Men’s Day

“Men are not worth being celebrated.”

You are today what you are because of her. It was she who held your hand, guided you the right path never letting you fall. She is your mother, your wife, your daughter, your sister and even more. She shines allover and radiates herself to the whole mankind. Her beauty and admiration have always been appreciated. She is full of life, activity and what not. So what is the harm in admiring her for one full day for the role she has played for the mankind ?


However, you must be thinking if she has been celebrated internationally, why not we ? After all, we also play a great role in our own way. It is very obvious to think that. but let me remind you something. Do compare once the role you and the lady closest to you plays. Got the difference ? In quantity or quality? Who do you think is worth celebration? I may sound highly feministic, but the truth is always bitter. It is often said so but that is the truth.

Furthermore, she is physically weak naturally. No matter how much she claims that she is equal to men, there always is a limit for her. But look at her overloads. She has to look after all the household works before she is married. And she has to cope with the new environment however it is after the marriage, whether it be a love marriage or an arranged one. Not to mention about the loads after marriage as a wife, daughter-in-law, mother and many more. In today’s context, there might also be some women unwilling to adjust in the marital bond and finally get divorced. However, the ultimate result is always a disaster, a destruction of a society. So, she has the sole responsibility of making her society a heaven or a hell. Where are the men in this issue ? Far behind.

In the 21st century today, it has become much more difficult for her. She has got to compete with men and become successful. As women are being educated, they are aware of their rights. This might even make them revolutionaries. These days, we can see the tendency of women willing to remain unmarried and independent. They don’t want to surrender themselves under the male dominance unlike the old generation. Neither can they tolerate the imposition of machismo. If this trend of women continues, what would become of the future yet to come? Even the ecological balance would get affected and tomorrow’s world may end in chaos.

To conclude with, “Men’s Day” is not a bad thing to be initiated. Rather it is a must today as we claim ourselves to be egalitarians. But before moving any further, what needs to be understood is “Men should make themselves worth celebration.” They should give up their wrongs, misdeeds, male chauvinism and machismo and try to walk together with women holding hands. After all, human life is a product of a man and a woman. For a perfect harmony, both need to be balanced proportionately. So men, if you really want a day for your celebration, at least you have got to make yourself deserve it.
