Boy ... Girl .... Children!!!

Ancient times in India when there was a girl child born, the midwife or the grand mother usually killed that baby. Just a little new born will be gone without even tasting the life. Then the times change and people started becoming more educated, now many people realized that the children are gift of God and they won't do such barbaric act. Then there were many parents/people who are proud and boast that they raised their girls as boys.

With changed times if the people became more educated then the science became more advanced too, now the Ultrasounds could tell very clearly if the pregnant woman is carrying a boy or girl fetus. I guess the times changed but still there were people who didn't wanted either any girls or no girl after the first one. Such people started another thing and it was female-foeticide. Really ugly face of humanity.

Many organizations raised awareness. Lectures and seminars are continuously held regarding the issue. It is still happening the same way but the topic I am trying to discuss here is - With all the awareness movements now people are trying to glorify the girl child as it was done for the boy at one time. It is mostly by the ones who have girl child.

Are we always going to do this inequality, where we glorify one sex.

Why? Why don't we just talk about the children as who they are. Why people who have girl child glorify their daughters but if the same is being done by a mother of a boy it will be considered rude or boisterous. That isn't fair. Or is it?

Being a woman, I agree every household should have a girl. But I would rather say - have one each- girl and boy, a must coz that way both boy and girl, know the behaviour of other sex and they know how to carry themselves gracefully. A home is made with people who live in it with love. In a home it doesn't matter if there is only a couple or a couple with children. What makes them complete is the love between them not the sex of the children.

With all the social media these days, it is doing way more glorification of girl child.I think we should glorify the families, the love, the culture, the affection, the tradition, the manners, the respect. Children are a blessing of God. Thats what people should glorify. Raising the children right. Teaching boys and girls to respect each other, making sure they grow up as responsible citizens. The girls should learn how to change the tire on their cars, the boys should know how to cook a meal and clean the home.
A house is build by contraction workers but the home is build by the people who live with love in it, as I already stated.It is quite unfair for the young boys who have to hear in their homes that the sister is better n more intelligent just coz she is a girl. It is the same inequality which at one time happened to girls.

Shouldn't we raise them as who they are, what they want to do.

If we don't want to raise our boys as girls; why raise girls as boys???

Let's glorify the love and families.
