The Sacred Feminine!

By Sarah Mahmood

While the debate underneath is actually a pretty long one with multi-faceted ends, the Pensive today aims to do just one thing – ward off the veil of superficiality from the eyes of a woman, any woman on earth irrespective of her caste, creed, or religion.

The equality debate, yes the equality debate it is.

The sad part is that the one blessed with the ability to produce life has started considering her own strength a weakness! All on the mere whims of some God-forsaken entity, which is bent upon scattering the last remains of sense there are in the world.

No one (that is, no one with some amount of sense in their head) denies her mental and intellectual capabilities, which she is free to use wherever and whenever she wishes to. The unique capability of child-bearing and rearing however is but her own, her own to cherish and take pride in. Why then, is the woman of today considering this a shackle in her feet, a hindrance in the ‘bright career’ that the outer world has to offer (and which incidentally is nothing but another illusion, a fraud)?
