Are the genders treated equally in our society and religions?
The notion of the male being
the superior sex is still common in parts of the world today,
especially in
most African countries like Nigeria. Islam has been largely accused of
supporting the male whilst suppressing the female. The truth, however, is
something else.
We all know that both male
and female are different in terms of reproductive systems and
basic biological
features, differences that are innate and bound by nature. The question
arises:
On what basis are males considered superior to females? Is it in terms of
career, intelligence, physical strength, passion, empathy, sporting skills,
cooking skills or something
else?
A writer once said that there
is truly no masculinity in males who subjugate females trying to dominate them
with resentment or physical abuse. True masculinity and harmony between male
and female lies in mutual
respect, and in the understanding of each others
needs. We can leave the spurious battle of the sexes for the
opportunists who
want to earn something other than the true realization of human beings.
My
question is, ‘In your opinion, do you think or feel that MALES are the superior
sex?’
