Why women are not treated at par with men? (Especially in India)

As I pointed out in another post that in a male-dominated such inequality is common and we are in the process of getting rid of this injustice!

I think it is the social system that create all these problems.

Ages old social system that has kept women chained inside the house to endless chores of taking care of everyone and everything, the resultant inferior status inflicted upon the women and superinflated chauvinistic egos of most men prevent women from being treated at par with men.

We are male dominated society. Historically, a woman's field is home and family and man considered bread winner. Teaching and nursing are considered women's occupations. Now women are entering all fields. They are treated better. But there are actual physical differences that cannot be wished away. Men are physically stronger and they may go to any place even field and at borders. They are not scared of rape and other such physical misbehavior unlike women. Even if they face any ill treatment of sexual nature, they do not suffer from stigma.

There is need for change in social attitude and women's own attitude for full equality.

In India there are some ages-held beliefs that some professions and occupations are not meant for women but in the West women take to these with great success disproving all notions about unsuitability of women!

it is not now like that but as far in old times it was occurred that women can't take part in decisions of homes and didn't have priorities.

This is because of our olden days it is maintained in our history.Now it is still following this.Now a days it is slowly changing

can any explain me the meaning of this question. what is ment by par

Indian society is patriarchal.From ages our belief is that women's cannot be compared to men.Their domain is home and children.Though today women have come out of this domain and proved themselves in different spheres of life but then still important decisions are take by men.One of the reasons may be that men used to earn money in the family and women's work for home and family was free.

Oh thats very bad to here. women also should be equal to men. but in indian they never do that. and more over the talented women are underestimated and stamped in home by the men

since ancient times, male have been considered superior than women as they moved out to earn livelihood and run the lives of the family members.With this they started getting privileges such as participating in all outdoor activities.They used to get connected to the external world while wives normally lived at home like a weaker part of the family from society's point of view.

Education of girls have brought great change in the society as they walk shoulder to shoulder with male and it has led the fear factor and timidity getting vanished from their personality. Now they have proved that they are equal to men in all walks of life.

this is a modern age and everything should be changed and both male and female should get same value. but still in some families they show lot of difference.
There is one idea to get the change for this. The first step is the dowry system should be prohibited then both male and female will have same value for certain extent.

Women are getting equal treatment in matter of employment, property, education etc. Owing to physical differences, the cannot be treated exactly slike in some respects. They are rather protected more than men. We have seperate commission for offences against women but not for men. here are seperate police stations for dealing with crimes against women only. The law has also to protect women more for physical offences.

Conditions were worst ages before but as of now it is better and I hope that in times to come this differences will not be there and women will be treated well and better even in our country India...

@ ajay

But still on our country most of the families underestimate women. My life is only example. My career and my life stopped for the reason of marriage. and most of the matches are been seen for me to send house wife.no one give respect to the aims or goals or dreams of a women

Yes, sarala I agree with you that there are situations when women are still underestimated and taken secondary. What I can say is that don't give up hope and always make sure your decisions count when something is related with your life...
