Hey!
Women, a mother, sister, daughter, wife, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt and many other relations.
Every women has got so many relationships to connect to. In Bangladeshi society she has to follow every relation. And i do say we should follow every relations we have got. You know because god has given you this relationships to connect.
This doesn't only applies to single women but everyone. Like,if you are give 5 questions sometimes you can solve all 5 and sometimes you are not able to solve all because of some circumstances. Same is with relations, we can connect to everyone sometimes but not everytime.
Women were always supressed just for being women. They are treated badly just because they are women. They were forced for dowry and other practices that were not at all correct. But some of women broke this superstitious things and have reached a height of independence in their life.
In old times sex determination was one practice done to check whether the baby is boy or girl. If its girl, the pregnant lady was forced to abort. Even if she didn't abirted the girl who was born was treated differently. You know even if the baby isn't born once the female is declared pregnant she connects to the baby-no matter boy or girl. This is beauty of motherhood. I always have a question arising in mind: if in laws want baby boy so who does gives birth to the baby?
Answer: Boy or Girl?
Its a lady,women or girl. So, respect them. You know i would say we should connect to every relationships we have got as a women but till the time you are being respected. You know their is something called as self-respect. You need to take care of your self-respect.
What i have learnt is let people around you disrespect you ir let them use bad words for you but you are not going to answer them back. This is what Bangladeshi women is taught since childhood to respect her husband and in laws and everyone but she is not taught to taje care of her self-respect. I don't know what are they afraid of? If you are not wrong, you should not be scared of anything. Anything comes your way fight it out.
Not working as per your family and profession means being independent. Nahhh..... Being your ownself is called as being independent.
You know women get married and go to another house. Which they want to make their own house and they do but not everyone at that house makes her feel part of that house. She has to listen many a times to get out.
And and, our Bangladeshi women feel staying back there and listening their useless and meaningless words is showing her strength. I don't say thia but yeah it is also a power to listen. But sometimes you need to take stand for you too.
This is sanskari i know, its following religion. Its totally good. But not a single godess was told to move out or was treated badly because she was self-made. You know the secret.
This women also feel to move out but they don't thinking about society and how will they do everything.
But its their thinking. For me independence is not when you only earn its when you stand for yourself, create your self-esteem ,earn for yourself and can take decisions without feeling guilty or thinking about this society.
