Blame-Game!

"Behind every successful man, there is a woman."
You might have come across this quote in your lives at some point of time, through social media platforms. This quote simply means that women are the reason behind the success of a man. Women here can be mother, wife, daughter, or sister (mainly mother or wife though). This is one thing, which most people believe. This means that behind the success of #MukeshAmbani is his wife, Nita Ambani. This means behind the success of #ViratKohli is his mother.

But today people also say that, behind every unsuccessful man, there are two (women), or another woman. There are quotes online today like "A man's success has a lot to do, with the kind of woman he chooses to have in his life."
All these quotes simply mean that, women are the reason behind men's success as well their failures. There is basically no role of men in this, no work done by them. Everything is about having a woman or not having one in your life. Every mistake is of women, though she has her own life. The case with the woman is exactly opposite. We never say things like, because of a man, we aren't successful or we are successful.
Yes, family support is needed for doing something in life. But that doesn't guarantee success at all. Until and unless you work on your dreams, on your passion, no one can do anything for you. It's about your hard-work, which is going to pay off.

The whole idea here is, to show the reality of the society we today live in. If I'm successful, it has to do with me, not my husband or my not dad or my not brother. If you really want to do something, you can do it, on your own by fighting for it, even though people are trying to stop you or are against you.

I remember few incidents like when Virat Kohli wasn't performing, his wife (then girlfriend) was watching the match live in the stadium, people blamed his wife for it. People said she was distraction for him and they blamed her for his bad performance. Anushka Sharma said that, "I don’t want to take credit for his (Kohli’s) performance nor be blamed for his poor performance. My relationship with the person has nothing to do with my profession or the person’s profession,” in an interview with NDTV." Same incidents had occurred with Sania Mirza (wife of Shoaib Malik and a professional tennis player) and may be with more wives of cricketers.

They just go to stadium to watch the match and support or boost the morale of their spouses (some wives don't also go to watch the match but still are blamed). Why women are linked with bad performances of their male counterparts? Is it because they are couple? No one said anything when Virat's wife was there and he scored century or won match. No one gave Anushka credit for his wins.

Why everything has to do with women? Women are behind the success as well as failure of a man! What kind of stuff is this? How can you blame women for man's success? No one said anything to Virat, if Anushka Sharma's movie was not a hit. Isn't he a distraction for Anushka? No, why would he be? Because our society just allow women, to be blamed (they blame themselves) and drag them in man's life. If a male counterpart watches his wife's match, people would say he is such a "joru ka gulaam" which means slave of wives.

What a pity and sad world we live in today. Many women sacrifice their career, for their husbands, their kids and become homemaker and housewives, just for the sake of the family and if her husband isn't successful, it's her fault. If her kids aren't successful, it's her fault. What a concept it is!! We live in a society where if a husband beat his wife, it's okay (as if he has right to do so). If a woman beat her husband, she is dominant, cruel or psychopath. It is okay to obey your husband, but it isn't okay, to obey your wife in our society. SO CALLED MALE DOMINANT SOCIETY!!

**No one need anyone to be successful or unsuccessful. They just need to work hard towards their career, to be successful and if they don't, it's their own fault. (REGARDLESS OF THEIR GENDER)**
