A Point to Ponder

Hello everyone, today's post is not my story to tell, it's hero is Mr Gimhan Sooriyabandara, my debating mentor. The story is a representation of how backwards mindsets still exist today. Lemme cut to the chase.

So, on a simple evening, Mr. Gimhan sees a certain post that somewhat looks like the one below.

And being a teacher and coach who work with both male and female students and see the progress the female students are making, Mr Gimhan puts his viewpoint through.

By 2040,50 we'll see all positions being handled by girls. The current executives were in school and college in the 90's, and girls still didn't have full freedom. The current generation will take over in a few decades

And that brings us to the end of this story.

Education should be a fair game irrespective of gender, race, wealth... Also, being fair with women doesn't make you any less of a man...

Unfortunately, we still live in a transitional era where acceptance of gender equal progression is not universal. That would only hinder the universal acceptance. Hope you enjoyed this story, what are your views of this? Let us know in the comments.
