Gender Bias vs. Genius’ Struggle

This website’s goal is to facilitate the emancipation of potential genius. While this could come about fairly easily in families with open mind and hard-working parents, the challenge remains tremendous and almost insurmountable with the rest of the population. Gender bias is one stumbling block that hinders progress of great personalities in the making. Do you disagree with this statement of mine? Congrats, lucky you! I guess that you belong to

  1. a developed country
  2. the urban setup
  3. an educated family
  4. a secure financial background.

Even if you may not be part of all the four, at least two of these factors pushed you to say ‘No’ to me. Did I get it right?

Well, most developing ( or under-developed, to put it honestly) countries, conservative families and financially backward societies adopt the ‘Crisis Management Strategy’ when it comes to nurturing the genius in a child; They have no problem accepting the male child’s blossoming - anybody’s guess why - simply because he would be the conventional ‘bread winner’ in the future.

What is the relevance of this topic to people like us, concerned about our own children ? That too, at an age of single-child policy of families? Well, relevance, there is.

The very fact that you could go on line and read this page indicates that your child is likely to be supported at every step of her childhood to bring out the best in her. Still there could be hurdles - in the form of mental blocks on the  parents’ behalf.

in most cases, the minds of the adults in the family are  completely conditioned with conservatism, rigid with certain old beliefs and struggling to accept the changing times. If yours is one belonging to this category, then you may read on. If negative, please say a Thanks Giving prayer to the Almighty and move forward to open the next door of knowledge to your lucky kid.

The family’s support could take the budding genius a long way. But where it is denied, one member of the family- that should  be YOU- could help her out.  All you need to do is ENCOURAGE the child. Help keep the fire in her burning.

Remember, you got your child vaccinated against several dreaded diseases. And you know for sure that those shots would shield her all through her life. What you do now by encouraging and standing by her intellectual needs is quite similar to this. You are simply ensuring freedom and success in her adult life.

With this service of yours, your child would confront the gender bias hands down, march ahead to become a genius, not thanks to the family, but in spite of it!
