I AM an staunch advocate of women’s rights but my daily observation has forced me to speak my conscience.

What, I have observed in my routine life is the growing inequality not towards women but towards men, especially in cases where women are qualified and working. It could be seen everywhere ranging from schools and universities to every other sphere of life.

For example, in universities women teachers largely discriminate against male students owing to their femininity, whereas male teachers are mostly seen indifferent towards male students because of the charm of women. This is really and unfortunate aspect of our society and must be changed.
