Introduction
Being male or female is basically talking about the sexuality of a person while being masculine or feminine is the subject of gender. There are gender stereotypes in every field or area of work. Gender stereotypes are affected because of our social and cultural norms and the thinking of the people. There is bias not only with men and women but also to the transgender. In fact we treat transgender as a different part of our society. Transgender are treated like they are from some other planet. We associate their actions with feminine quality which is also gender stereotype. We can see gender stereotyping at workplace, marriages, sports, education, television and many more.
Social Identity v/s Work Identity
In this fast world everyone is rushing behind money and fame which is earned only by a person’s work. A person can earn fame on basis of his work. Though the reality is that in our country social identity is being given more preference. A person when takes birth he/she comes empty handed and goes empty handed at that time they don’t have any work or social identity with them. Throughout the life of a person he/she has an opportunity to create such identity that after their death also they are been recognized by their good works. Why our surname’s has more importance over our own wishes? A person must be a free bird to fly over in this world and build his/her own individual identity. Why a girl needs to change her surname after marriage? Is surname more important than her own identity which is by her own name and work? [1] [1] Most of the discrimination is done in the name of religion, god, caste, customs etc. Here I have a question does any GOD has any surname? They are been worshiped because of their good deeds. In the name of religion some folks continuously keep on doing some or the other nuisance. Does their religion allow them to do violence? [2] [2]Why a man is labeled as women when he decides to shift to his wife’s home after marriage? Why a man is called to be women when he does some household work? When a man selects that he wants to make his career in modeling than also he is been negatively trolled. Though nowadays women empowerment is much needed while overall empowerment is also needed equally. To uplift women it is not needed to bring down men, equality must be the prime requirement. [3] [3]
The Word Feminist is Not equal to Women Empowerment
Despite of India growing with tremendous growth rate in economic terms the social mindset of some people is going low day by day. Many incidents took place where we can observe absolute loss of Humanity. The best way to eradicate such wrong notions is that people must learn some basic word’s actual meaning, the best example of this is that many people in India misunderstands the meaning of feminist. [4] [4] They think that being feminist means the person who stands up for women empowerment but it’s not right. The true meaning of feminist is fighting up for one’s own self. A male can also be a feminist, some of the male actors have written feminist in their profile on social media which is very good but still they are being troll by some of people who keep on commenting some unnecessary stuff though they themselves doesn’t have enough knowledge with them.
