How do we make people treat us neither as deities nor as doormats? How do we bring about the change? Are we waiting for a savior to come and help us? Some are strong enough to raise their opinions. What about those who understand the unequal behavior but can never manage to express their expectation of being treated as an equal?
Have you heard anyone saying 'It is so nice that her husband /brother/father let her do it', I have heard it many times and I am not even talking about uneducated people, some of them happen to be from my own family. If we want to bring a change we don't even need to go out, it needs to start with our own family. Raising daughters as an equal and never asking sons 'Are you a girl to cry'!
