Shakespeare, though the most intuitive writer the world has ever seen, seems to have made an erroneous statement when he commented “Frailty thy name is woman”
Even though Mother Teresa, Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Golda Mayor, Mary Curie, Ms. Geetha Gopinath, Giorgia Meloni, the Italian Prime Minister and Ursula Leyen, the President of European Commission are women, they are/were neither frail nor inferior to men in any sense.
Now, at the age of 70, (wisdom comes rather late!) I realise that the sweat of WOMEN must be acknowledged and their efforts must be appreciated with empathy and compassion. This is the age of LPG (Liberalisation , Privatisation & Globalisation) AI Pin, satellite communication, human rights and gender equality. It is high time women are respected, be they well-educated or ill-educated.
At the outset, women are yet to be recognized for their proficiency in multitasking, empathy, intuition, and emotional intelligence. They are blessed with many innate qualities due to biological, social, and psychological factors. What is blessed by nature. must be observed with reverence.
First and foremost, biologically women are found to be blessed with certain personality traits which foster love, care, and the rare quality to consider others first than being selfish. This may enhance their ability to process multiple streams of information simultaneously, leading to better multitasking skills. Feeding infants, looking after children, indulging in household chores and catering to the needs of their husbands, the so-called mighty species, when the latter are rereading the well-read newspapers or engaging in many serious activities such as mobile games, discussion on the politics of Micronesia or the Caribbean Islands or playing cards!
In addition, socially and culturally, women are often raised with an emphasis on caregiving roles, which foster empathy and emotional intelligence. From a young age, girls seem to be encouraged in many cultures to be attuned to others’ emotions and develop strong interpersonal skills.

Moreover, research suggests that women tend to have higher levels of
certain hormones associated with bonding and empathy. This biological factor might be one of the reasons why women are able to manifest their sensitivity to human relationships with love and compassion, and their most sought after quality of being empathetic, which few men are blessed with.
Furthermore, women’s intuitive abilities may stem from a combination of perceptiveness and emotional awareness, allowing them to pick up on subtle gestures or cues and non-verbal communication.
In conclusion, societal expectations and biological factors often enable women to cultivate these skills more prominently in women. This combination of factors helps sensible people to explain why women are often considered adept at multitasking, empathy, intuition, and emotional intelligence. Therefore, I presume that their unique qualities must be appreciated and acknowledged for the betterment of instinctive infants, innocent children, impulsive teenagers, nagging in-laws, the differently abled and the elderly. The earlier men, the so-called dominating minds in the roles of rulers, religious heads and polical leaders, render due respect to women, which they rightly deserve, the better it is for posterity. On the other hand, it must be noted that the world is not yet a place worth living mainly because of man’s selfishness and insatiable greed; the root causes of devastating wars and fierce fights based on caste, creed and religion. The art of killing the innocent and the vulnerable ones can be attributed to the animal instincts of man just to satiate their ego or to take revenge or avenge. It is time they changed these deplorable personality traits.
The gracious presence of women, in the roles of the mother, sister, daughter or wife, makes this world a reasonably peaceful place for humans to exist and to procreate.
In a male dominated patriarchical society, accepting women as fellow beings might be bit difficult for men, as they seem to have been raised in a society where equality of genders was tends to be a remote possibility. It must be noted that giving respect to women and taking respect, and considering them as equal to men in opportunities and human rights are prerequisites for a progressive society.
