It is easy to talk about equality but tougher to follow it. It’s easy to say that women need men only to have a child. No, women and men needs each other throughout their life. This is how it is meant to be. Men are indeed the best part of a woman's life. Please, do not forget to acknowledge it. Just look at your parents and think for while what if they had thought the same. Would you have survived?

Men are the ones who make women's lives beautiful. Yes, I agree, there are some monsters roaming around this world but claiming that only men are monsters, wouldn’t be right. We judge people and become fault finders, but never stop to think that we are at fault too. Let’s talk about making this world better. Let’s not talk about female equality but instead talk about gender equality.
