Should women be considered as weaker sex?

THAT'S the million-dollar question that always arises, especially when I am travelling in BEST bus.

I am always in a fix whether to offer my seat to the ladies who are standing. I understand if she is an old or a pregnant lady, but in other cases, I just cannot decide.

Actually I fight with my conscience in such cases. Because I do not want to think and for that matter consider that women are weaker to men. Why should I sympathise with them? By offering our seats we are proving that they are WEAK.

Today we see women not just walking shoulder-to-shoulder but also surpassing men's in all walks of life. They have come out of the shadow of dependence. These are the women of 21st century. They are strong, confident and bold. In fact in many cases I have seen that men are dependent on the women.

But that doesn't mean that I am against the reservation of women seats in public transport. They should be given seats first considering the jam-packed buses in peak hours.
