Not too long ago I heard the Martin Luther King, Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech once again. Every time I listen to it, it gives me goosebumps. I was down and out, I needed some courage some inspiration and this speech gives me that. A day went by, I was reading the daily newspaper. The news of sexual harassment, women beating and all the non-sense happening to the women-kind around the world just got my blood boiling AGAIN. We seem to have become immune to all these news and unless it happens to one of our loved ones, we seem to give a damn only for a day or two. Of-course, I'm not generalizing! But this is a sad truth. This has to stop. This has to come to an end.
I just saw a video a little while ago, and this happened in NYC.
Will you react only if it happens to your Sister, Wife, Mother or Girlfriend?
Like Martin Luther King, Jr, I have a dream. One of my many dreams. But it is one of my most important dreams and I'm going to do it in the ways I know best. My dream is to see women claim the right to live as an equal, to live free not giving a damn about what the society is going to say, to laugh from the heart, to cherish their dreams. My dream is to create as many Women Entrepreneurs as possible. Lets face it, without a Woman, we Men are NOTHING. Right from giving birth to our death most of us have a woman giving us their attention, love, care and concern. They see our dreams take flight and without their sacrifices and conditioning there could never have been any great men. Women for years in a lot of places have been trained like an animal in a cage - to be controlled literates. In a lot of places where a woman can force this change, please do so. Stick to your dreams. Never back out. In places where a woman can't force this, take the support of a most trusted friend/colleague - can be a male too. There are a few people who really do care. They are your best bet and you need this.
Promote gender equality, give a woman the wings that she needs. She can do much better than a male. Women are not there only for child birth or to satisfy your sexual needs. Each and every girl right from their childhood have their dreams and goals, why is that only that a boy's dreams considered the ultimate? Are you worried that the girl child can do much better than a Boy?
Look at the video and knock some sense in to you're head.
I am taking a stand here because I cant be everywhere. I am taking a stand to help as many women as I can. If it's physical abuse, sexual abuse, mental abuse or just about anything - I am there to help. I urge all men with ethics to do the same. Everything is possible if you put you're mind to it. It's not difficult if you have your minds in the right place.
This is the only way I can fulfill this dream - by sticking my neck out. Not going to be a mute spectator. Enough is enough. This has to stop. and to all the women - You still have a few good men out there to reach out to and if you feel threatened just call out, fight back or yell. There may be a hundred who will watch - screw those spineless bastards. You will still find one person who will stand up and question. That one person is enough to change the herd mentality, and you girls are strong yourselves - Never hesitate to resort to violence when you feel wrongly harassed. You are in no way weaker than a male. Having said all this, I am still yet to find out a solution for all the wrongs happenings to toddlers - I, in all honesty do not have an answer to it now. Vigilance is the only way to move forward. But this has to stop. This is my Dream. Wish and Prayer. I again Urge all Men to act and not just be spectators. I HAVE MADE MY STAND.
To all the women, I say this :
Women, I'm sorry.
I promise to take a stand and I will not go back on my words. Never. Ever.
Women, I Salute you.
