The modern times have called for paradigm shifts. Men were
primarily the owners and guardians of property. They distributed it to fellow
men and shared with women in their possession. It is not so in the twenty first
century. Feminism movements supported later by legislative efforts have slowly
improved equal access and utilization of property. Women are equal to men- so
they say. And everyone is equal to everyone. But it is not so.
A man is more likely to be
generous than a woman. The willingness to give out what you have is not a
woman’s thing. Our science teacher in high school in the struggle to teach us
about reactions said we were oxidizing agents while terming our girl school
reducing agents. As a man you are more likely to help a lady or any other person
who needs your help than a woman can.
A few reasons lead to this
hypothesis. One is the fact that men’s needs are not many in comparison to a
woman’s in the modern world. A man got
to wake up, eat, have some long term plan like education, building business,
writing a book etc and having some fun. The point is, there is least
expenditure unless he is extravagant. Unlike a man, a woman needs or tends to
need more than the basics. That amounts to the need for more. It won’t ever be
enough, I guess. The person who is more likely to save you a note in this
scenario is a man.
A woman keeps records of the people she helps or those who
need her help. She would therefore recall a series of those whom she helped and
failed her, those whom nag for her help and other things. She will go about
telling any shoulder that is ready to be leant on even before she serves the
person in need. With that she may accumulate various reasons that are not
necessary. In the end the help may delay in serving the purpose and making it
worse for her to gain personal courage of risking in the name of help.
Woman and men are now earning equal for equal jobs. The same
is not reflected on a household level. A house that a woman pays rent, buys
food, schools kids and a man is present cannot stand. The woman will think
compromised. Such normality best happens in single families where women are the
bread winners. A woman who provides for her husband is such a great virtue
whereas it should be a normal thing as a man could be in a position to provide.
So when you have a job offer, mind a man first.
People will site instances where women have greatly offered
what they have to their children and family members. It could be true. But that
is selfishness to this article. You could only help your children? What about
the rest? That is why some children will be well cushioned by their mothers. It
is not because the mothers are generous. It is because they are selfish enough
to protect their kids from the outside world. They will be driven to school, picked
at the hour, called every now and then among other things. It is not equal to
majority of the fathers.
Men guarded as women exploited the resources back then.
Presently men’s resources are women’s properties while at the same time the
very women have insurance with side properties- their jobs. And when you visit
your ageing mother at home and give her a heavy envelope than your father, you
know why. She will be selfish enough to tarry longer with the notes. Your
father will wake up, shake his walking stick and hit the path only to come back
broke having been generous!
You should have given him more, couldn’t you? Or are you
selfish like your mother?
