Breaking the Glass Ceiling

In the course of social evolution, selective and complex, skewed customs placed men in the lead, women behind, for they are deemed the weaker gender, born unequal in the nonpartisan world under blue sky of freedom for everyone, to obey and to follow, subjugated. As the dark clouds of imposed illiteracy and obdurate poverty drift slowly away, the sun of aspiration shines equally with dreams for everybody, and as the archaic social norms crumble in the egalitarian cauldron, women see the light of emancipation at the end of the ancient tunnel. It’s time for the tenets of human right to redesign the frayed social fabric. Let not gender divide unevenly the opportunities and obligations. The captive womenhood would then be free to reach where men are, breaking the contrived glass ceiling.
