It is believed that the first man on earth was Adam (Adav) and the first woman was Eve (Eve). Through these, the human community continued to progress. When a developed society was formed, men took command of it. Even today, we live in a male-dominated society where patriarchy always seems to dominate. This social system made men supermen and women powerless. The responsibility of earning, running the family, taking decisions and always looking strong was imposed on men. Amidst these responsibilities, men were considered so strong that they started being discriminated against. Today 19 November and this day International Men’s Day Is being celebrated as. Have you thought about how society discriminates against men?
Boys’ feelings are suppressed since childhood
Psychiatrist Muskaan Yadav says that in our house, girls are father’s angels and boys are mother’s darlings. For a child, his parents are the first teachers in his life. Often in homes, boys are given more freedom than girls. Boys can roam out till late night, stand in the balcony in vests, hang out with friends but girls are kept inside the house in a veiled manner because they are the honor of the house. Boys are brought up in such a way that they are made mentally strong. Parents see their bright future in it. Since childhood, it is drilled into his mind that he has to take care of the family after his father. When a boy cries over something, he is immediately told that boys do not cry. While boys are also emotional, they also feel but the society has been suppressing their emotions since childhood.

Taunts are made for not reading
In society, boys are often considered ‘Aladdin’s lamp’. That means, whatever things he is asked to buy, he will buy them. This is the reason why when boys do not get good marks in school and college, then their parents and teachers themselves tell them that if they do not study, they will not get a job and then no girl will marry them. At the same time, even if girls get low marks, they are never taunted because their parents look for a boy for them who earns good money and does a good job. When a boy becomes marriageable, the first question the girl’s family asks him is, how much do he earn? If he does not earn well then it becomes difficult to get married. This rule is also in relationships. If a boy has money then girls show interest in dating him.

Men also face body shaming
When it comes to body shaming, girls always come to mind, but in the society we live in, men are also victims of body shaming, but they are never talked about. If the boy is dark then comments are made on him since childhood. If he is in showbiz, he is immediately rejected after seeing them. If a boy is of short height or has a protruding belly, everyone makes fun of him. If a boy is bald, girls don’t even like to see him. Many dramas and movies have also been made on this. Ayushmann Khurrana’s film ‘Bala’ was based on body shaming of men. The novel and drama ‘Parizad’ written in Urdu was also based on this discrimination among men. Celebrities like famous Bollywood producer Karan Johar, actor Rajkumar Rao, Vijay Verma, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Arjun Kapoor have also faced body shaming.
Women were groomed by men
It is said that behind every successful man there is a woman, but behind every successful woman there is a man too. It was men who were behind making girls stylish and beautiful. Women love to wear fashionable clothes and their fashionable dressing was started by Charles Frederick Worth of England. Charles is called the Father of Fashion Designers. Women also like jewelery very much. The credit for jewelery designing goes to Andrew Grima. He understood the preferences of women.
