The answer to this question is, none! A significant
number of women are joining the work force. This is a gradual step towards the
realization of the concept of super woman.
Choosing a certain profession not only empowers the lady but brings out a whole
new perspective as well as working zeal to the profession itself. The
initiatives taken by the Government is also noteworthy in this regard, where,
ranging from the third world to the first world country, immense number of legislation are being implemented to breach the gender gap. Still it is
remarkably visible in almost every sphere of occupation. Why do you think the
scenario is such?
Think about the last time, when you were guiding a woman
regarding her career choices. Other than qualification of the lady as well as
her vested interest, you must have considered her gender before giving her
advice regarding which profession to choose. That is one of the passive yet
most dreadful manner in which our near and loved ones dampen the spirit of a super woman even before she realizes that there is absolutely no profession on this earth which suits her lesser
than a man. If it is legal for her to enroll for a particular job, then other
than her qualification and interest, there should be no other criteria that
needs to be applied to suggest a lady to not go for it.
It has been observed that women are generally guided
towards professions which involve lesser outdoor activities and comfortable
working hours. It is just presumed that she will not be able to physically
endure the demand of the job or the stress involved in the particular profile.
She is encouraged to take up less demanding careers so that house work should
never be neglected due to her “day job”. As a result of this perpetual guidance
that has been going on for decades, even the super woman has completely shut herself out from the possibility of
venturing certain areas of career which are just overflowing with men not even
half as capable as she is.
The choices made by earlier generation of women have made
a huge impact on the career options of this generation of super woman. Employer’s outlook of skepticism in employing women
for certain profession or position is disquieting the current generation of
superwoman who are trying to break boundaries of social enigma or moral
constraint attached to any work. But
that should not stop her from moving on. She might have to go the extra length
to convince her parents to take up the course which is usually flooding with
men or have to go through certain number of additional interviews to find a
reasonable employer who sees her as an asset beyond her pink lipstick. But at
the end of the day, only when women usher in such unconventional careers which
are considered popular only amongst men, will they be able to make it a more
welcome place for her own kind.
