Empower women, bring equal rights, reserve seats for them in the parliament, let them have their freedom, give them wings to fly, what next? A mustache and a six pack.
Females have always been considered as the most poised and weak, among all living creatures.
Of course they are weak.; Raising your eye brows wouldn't make me change my mind.
For ages women have always been portrayed to be at the feet of men. Take the case of dieties we worship every day. Goddess Parvathi always sits a step lower to Lord Shiva. Radha, Rukmini and the 15000 other wives of lover Lord Krishna used to line up beneath trees while he plays the flute sitting on the tree. There are umpteen examples to prove that women have always been considered meek and shy. If you are not, then like Pinki, the Asian athlete, you will have to go through a chromosomal test to prove that you are not a 'He'.
Yes women are weak, or else explain why Sati, child marriage, and widow remarriage are still a part of the social society in some parts of India. Why is jauhar, polygamy and burqa still practiced. Why are devadasis exploited and women restricted from zenana areas. They do not have any property in their name, nor can they acquire their parental property.
70 year old woman in WB was killed thinking her to be a witch. A tribal woman was beaten up in
Rajasthan for the same reason. Around 2500 women have died in India in the last 15 years. Sati and female foeticide, and witch hunt are still considered as abberations in India.
So, I still think that women are weak and it takes a lot of courage, and support to take them to what they wish to be. But men, always finds it convenient to keep them at their foot steps. We might, out of compassion or obligation be ready for such a place but we are the only strength you might be able to rely on when you are at your worst.
To conclude John locke once said "As people are walking all the time on the same spot, a path appears". Women might be weak to walk all the time but they a strong enough to find the right path.
