This Amazon-istan fantasy is no joke. I think half of the humanity is facing a deeply rooted social and psychological problem. The brain-washing that women go through starts at very early age. It only compounds the sense of insecurity by giving them a false sense of security and lowers their self-esteem. It is disgusting to see that among other things the slef-serving interpretations of religion are also used as a convenient tool to brainwash and keeping women from releasing their full potential.

I think it is necassary that the subject of equality of genders and fair treatment may be introduced at very early level of education. And I think it is more of men`s responsibility than women to take a lead in this. It is a long journey and we may not be able to see the fruit of our efforts but our future generations will. But we wont go no nowhere unless we start now.

Bear one thing in mind that no government is going to do it for you. It has to start individually and then by passing the torch. Dont wait.

Thank you Bina for writing this piece.

Bina:

I haven`t read the article yet, but I have to raise my issue with the title.

Good Husband? That`s a very common term.

I expected something like, ``An Ideal husband`` from your keyboard :-)

later,
