their husbands in the home. Anybody who have been in charge of managing the home know better how uneasy that is, making it clear that women are not as weak as we believe it to be.
Women are a weaker vessel when they try to usurp authority from men who God has made head over her, this is where the weakness comes in. But imagine a woman who knows her role and plays them well, she is considered strong. Why the fight for equality when you have roles to play.
Every person should focus on their roles, love and respect other's roles, help out when they can or they are needed. No need to fight for a right that you must take over another's role that isn't meant for you right from beginning. Focusing on oneself and know how to do the right thing comes first.
