Make a shift from women's equality to gender equity by shunning role reversal ploys

Since 1973, August 26 is being observed as “Women's Equality Day” to commemorate the the 19th Amendment (1920) to the US Constitution that accorded women the right to vote. Consequently, a headway was made for treating women as equals in social, economic, health and rights as well as 'not be discriminated against on the basis of their gender.'

Amendment led a situation in which women were to be treated as citizens 'entitled the full rights and privileges, public or private, legal or institutional...available to male citizens.'

Unfortunately, due the amendment, role-reversal also started by making women to assume the roles of men and inducting women in the jobs which were male-inclusive. in many ways, women are different both biologically and cognitively. This led to the concept of gender equity instead of women's equality respecting the gender diversity that included male, female and other genders.


Here is my non-poem on wrongful gender role reversal

Diversity is beauty

Destroy not beauty

Through uniformity

Through similarity

Through competition

~*~

Attempt not

Promote not

Gender role reversal.

That will

Invoke masculinity in women

Foster male aggression in them

To destroy humanity

~*~

Give equal value

to females' innate qualities

Of fertility

Of producing

Of nurturing

Of emoting

Of caring

Of sharing

Of collaborating

Of cooperation

Of aesthetics

~*~
