Depleting Ceiling
The world is indeed facing global warming and our very own ozone layer is getting depleted. Isn’t it a matter of concern? Women empowerment is raising its bar. Elections are at its peak. Mee Too moment just shook the whole industry and on and on. But are we even aware about what exactly is happening in the ecosystem? All we do is pick up various phrases from around and pore it round. Do we ever take the effort of observing what it is that needs our attention as citizens? What it is in our surrounding that is actually changing? What is it that is depleting? And now needs to vanish off.
There was a ceiling made year’s back and mind it a really strong one. The ceiling was made of firm ideologies and opinions. Unbreakable it seemed. As humans we have the tendency to be biased towards all that is easy and all that has the majority. Talking about majority; men just came into the picture. The basis of this ceiling was the strong opinions of this majority of men. It was definitely difficult for women to find their way high up professionally and personally. The majority stood there; waiting for women to climb up and swiftly pull them down. Not an easy way for the women though. But the never give up attitude kept all going. Women have stood strong and have made each other stronger. An era has begun where humans need to be empowered and not any of the genders. Question is; has the ceiling broken?
I can surely see cracks on the glass ceiling and if I see clearly then the ceiling has been already shattered. With all the revolutions coming into existence the ceiling has been shattered way long back. Then why are women still weighed in these terms? Why are women always been addressed with all these special terms? It’s important to keep the weighing scale same. It’s the society that needs to understand that equality isn’t about empowering women above men. It is about let the women make best use of the opportunities they have.
In the whole chaos of who’s over whom we all have tend to forgotten that at the end of the day we are humans. As stated before majority forms prejudices and the majority stands together as humans. So before feeling sad; about our very own ozone layer let’s take out some time to be happy about the depletion of the ceiling. Let’s just vanish the glass ceiling, let us accept it’s broken and welcome are selves to world of equality.
Proud to have a daughter with such thoughts ❤️

It was great understanding the cracks in the ceiling, I wish more power to these thoughts which must become collective all strong women who still believe in the change making. Though it’s a long road we have to always question the hegemony of patriarchy. It is poisoning for all genders.
