do men support women's reservatiion bill?

if anybody ask me this question, i would say 'NO'. I do not support women reservation bill.
Few years back, when i was at home, i was taught by my parents that domestic chores especially cooking, washing etc are the duties of a woman. men can 'sometimes' help in outdoor activities (weeding, harvesting etc). but he is never supposed to do cooking or washing! I thought that was correct. This is the problem of the society.
I belong to a family and a region where men is dominant in 'democratic' way! Historically ladies are supposed to be for feed, breed and creed. The modern democracy perpetuates this in the name of tradition or caste or class. It is true that woman can not hunt when she is full pregnant. But does that mean she is uncapabale or inferior? The rule of nature can not be interpreted interms of 'dominance' within a creed. Except human being, to my knowledge, none of the living being treat their partner/s as inferior or superior. When a man treat a woman as inferior, he also belong to the inferior class. if a woman treat herself as inferior or a male counter partner as superior she belong to the victim of dominancy. Then you might be thinking why do I oppose the reservation bill. This bill ensures only one-third reservation of parliamentary seats to the women. To me they are eligible for 50% of total seats. This system should not cultivate another 'reservation'system such as caste reservation. The fundamental problem is not about parliament seats.
infront of a starved person even if s/he belongs to upper or lower caste, food is the major threat. Infront of a suppressed woman, freedom from suppression is the prime concern. I hope the women reservation bill is for fullfilling the ultimate aim of uplifting the women from historical, traditional, religious, cultural and political dominance of men. I do support a bill for 50% reservation for women and men in parliament. Above all i support the freedom of thinking..

  1. Again? Why do women need reservation? In a country where first person is a women, the country is led by a women, the parliment is chaired by a women and all these happened before the reservation! The moment you start giving reservation to a group you are labeling them as 'incapable' otherwise! So, again why do indian women need reservation?

  2. i think women need reservatin dear friends. physically women are less strong compared to men, eventhough they are mentally more strong with respect to things like multitask mangement and stress survival and so on.... ..since independence, men are ruling India and see the results.....still we are a developing world with very huge gender inequality in all the sectors....why it happened ....if women were given enough chances and respect in the society it would have been different in the sense a more better situation.. it does not mean women are incapable.. getting a chance is difficult for them... Inorder to getting out of this situation give women an equal chance by implementing the so called reservation bill in a country, where women are considerered as weak
