are you getting the "equal" treatment today?

Equal treatment is only a dream. Let us wait for the time when it will come true.

I don't want to be treated "equally". Why? Woman has to take care of family. The entire world can say that men are able to share the house jobs. But house jobs and nursing jobs are done by woman. Now, since the idea of being "equal", woman has to go work and bring back home bacon... then, do the house job and nursing job. That's the situation that the idea of "equal" bring to woman-- double jobs.

Very frankly speaking, I don’t know. There are so many aspect to equality, that its hard to confine within a few parameters. Firstly, I am a single child of my parents and they gave me the best in terms of education and other things. I don’t know what would have been the case if I had a brother, as India is still a male-oriented society. Secondly, in colleges, I have had many boys as friends and there definitely I was treated equally. Thirdly in jobs, I have not had to compete with the guys so much so I don’t really know. Guys around me have either been good or have had different career interests so we never clashed. Fourthly, in marriage, hubby and I are the best of friends so we are equal on most terms except for housework. Its me who does all the slogging while he does nothing around the house. Its not that because he is the husband, but because we Indians are brought up that way… the wife does the housework and not the husband. So in that way, I certainly do not feel equal.

I never agree that we get equal treatment at any point of time. As time goes out responsibility only increases not the power or influence increases. We have more duties than power to take decision and compete with men. Men always a dominating community with less knowledge and less effort. This is only my opinion.

Woman by nature are soft and men by nature are bold. Although the situation is changing but equality has not yet been established.
