MY MIND, MY CHOICE; rather than “My Body my Choice.”

It is the tragedy of w-o-man (wife of man) that right from the first day of her appearance on this planet she has been taking care of her physical appearance on the basis of “my body my choice.” She has been spending money as well as every effort to decorate herself and present herself as a beautiful female figure. But she never thought about her mind’s cognitive and creative capabilities. As compared to man, her part in the fields of philosophy, science, art, and other intellectual activities and creativities has always been negligible. Modern neuroscience has proved that woman is more intelligent than man—as we have an oblong skull, neurons in her brain move from left to right and right to left covering shorter distance, while in man’s brain neuron move front to back and back to front travelling longer distance. I SAY IT IS WOMAN’S TRAGEDY, because even in modern age she is focused on her BODY rather than her MIND. Women need to change the slogan to, “MY MIND, MY CHOICE.” It is time they should know that the old saying by David Hume, “beauty is in the eye of beholder” is now obsolete; as today “BEAUTY IS IN THE MIND OF THE BEHOLDER.” Virginia Woolf, a beautiful woman has said, “There is no gate, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my [a woman’s] mind;” she clearly meant ‘her mind’ not her beautiful and attractive body. ~
