Female Activisim

Feminism is a term I hate these days. It just does not make sense. What do these women tend to achieve… Equality?? In today's world I think women get their due respect and opportunities. In fact they get better opportunities at work. I have always felt good that our society has opened up this much to treat women equally. But women are never satisfied. Off late I am beginning to think that women were given too much space that its no longer about equality it has become dominance. There is nothing wrong in thinking so if you can deliver. But I personally believe that a its not right for the society. If you take a work place, a woman responsible for recruiting a person for a specific post at the organisation favours a female candidate more than a male candidate even if he has a better profile than his counterpart. This is majorly because of the insecurity or attitude or whatever you want to call it the employer has. But a man in the same position would deal with the scenario differently. There is always a difference with a male being the interviewer and a female being the interviewer. Majority of the females would try to show attitude and try hard to emphasize that they know everything. Am sure that many male interviewers also have the same attitude but the degree and the number is much less when compared to that of females. I do acknowledge their growth and talent but she has to have mutual respect which is missing in many women today. I know people would call me to be chauvinistic… I don’t care… Why do we need so many women organisations?? What are they working for??? Many of them make good money out of it or use it for their political endeavors. Nobody dares to talk against these organisations. If they do so they are labeled to male chauvinists. But what about female chauvinism ?? I don’t think there are any organisations to preserve male community's interests. If there are any these people label them gays.


If you happen to read the bible, the final part states that the world would come to a stage of extinction when women take over to rule the world.

What I say is Don’t just try to take the glory just by talking, do something to earn it.

Analysing myself??

For the past one week I have been trying to answer this question. But I have not been able to find a convincing answer. Am a very average student right from school. Very often these days I get this question in my mind “Am I competent enough?”

The answer is "I really don’t know". How do I assess that myself? What is the yardstick?? Of course I would think of myself to be at par with other people because I would not let myself down and there would be a bias when I assess myself. But when people around you talk about something which you don’t understand head or tail about, you just shut up and listen but waht if the same happens in most places you go. You get the thought that you are not up to it.Thats where the issue of competence creeps in. I don't mean to say that one should know everything. But he/she should at least know something.

Analysing what interests you the most is also a very difficult part. I am seriously not sure as to what I want. I do not know what I want to be 10 years from now. Leave alone 10 years; I don’t have a clue about 10 months. Am seriously torn between jobs I would love to do ( job satisfaction) and a life I would love to live ( materialistic gain ) . I wanted a career shift from corporate communications to television production. But the fact is, television does not pay you as good as what copt comm pays plus I have a year’s experience with public relations and copt comm. So a career shift at this stage would mean a waste of experience. It all gets too materialistic in the end. It’s all about money. I know I need money for a comfortable living and the dreams I have. For instance, I am sure it'll take more time for me to afford a car if I want to do what interests me. But if i were to continue in corporate communications, these dreams would be realised much earlier than as a television producer.

It’s all about brass tax.

Now to the competence part. I don’t know if am good at what am doing right now. And am not sure if I'll be good at anything at all. I want to get good at what Iam doing right now. But I lack proper guidance. Am already a lazy guy. This job is making me a lazy idiot. I can seriously feel a slump in my working and thinking capabilities. Am gonna screw up my career if I dont get out of here as soon as possible .
