Sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏 i am from Odisha ... please sir suggest me some crucial books so that i can easily crack NET or SET.... your narrating process is admirable and phenomenal......
I was speaking to someone who labels themselves as a feminist. We were having quite a relaxed conversation about it. I asked what rights men have today that women don't have. I never got an answer. I heard the usual rantings we hear from "Feminists" about a pay-gap, but nothing else. I'm sure there are other issues, but the very fact that she couldn't think of any and calls herself a feminist screams volumes.
Let’s just clear up this imaginary pay-gap. There is not one single employer who pays a man more than a woman doing the same job. That has been illegal since 1963. It is true that men on the whole get paid more than women on the whole. The commonly regurgitated statistic for this is that women are paid 21% less than men. This may well be true, but it doesn’t take into account the disparity of hours worked by men and by women. On average women work 7.8 hours per day where men, work on average 8.2 hours per day. Therefore, the hours worked by men and by women accounts for 5% of the difference. A study conducted by The Guardian Newspaper in 2016 clearly shows that more women graduate from university than men, but fewer of these women apply for graduate jobs than the men. Also, female graduates who do apply for graduate jobs are far more likely to secure employment than men.
So let’s just recap. more women are graduating than men, but more of those men apply for graduate jobs meaning that a portion of those graduate women are applying for lower paid jobs and are working fewer hours once employed. When all the relevant statistics are taken into account, we can see the real reason for the pay-gap and it has nothing to do with gender inequality. Rather gender equality of choice.
To narrow the pay-gap further, we would have to take away a portion of women’s freedom of choice and demand they work longer hours in the jobs they are choosing not apply for.
Feminists complaining about the “Gender pay-gap” want to take away women’s freedom of choice. Modern feminism centres on equality of outcome and ignores the equality of opportunity.
Now let’s look at some of the social issues affecting men.
94% of work place deaths are of men. (This indicates that the jobs men work are more dangerous, on average, than those worked by women)
99.9% of deaths due to war are of men.
75% of suicides are men.
76% of murders are of men.
45% of domestic abuse victims are men (which we rarely to never hear about)
Men serve 63% more prison time than women for the same crimes.
71% of Homeless people are men.
There is also:
Paternal inequality.
Lower life expectancy for men.
Child custody inequality.
Child Support inequality.
False Rape Allegations going unpunished.
Criminal Court Bias.
Social misandry in education and the media.
Boys falling drastically behind in education (mainstream education is tailored for females).
Alcoholism affects twice as many men as women.
Infant Genital Mutilation affects 23% of men and 5% of women worldwide, yet FGM gains much more exposure.
Men have little to no say in regards to reproductive and family planning issues.
There is a huge lack of resources and compassion to male victims of domestic violence.
Prostate cancer has higher mortality rates than breast cancer with a vast disparity of exposure.
It's worth taking note of these to gain a balanced view, and not form opinions from what the majority of the media tells you to think.
Feminism isn’t about gender equality. That movement already exists. It’s called ‘Egalitarianism’.
Not every profession has been male dominated.
1. Child care services
94% female
2. Home health care services
89% female
3. Veterinary services
80.7% female
4. Social services
84.8% female
5. Educational services
75.4% female in elementary and secondary schools
6. Libraries and archivists
76.5% female
7. Accountants
59% female
8. Legal services
54% female
9. Employment services
53% female
10. Leisure and hospitality
51% female
There are many professions dominated by men for which the inequality goes unnoticed by feminists.
Building and construction
Mechanics
Sports
Bathroom attendants
Military personnel
Logging workers
Fishers
Aircraft pilots and flight engineers
Roofers
Refuse collectors
Iron and Steel workers
Coal miners
Truck drivers
Farmers
Landscape workers
Power line installers & repairers
Maintenance workers
Police officers
Fire Fighters
Sewage workers
Let me end this with a question. What rights do men have that women don’t?
Thanks for writing an essay as comment. I'm agree with you. Most of the things lies in attitude and mentality.
Cool down sasta Jordan , Andrew.

With the time, the meaning of Feminism is changing.....
"It's not always about right, IT'S ABOUT IMPLEMENTAION SOMETIMES".
Gender inequality in India is a multifaceted issue rooted in deep-seated cultural, social, and economic factors. It manifests in various aspects of life, including education, employment, healthcare, political participation, and access to resources. Here's an overview of the major dimensions of gender inequality in India:
### 1. **Education**
- **Literacy Rate:** The literacy rate for women in India is significantly lower than that of men. According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), the female literacy rate is about 70.3% compared to 84.7% for males.
- **Dropout Rates:** Girls are more likely to drop out of school due to factors like child marriage, household responsibilities, and lack of safe and sanitary school facilities.
### 2. **Employment**
- **Labor Force Participation:** Women’s participation in the labor force is low compared to men. According to the World Bank, in 2020, the female labor force participation rate in India was about 20.3%, compared to 76% for men.
- **Wage Gap:** There is a significant gender wage gap in India, with women earning, on average, 19% less than men for similar work, according to a report by the Monster Salary Index (2019).
- **Informal Sector:** A large proportion of women work in the informal sector, where they often face poor working conditions, lack of job security, and no social protection.
### 3. **Healthcare**
- **Sex Ratio:** India has a skewed sex ratio due to gender-biased practices like sex-selective abortions. The sex ratio at birth, according to NFHS-5, is 929 females per 1,000 males.
- **Access to Healthcare:** Women, especially in rural areas, often have limited access to healthcare services. Maternal health indicators, although improving, still reflect disparities, with high maternal mortality rates compared to other countries.
- **Nutrition:** Women and girls often suffer from malnutrition due to discriminatory feeding practices, which prioritize boys over girls in many households.
### 4. **Political Participation**
- **Representation in Government:** Women's representation in the Indian Parliament and state assemblies remains low. As of 2023, women constitute about 14.36% of the Lok Sabha (lower house) and 11% of the Rajya Sabha (upper house).
- **Panchayati Raj:** At the grassroots level, women's participation is higher due to the mandatory reservation of 33% seats for women in Panchayati Raj Institutions (local self-government).
### 5. **Social Issues**
- **Child Marriage:** Despite laws against child marriage, it remains prevalent in many parts of India. According to UNICEF, India has the highest number of child brides in the world.
- **Violence Against Women:** Gender-based violence is a significant issue, with many cases of domestic violence, sexual harassment, and dowry-related violence going unreported due to social stigma and lack of enforcement of laws.
- **Cultural Norms:** Patriarchal norms continue to dictate many aspects of life in India, where women are often seen as secondary to men, affecting their autonomy and decision-making power.
### 6. **Legal Framework**
- India has several laws aimed at promoting gender equality, such as the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act (2006), Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (2005), and laws against dowry, sexual harassment, and workplace discrimination. However, the implementation of these laws remains a challenge.
### 7. **Recent Trends**
- **Government Initiatives:** The Indian government has launched several initiatives aimed at empowering women, such as Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (Save the Daughter, Educate the Daughter), Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (a savings scheme for girls), and the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) which promotes women’s self-help groups.
- **Rise in Education and Awareness:** There has been a gradual rise in education levels among women and awareness of their rights, which is slowly challenging traditional gender roles.
### Conclusion
Gender inequality in India is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach involving legal reforms, social change, economic empowerment, and increased political participation. While progress has been made, significant challenges remain in achieving true gender equality.
