hey hey hey..this is not a women hating or misogynist discussion. all i want to provoke is to understadn the true gender problems and solve them.
Women face a lot of tangiblee hardships, the kids upbringing and their involvement is much higher, the domestic problems is also a woman's problem that unfortunately we men dont consider it like a kneejerk reaction. however does that really imply that men are happy and they dont have problems.
i had come accross a story in the news that a man killed his wife. he was almost sentenced to death when the neighbours staged a "morcha" or a strike like protest that the man was tortured day in day out by the nagging wife. Her taunts and screams were never peaceful critics and hence he had to finally kill her. what does this story signify? many things, firtly men are tortured too, secondly they face the problem and solve it. the way may not be always right though.
Liberalisation is Good and women need it. however its also very important to understand that it shouldnt be at cost of men as this way none of the genders would be able to be peaceful.

I think men and women are soooooooooooooooo different that they can't ever really understand each other. They can learn to tolerate and sometimes even love each other in spite of that, maybe even because of it sometimes. The gender challenges and issues are just soooooooooooo different. Many of them can be explained by Evolutionary Biology. Women nesting and nursing, grinding corn, chatting, multitasking. Men often had to sit silent for days, thrying to kill an animal to last through the Winter or kill enemies. Silent attention to one task was required. Also, when men slept around and had many kids many of them survived. Women mostly had to consider what benefits a man might bring her so her kids would survive.

Kurtbiewald that was a good explanation however this discussion was started with the aim to understand the gender issues as faced by or felt by men and women themselves rather than by some organisations who have through a litte research generalised the gender issues accross all the countries.
Please dont mind honorable one, however what u have stated is a different perspective and the reason why men and women behave differently and infact you have given way for my next discussion. I loved yur response since it helped me think. howver i would request yur observations on problems faced by men and women.
thanks sir
