[QUOTE="Naamsimiran, post: 156833, member: 16792"] Sat Naam Jis Thanks for all your post. There is a lot of research done and its important in fact to look at the research. It is good to discuss, but also helps if we deal with facts, valid observations and theory too. The reason being is that we can have many ideas and thoughts about why things happen, but when we start looking at why exactly things happen, including social issues, we can then find solutions. I am at the beginning of my research and the questions as well as answers lie in many factors, including Patriarchal systems, Capitalism, Imperialistic structure, Psychology and social psychological behavior to name a few. It is a much-layered subject and yes it is complicated as as human-beings we are mulch-layered and complicated. I suppose at this stage, in my naivety I can offer some observations and ideas. 1. [I]Patriarchy systems hold men as the primary figures in society. This has affected many culture and societies across the globe. 2. Men don't abuse women, because of testosterone. Testosterone is a chemical and some women are in fact born with a lot of testosterone, but this does not make them abusive. Abuse can stem from many factors, some of which come from the collective society believing and following a Patriarchal system. There are also issues like that of the Ego, dominance, because they want to, fear and other psychological factors and sometimes imbalances. 3. Women are also abusive, verbally and mentally. Again some of the reasons are the same as above. 4. Other systems and structures in history have been designed to put women at the bottom of the ladder, this includes other religions and cultures[/I][I]. As people sometimes do not question religion/culture, their psyche individually and collectively believe that the design and beliefs are true. When in fact a large majority are not. 5. Sikhism is a young religion and was very forward thinking for its time. However South Asian culture is still steeped in superstition, old beliefs and inequality. Yes babies are still being aborted. The death toll is high and that is another reason why I am doing this work. South Asian culture has not yet caught up with the idea that women are valuable. 6. The inequality of women is prevalent in many cultures, but some cultures have had movements, like here is the UK, to gain and promote the rights of women. This needs to be done more in South Asian cultures and religions, including Sikh Punjabi culture. 7. Yes Punjabi culture is made up of [/I]Afghani, Persian and Indo_Aryan and some beliefs have still stuck and filtered done into the minds, consciousness and culture. Thank you for the references (be good to get some links on the matter). So if we look at the history of Punjab, and Globally the systems of [I]Patriarchy we can start painting a picture as to why things are like they are. There are other factors too which I will discuss another time. [/I]With this understanding we realise there are many issues that have affected the mind set of individuals and collective consciousness. Now it is time to present and practice equality and educate people to slowly change and develop their consciousness. The results may not even be clear in our lifetime, but need to be worked towards all the same. [I] A more equal society, globally is possible. Sat Nam everyone. Peace and Harmony. [/I] [/QUOTE]
