Happy Mens' Day to those men who cared for us. Who left their seat to ensure our safety. Who checked if we reached home properly. Who raised their voice for any of us. Who takes any small step to change peoples' patriarchal thought process,even after getting bashed. Who ensured we get everything equally. Thanks to the fathers who raised a good sons, thanks to the brothers who fought for their sisters' right and respect. Thanks to the husbands who have stood by their wives when it was hard for them to cope with.Thanks to the friends who took stand in public for any of his harassed mate. Thanks for choosing the different path even in the era of patriarchy, this is definitely super apprciable cause we barely (even the girls) get chance to think about the discrimination in this structure.
And manhood is not only about being 'provider', thanks for breaking the stigmas of society, or for trying to break them.Thanks for thinking out of the box. Keep yourself clean, cry out loud when you want, maybe dance, maybe dressup and smell good, maybe cook for youself cause these are basic human needs. Maybe take less load. You guys dont have to be provider all the time.
We hope, someday you wont have to ensure our safety. You wont have to worry about us. You wont have to leave a seat for us. We hope you will know we have reached home safe without calling. We hope you guys wont be recognised only as provider someday, we will get enough opportunity to provide ourself. Hope someday you guys wont have to save us from other men (?).
Embrace yourself. I wish you a very very Happy Mens Day.
