Question of gender inequality

Why is it that whenever there is any talk of values, it is women’s behaviour, their dress, their attitude that comes into question, even though there are more men than women in India? Societal values and morality should apply to everyone, men and women, these are perception of positive people.  
We always knew women were capable, strong, responsible, caring. But must they for all time to come also be the only ones to carry the burden of upholding societal “values”, whatever these are? Why is it that whenever there is any talk of “values”, it is women’s behaviour, their dress, their attitude that comes into question? How come that when there are more men than women in India, and their numbers will continue to grow as the trend to eliminate girls before birth also keeps pace, they are not asked to think about their attitudes, their behaviour?
There were incident of which photographs of men and women consuming alcohol and or afew couples dancing and kissing at a private party, behind closed doors, or at places where they presume no one present, were posted at social networking site. This blatant intrusion into the privacy of individuals was completely overlooked by almost all people, literate or illiterate.
In such case where under the Constitution men and women are equal? Where kissing in private or in public is not a crime? Where drinking alcohol in private or in public is not a crime, with the exception of a few States that have a specific policy?
What is even more extraordinary is that the ire of the morality folk was directed entirely at women. Men can drink, apparently, but women should not. By the same measure, are we to presume that men can kiss but women should not? It sounds absurd but the entire episode has been so completely farcical that one can hardly believe that it took place at all.
In the 1980s, for instance, there was considerable difference on the portrayal of women in the media. While some women, usually belonging to the more conservative right wing parties, attacked hoardings and advertisements that displayed women’s bodies to sell products and argued that such depictions were against “Indian values”, other women’s groups were more concerned about stereotyping and negative images of women that the media perpetuated.
Societal values and morality should apply to everyone, men and women.
And they must extend beyond the way people dress or behave to a whole gamut of other issues and attitudes. Is it “moral” that our society continues to discriminate against people on the basis of their caste or community? Is it “moral” that children die every day in India from starvation while we boast of our economic growth rate? Is it “moral” that medical technology is used to eliminate girls even before they are born?
These are some of the questions we should ask.
