Are Men Really Stronger.................?

Hello everybody.For all those who have read my blog earlier I am continuing the task of providing hope and inspiration,not to mention gaining so myself,to all those who are confused and are not able to make a decision.We sometimes have a view regarding something,but are not able to convince ourselves,leave alone others,whether we are right and whether we can hold on to this thought forever.In this post I write about a view which I strongly believe in and would not mind arguing over it for hours.
Here I'm entering the age old debate on who is stronger MALE or FEMALE.
First of all I would like all the readers to read it with an open mind,without any prejudice, and at the end confirm if they do relate with me. CAUTION: This article is a strict NO for male chauvinists.
Many people wrongly associate strength with power.These are two totally different,yet related words.but we will come to that later.Strength for some is the quality of being strong,physically and mentally.But for me it means more.For me a person with more muscle need not be strong or the person with the sharpest mind may not be strong as well.I perceive strength as a power to resist stress,as a power to endure infinite pain for something we believe in.
A classic example of this is our beloved leader,Mahatma Gandhi , neither did he had great muscles nor did he possess the brain of Albert Einstein.But what he did had was the STRENGTH to take on the mighty British umpire.
And it is exactly this view which led me to believe that women are stronger than men.
Yes,we men are strong.Both mentally and physically.But,do we have it in us to resist stress and strain as they do.Ours is a male dominated society(no matter how much your thinking differ,its still the truth).and to survive in these conditions for ages in itself is a commendable task.It was not long ago that a female child was killed in womb itself.So this gives them a head start.Moreover we see them doing the same things as we do with same efficiency and courage(if not better).In today's world in every sector we see women working at par with men.So definitely they are not weaker than us.
Many would argue that they have lesser physical strength than men.I agree.But even we lack the emotional stability they bring in our life.We might be more muscular,but in the end all of us need women in our life.Be it your Mother, Sister, Teacher or your better half.We are always incomplete without them.
But are male ego refuses to accept defeat.So we put forth another argument saying if we complete each other why to label one as strong and the other weak.Let us All be equal.I consider this itself as my victory.Because for ages these men never accepted them to co-exist and now they are giving them equality.This itself should be applauded.But i have one last card which I'm sure will tilt the balance in their favour.
As I said earlier strength is the power to endure pain.I strongly believe women have greater power to endure pain than us men.And I'm sure the almighty GOD agree with me.Otherwise why would the creator of the entire universe give it's power of creation to women.Yes, the fact that god has entrusted the power of giving birth to a child, in women makes them much more stronger.Because women could bear more pain than us.Arguing this means arguing the will of GOD.
With this I take your leave.
I believe every man and woman should read this and at least give it thought.
Thank you.

  1. Sure...ur arguments are strong.. But its debatable.. I think most women are emotionally weak. Men score in ths department. Thts y we dnt often see men crying. Also women are done in by little kindness or gratitude. Its a male dominated society.no doubt. and women are subjugated rite frm birth.so they never get to learn to take on men.trends are changing. also
    Education is the key to all development. And it will soon bring a drastic change to our country to. And with tht all such kinds of debates will die down too.. tc..alls well..keep writing

  2. neither of the sexes can deem they are stronger than the other...strength lies with both of them,just like u mentioned-emotional, pshychological.Men might be stronger in a particular area,lets say physically but then i think women are more stronger phsychologically(my opinion). the point to be understood is that both men and women should compliment each others strengths and coexist,which happens in most cases(succesful ones)so to say that women are stronger just because they were entrusted with the responsibility of delivering a child is not justified enough,because even men have their part to play in the area of strength especially when it comes to protecting women and not the other way round.So i would be on the safer side n simply say that both men and women are on the same page when it comes to having strength because both have their role to play jus like in a team where it is difficult to say one is stronger than the other,as survival of one is difficult without the other
