GENDER EQUALITY


Gender equality is a hot subject

Gender inequality is injustice

Thoughtful arguments persists

Gender equality a real solution

In education, employment, opportunities

A concern of justice always to highlight

Genders the great wisdom they require

The great victory they awaits

A world of equality and justice

The thoughtful moments for joy

Happiness ever must be there

Gender equality a great freedom.


“Gender equality a hot subject”

-The poet is trying to say that gender equality has been a big issue at that time.

-Gender equality will always be a never-ending debatable issue amongst the society.

-For example, issue of feminism that has been around since 18th Century.


“Gender inequality is injustice”

-The author opened our views on how different genders are treated differently.

-We have been blaming each other and it leads to discrimination amongst us.


“Thoughtful arguments persists”

-As we are living in a community, there are a lot of arguments regarding this issue.

-Whenever there is a problem, various opinions came out to an extent it creates a chaos.

-How could we unite if all we do is arguing with each other?


“In education, employment, opportunities”

-In this line, the poet tries to prove where gender inequality has usually taken place in our life.

-For instance, in education, the perspective that most people have is that women are smarter than men.

-In an opportunity in employment, the society has a stigma that women are weak. In fact, it is said that men are better than women as men are emotionally and physically stronger.


“The great victory they awaits”

-The author knew that we have been wanting to reach gender equality in the society.

-However, with the power of one humankind, the long awaited triumph will not be achieved.

-They “great victory” symbolises the gender equality they have been wanting for.


“The thoughtful moments for joy, Happiness ever must be there”

-The poet said that the happiness ever would be there when they have achieved gender equality.

-To achieve that, a community as a whole should give the same treatmentsto everyone regardless of their genders.

                  

“Gender equality a great freedom.”

-The poet made us ponder about something.

-How this world could be a better place if we are treated equally without discrimination, we will live a normal, harmony life being united with the society.

A Poem about Gender Inequality by Safwan Aziz

A POEM ABOUT GENDER INEQUALITY “What is gender? Is gender an identity? Certainly gender is not a choice. But gender is shaped, molded to young new minds, strings hang from children’s joints to dance as society tells them No matter man or woman, we are born into roles. The woman, the one whose mind stands and pleads on her legs, bring about equality But whose body reacts not out of her own accordance and moves Moves, graceful, gentle, elegant, and FEMININE. As society tells her, she is a woman, and that is her role. Where she wishes to stomp, she stands on her tiptoes. Where she wishes to thrash, she glides across the floor. A puppet bound by the hands of society, pushing, pushing To free herself, to change what being a woman means, what (gender) equality means. The man, he is castrated by the hands to be a MAN. What does that mean? Better put, what does that mean to society? I don’t dance. I am the example to others, and know how to do everything I...

The life of the mind, a nose in the books   Is quite at odds with masculinity.   But the brains that do somehow prevail The dumbing down of manliness  Find themselves in lesser posts, Ridiculed, shamed, and embarrassed.   For why would a man pursue intellect, If he could chase a ball? He must be a nerd, a geek, an outcast – Hardly a man at all.   Never too quick and never too bright And of course we’ll never get your birthday right. We can’t cook and we can’t clean. We need a woman to do just about everything.   Yet still you’ll find some strange school pride In the sex drive worn on our sleeve. Somehow...
