An excerpt from Kangana Ranaut's interview
: " I think somewhere, women don't have acceptance for themselves. Women
don't support women, and this matter should be brought to light ( through
films). Though they share a bond, I still feel that we don't support each other
the way we should. Like, at the smallest of things, we see girls make fun of
girls themselves, our nature and how we look at each other as the inferior sex.
So, somewhere, this needs to be deactivated."
I was mulling over this comment and finding
some truth alright. Apart from this being a cut throat world, women have been
losing out due to personality issues. Sure, there are many women's
organizations and travel groups but.....
They call it a man's world because they
unite for a cause and their solidarity does often overtake that of women. They
also tend to move on faster than women without focusing too much on petty
issues. Traditionally, women were not insecure. In the Vedic age, women were
strong and wise and lived shoulder to shoulder with the men. But later in
history, they came to be called a weaker lot, dependent on the male. More so,
after the moghul invasion. And today, when women are coming out of their shell,
they will probably have to go through a period of transition till they start
supporting each other for a greater cause of connectivity and look for a
connection in each other rather than comparison.
