India: Women empowerment at the cost of men’s liberties

Article here. Excerpt:

'WOMEN EMPOWERMENT, women equality, etc. seem to be the buzzwords these days with more and more articles coming about increased awareness amongst women about their rights. Since so many decades we have been hearing of these campaigns and they are still running. Feminists still seem to cry about women rights and women empowerment and women equality. For the past almost three decades women empowerment is happening and crores of rupees are spent on it every year and yet if the need for the same is felt, then either something is wrong with the women or their empowerment.

Whatever be the cause, in all this efforts by the various lobbies and groups, the real cost of women empowerment is being borne by men. Whenever men try to talk about their problems / rights / issues, they are subdued saying women empowerment is more important and their problems always take a back seat, when it comes to implementing solutions. And that is the reason in the past 60 years, not a single rupee has been spent for men’s welfare.'
