This year women’s day, the official pledge will be the parity for women. I do believe women should given the equal status and equality in everything. There is no argument about that. However, my article today will be focus on why men should support this. Actually it is our duty as human being to support such a reasonable pledge. Addition that, collectively as men, we will too have benefits from such a pledge in every dimension in our life.
Pledge for parity is saying no for bully
We are not living in cave age. This is a modern society where civilization is highly implemented in most of parts of the world. We no longer need aggressive men in any place of our work places. What we all need is brilliant people who can work with each other to bring the synergy into the business body, not someone promote ancient master-slave relationship which operate with carrot or stick. That era is gone. We need equal opportunities to demonstrate our inner talents. Pledge for parity in work place for women is about giving value for the talents of a person, not their mussel power or aggressiveness.
Pledge for parity is saving us from nepotism
I worked for a company in Sri Lanka, where men lead the most powerful positions. I felt good about it for time being, until I found out it is men from certain boy’s school from my country. I am a citizen of that country, where most of cabinet ministers are men, however it also does not make me feel happy, as again most of them are from that boy’s school. Ladies, do you think being a man bring us everything. No, we too fight the same battle for dignity and to be treated fair enough for our talents. Next time when you count how much percentage men occupy certain industry, for the shake of god, go deeper than gender. It is not about gender. It is about favoring to families, alumnus and friends’ circle. So pledge for parity for women is a good start to break this ugly traditions where untalented losers are getting asylum of.
Pledge of parity is about getting paid for what we offer
There is limited places on earth we know each others salary. The salary is highly kept secrete between manager and employee, which gives space for many unfair situations. Writing details will lead this article to a thesis, however we all know the salary is not all about talents and skills. As I already mentioned, this is a modern era of civilization. We must bring a better platform for compensation rather than getting temporary profit from someone could not fight for a better pay. This pledge will be a starting point for a better platform of compensations.
This pledge is for your daughter
We all know a daughter in family is the most precious thing for a man in his all life. I do not accept the Sigmund Freud's explanation about it, however, I got to know how strong that feeling when I saw tears in my sister’s husband when they got their first baby girl was born. You may feel safer when men rules around you. However, when your baby girl fight with men’s rules in future cooperate world, you will feel the importance of this pledge.
Pledge for parity is about synergy
What does your woman bring you to your life? Count the blessing your lady brought to your personal life. Those blessing are due to synergetic effect of two human element. For decades, catalyst industry was about monometallic, single metals was used in many forms to see a success. People reached limitations of monometallic catalyst. Then, in 1970s pioneers such as Sinfelt tried combine version of metal catalysts which brought down extraordinary success, specially to petroleum industry. 50 men and 50 women is not 100. It is more than that. It is the power behind the synergy.
However, the pledge of parity should be deeply considered not to make the same mistake which is right now happening ugly in men’s world. Give talented one parity. It should not be a fight of entering where you do not belong using a trend happening right now in globe. It should be pledge of parity for talents, qualifications and strength. Otherwise, the same ugliness which had occupies the men’s world will run deeply to the future world.
Wish every women happy women’s day! Let fight for parity for humanity. You can do better than fighting for yourselves.

Thank you for comment. I agree to some extent. There are millions of women across the women who need basic needs to be fulfilled. Unfortunatly, these movements are design by women who wanted for nothing in their entire life, who never known any form of violence. World need people who understand the reality. However, my article is just based on the title of this women's day.
I'd go for something more basic than 'parity'
I'd say respecting women would be a good first step for a lot of men.
no 'cat-calling'
no 'eve-teasing'
no misogynistic remarks/comments.
no sneering at women's natural functions.
no belittling or undermining women's achievements.
no exploiting women.
no abusing women.
Men can still be men without all of these things (and more).
It is one of my biggest concern. Some lazy people exploit the global movement for women in order to get chance or give chance to their favorite people for relative. It is a few fraction of people among us doing this, however impact is huge.
Pledge for parity? Interesting.. Whilst i am all for equality.. Seems like they want the office jobs more .. How abt the rest of work the men are doing?
I do think sometimes agendas are taken way beyond their context.
Anyway.. 2 cents. Cheerios
