My son,

My son,
Men and women are not equal
Yes again,
Men and women are not equal
Oops, its injustice, ain't it? Listen.

She can learn and get ranks equal to you,
She can earn well like you and spend it on her wish,
She can save, buy and sell.
She can be a pilot, captain and a leader.

She is as strong as you.
Trust me my son,
Your father can't score better than Mithali Raj
Your uncle can't fight and beat Mary Kom
Your Grandpa can't win over Sindhu or Saina.
It's all about practice. Not gender.

She can bleed, give birth, feed and bear the pain without rest,
She can embrace her scars as her beauty marks
She can love, care and nurture.
Her shoulders are strong, kind and hardworking.

She can drive, dance and sing.
She is ferocious, warm and beautiful.
She can cook, is clean and confident.
If she can do more than you,
Say, how are men and women are equal?
