End of Patriarchy

With the end of a generation, will patriarchy end?

With our grandparents no longer with us, will these ancestral norms of society cease to exist? Or will there still be people who will be modern in their outlook but deep inside will be the carriers of the patriarchy they inherited from their forefathers? Will a son and a daughter be treated as equals again?

Will a son and a daughter get the same fair level of education?

Will the end goal of a girl's life change to supporting her family just like her brother?

Will she be allowed to study after she turns 18?

Will she get equal wages like her male counterpart?

Will she be stopped from being looked at as a burden?

Will she be considered a boon or will she still be considered a bane?

Will she be free of the chains that hold her back?

Or will the newer generations also curb her wishes?

Will the mother whose wishes were curbed, who was married off at the age of 18, dropped out of college also make here daughter drop out when she turns 18?

Will she be married too?

Will the mother whose sister was killed while still a foetus also kill an unborn girl child?

Will the father who was a witness of her sister's death who was thrown in the river on the day that she died also kill her daughter in the same way? 

Will the father who saw her sister cry on being made to do all the household work, also make her daughter do the same?

Will parents stop telling their daughters about how they will be married off someday?

Will parents start telling their daughters how they would become strong pillars of society and bring a change?

With the end of a generation, will our outlook towards things change?

Will the mother who was ill-treated by her family stand up when her daughter is ill-treated

The answer to this only lies within the end of the generation.

What the newer generation has to offer and how rational they become when it comes to changing the way society perceives things.Because ultimately it is they, you and me who make a society. With a generation's death, we would have an unmoulded clay to shape and redefine patriarchy to equality.
