” A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.”
Gloria Steinem
Gender Equality is a pretty trending topic since the Suffragette movement took place. Women have stepped into the shoes of men and achieved great heights in their respective fields. Even though they are scaling new heights, yet they have to face a lot of problems like disparity in pay, sexual harassment etc. Despite the struggles faced by women , there are some men who feel that women have it easy and are pretty privileged.
This is what is explored in the pick of the week- a web series called Man’s World. The story revolves around a man called Kiran who feels women are always complaining. One day out of frustration, he asks for a role reversal i.e. men should take place of women and vice versa. His wish gets granted to his surprise . Though he is a man by nature, but he and other men have to live like women . That is when he realizes that his thoughts on women having it easy were completely wrong . He prays for living a normal life i.e he wants to be a man again. But does his life return back to normal? If not what other insights does he get? Do watch it to find out.
The web series is an interesting take on the concept of gender equality. Years of conditioning and the distinction between the roles played by a male and a female are reasons behind the glaring gap. Articles , books, movements have been taken out to highlight the issue of gender inequality . Even the sustainable goals on United Nations has gender equality as one of its objectives. We can make the world a better place if we realize the importance a man or a woman play in each other’s lives. We might have taken our steps towards it, but we still have a long way to go. So, this one is highly recommended by me . The reason is because it really provides some food for thought. That I guess is a feature of a good pick. Let it be a book, a movie or a web series. Take your time out for this one and do share your experiences with me . Waiting for your lovely comments and feedback as always.
