So I read a very interesting article today that showed a cerebrum divided into two parts- the left and right. The article was decoding women's skills based on their brain parts.
Accordingly, a woman's left brain functions include number & math/scientific skills, written & spoken language, analytical & logical reasoning, objectivity and right side of body control, whereas, her right brain functions include music/art awareness, intuition, creativity & imagination, Face recognition, emotions, subjectivity and left side of body control. It almost made me laugh because it seemed absurd to imagine one side of my brain trying to work difficult math problems and failing at it while scaling through a foreign language smoothly without any difficulties. Having studied anatomy in school, I was always even then very curious as to why the brain shows different usage in men & women. Is it because men rule the roost and really put in a good use of their brains while women don't? Many people are put off when questioned on an opinion on equality of the gender. And, how lord, do they cringe and express disgust on Feminism. One aggressive statement by a woman in favour of feminism and she is lauded as a crackhead.
Just the other day, I shared a poem titled 'The Dictatorship of the Bra' and of course, I had a few very worried messages from people I know telling me how inappropriate it is to write about something as personal as a body garment. Here read the poem yourself:
I laughed in my head. Then, I laughed on them. They say it right. One man can't change the world. Hey! But many women definitely can. All we need are women who embrace themselves and their inner strength, who do not pay heed to the 'still' masochist society gossip and women who define their own lives. We can make a difference now more than we ever could in the past. We were given a start by strong opinionated clear headed women, we ought to take it forward. No demeaning fellow women, no backstabbing because someone lost their way. Its a long journey and it will reward. The prize will be the future generation of women not dogging down to the male anarchist society for their survival or rights. The prize will be non-distinction between the sexes and no gender discrimination. That time will come. It has already arrived in a small corner of the world. Rest of the travel will happen soon.
