Except for certain physiological differences, which enables them to give birth to children, women are no different than men. On the other hand, men can't give birth to children! Women, by and large, form one half of the human beings the world over. This difference in physical strength makes women weaker and insecure of the two; both physically and psychologically. Other reasons for women to be vulnerable to men are the feminine beauty and the sexual attraction which men have towards women.

Men as fathers, husbands, sons, near and dear ones, peers and even male strangers want to dominate women daughters, wives, mothers, female near and dear ones, female peers and strangers. There may be numerous reasons for this domination. Some of these are difference of opinion, social conduct, monetary gains, career progression and sexual.

Knowing fully well that men get attracted towards feminine beauty, women make all out efforts to display the same and expose themselves by putting on obscene dresses and make up. This is one area, where women are by themselves responsible for becoming the target of persecution. They need to dress up and make up appropriately so as not to become a center of attraction for men. Not that this will altogether stop the persecution of women at the hands of men, it will certainly reduce the same.

Persecution of women at the hands of men has been in practice ever since the advent of mankind. Although lot of development has taken place in socio-political, socio-economic, scientific and almost all other fields, man is yet to socially develop to that level where the persecution of women becomes a story of the past. Men continue to act on their whims and, given the opportunity, don't hesitate to dominate women even if they have to physically abuse them. They need to exercise restraint on their animal like instinctive sexual behaviour.
