Paragraph on advantage and disadvantage of indian women in society
Answers
Pros
You’re unlikely to be conscripted. In war, you’re collateral damage at worst. No one is going to command you to risk your life capturing a clod of dirt.
You always have some baseline value to society in your reproductive system, up to a certain age. This means that even though there are disadvantages to not having other skills beyond rearing children, you’re always going to have a fallback social role. Even past childbearing age, you’re considered to be a capable surrogate parent. If a man has no social utility, he’s tossed to the bottom of society.
In the modern US, family law favors women to a strong degree. If you marry a man with assets, it’s likely you can divorce and get half of it along with rights to child support and alimony. This gives you a strong negotiating position in all marital disputes. If the man walks away from negotiations, he loses 50% of everything. This is less likely to be the case in a marriage in which the woman out-earns the man.
There are many generous welfare programs targeted to single mothers. Even if you get rid of your co-parent, you’ll still collect financial benefits that will help you raise your kid.
Longer life spans. Women tend to avoid many of the self-inflicted early deaths that men subject themselves to. Women outlive men in the US by an average of about five years . In crisis-stricken countries like Russia, that gap can be as large as about 12 years. In the US, men are far more likely to be obese than women are. Why is this the case? I’m not entirely sure. I’ve heard arguments that societies that prize the safety and social stability of females tend to succeed. When conditions turn bad, society can shed excess males, and they kill themselves off through some combination of drinking, drug abuse, obesity, suicide, and violence.
Neutrals
Much ado is made over female sex appeal. Helen of Troy’s face launched a thousand ships. I’m unconvinced that this is a real advantage to being a female. Tall, handsome men can leverage appearance just as much if not more than a woman can. I’m bucking tradition and saying that this isn’t a gender based advantage. An attractive woman can get a lot, but a charismatic male executive will be able to leverage good hair and > 6 foot height for many more years than an attractive woman can use her looks.
I’ll suggest that men and women have similar enough potentials for mental achievement that it’s a waste of time to be concerned about biological differences between the sexes in general intelligence. We are for the most part similar variants of the same hairless monkey. Our bodies may be different, but when it comes to the important matters of applying our intelligence to our problems, gender provides no advantage or disadvantage.
Cons
The ‘affirmative action’ mentality. Marie Curie can’t just be a great scientist. She’s a great scientist ... for being a woman. If your interests and abilities take you to a traditionally male pursuit, no matter how impressive your achievements are, you’ll always be impressive ‘for a woman’ or merely for having XX chromosomes and having male interests. The kinds of policies that entrench this mentality are well-meaning but misguided.
“Looking presentable” requires way more effort for women than it does for men. Just getting your hair right requires deep knowledge of hair care and of current fashions. Men just have to manage to avoid cutting themselves too badly while shaving.
If you are too pretty, many will assume that you can’t be smart. If you’re too ugly, no one is likely to notice you or consider you valuable in other ways. Men can get away with looking hideous or odd to a far greater degree as long as they have other compensating talents.
Critics will always leap to a woman’s appearance first when attempting to tar her character.
hope it helps..........
plzz mark me as brainliest my dear !!!
