Will You Take Orders From A Girl? Discuss


Actor John Abraham in an interview said it was sad but true that men don't like to take orders from women. "It's sad, but men often find it difficult to take orders from women. We may want to think otherwise, but this is the truth. I don't understand why we can't take women seriously. It's high time things changed," he said. 
 

Once known to be a male dominated industry, Bollywood is slowly opening its arms to women actors in every role. "Choreography was considered a stricly man's medium. But things have changed in the past decade. I am happy that women have carved a niche for themselves in almost every spectrum, in every industry. There are more camerawomen in Bollywood than men today," ace choreographer-cum-filmmaker said. 

But does that mean that women can give orders and they will be carried out? Actress Kajol says our society still has a long way to go before this becomes a reality. "It's inbuilt in our system that men are decision makers. They are the ones who know what is right and what is not. It will take a lot un-learning to transform this into reality," she said. 

Youth Reporters Agree That They Find It Difficult To Take Orders Coming From A Girl 

It's strange. I wouldn't say no to my mother's orders. But I don't like it when my classmates tell me to act in a certain way or do something. I cannot pin point to a reason but maybe because we feel girls can't take better decisions. I maybe wrong but that is what most of us boys think. 

Satish Rai (name changed), class XII, Bal Bharti School, Delhi 

Yes I wouldn't take orders from a girl classmate because I feel we both have the same level of understanding of a subject. But with my mother or my elder sister, I know they have more experience in the matter and hence their advise is valuable. It is not a gender thing. 
 

Ritvik Shah, class X, Delhi Public School 

I think this is true both ways. I won't take orders from a boy too. I feel we are from different planets and our mental wavelenghts just don't match. There is no use taking orders from someone whom you don't trust. 

Aditi Pal, class VIII, St Mary's School, Bangalore 


I don't think it is a gender issue, but something to do with the age we are in. I don't like it if my seniors or classmates oder me around - be it a boy or a girl. I would only take orders from my parents and close relatives. The rest depends on my discretion, mood.

Taking order from a girl or a boy should not involve EGO issues as both the genders are on the same platform . We should not compare the situations as taking orders from your mother or a girl from your class, this is all about respecting GIRLS. But the girls should also not take advantage that you don''t listen to any orders or discussion from boys. Respect the views of opposite gender.

aaryan SAMASHTI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, Kollur

Not exactly orders but i can take suggestions and also i can do things which she want as a friend . But for that i have to see that is she a girl whom i can trust and believe on.

MANAS KUMAR BAL BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (PITAM PUR

Yes of course why not if the need arises that a girl is the leader supervising in any team and I am a part of that, so why won''t I take order from her. I think such kind of patriarchal mindset should be erased from society because this creates gender discrimination.

MANAS KUMAR BAL BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (PITAM PUR

If we won''t respect girls then how can we expect the development of the society and nation. Typical male dominance leads to gender discrimination and suppression of girls ideas. We should do listen to them and if required should even take orders what''s the problem in that? At school level we should do listen to each other and abide in girls also. However, it also depends on the situation but I think that everyone should co-operate with each other.

V.Ananya D.A.V. Public School

Taking orders from a girl isn''t that different from obeying our mothers or teachers (who are mostly women) , who make us good people . So, same amount of respect must also be given to every other women /girl .

Onkarpreet Bhavan Vidyalaya

I really don''t think that taking orders from the opposite gender should matter. But it matters from person to person. Sometimes, EGO matters, or sometimes perspective.

S.VIDHYAALAKSHMI SHREE NIKETAN MAT -

Girls are always right on making a decision. It may be a project work or some other. But I don''t think that my classmates don''t take my order they always allow me to express my views.

Hafsa Malwat F D SCHOOL

Yes , there is problem with gender. We should take order if it''s right. We should not see the gender. Girl''s order may be wrong and may be Boy''s. We should identify who is right.

Good article ...

R Somesh Skanda BHARTI KRISHNA VIDYA VIHAR

Good one

Prakash.B Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

I won''t consider it as an order i will take it as a request ...and i will help them..

Haya Naved FATHER AGNEL SCHOOL(GAUTAM NAGAR)

I think taking orders from anyone either male or female is wrong. But I feel ordering is something awful since nobody gave us the right to order anyone. We can request or ask the person to do a certain work and I don''t think a sensible person would deny if you request him something.

APARNA.V Amalorpavam Higher Secondary School - Puducherry

No it doesn''t do something with gender

BHARATHY.K Amalorpavam Higher Secondary School - Puducherry

It is not a gender issue.We must think over the orders and not the gender.we must also respect the views of others.

Vihan R. Yalamanchili DDMS P.OBUL REDDY PUBLIC SCHOOL

I would take orders from a girl in the classroom, and she and I would be at the same level of understanding. However taking orders from elders like mothers and elder sisters is different as they are wiser and always will try to help you.

Aditi Sahi D C MODEL SCH PKL-SEC-7

Yes, I guess it has to do something with gender issue because in most household men are the decision maker and this affectes the way boys behave when a girl orders them.

Yashita Nagpal BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (SWASTHYA VHR)

It all depends on compatibility and understanding.

Darshil Shah ST. XAVIERS - LOYOLLA -2 LOYOLLA 2

Girls definitely can be an efficient leader. They too have the quality and potential in them to become a good and effective leader and thus lead everyone.

Harini.V Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

If someone says a good idea or opinion, we can accept it. Gender doesn''t matter for it. But our society is not well developed to accept an idea or order from women. Male chauvinism is still prevailing in the mjnds of few men.

KAVYASRI R M Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

Taking orders from the opposite gender is not a big issue.If they suggest a good one,following that is not a matter.sometime ego may restrict us in taking such decisions.

Yashaswini nand Army Public School

In India , girls have never been able to give orders to men in any field... It would be a great development in India when men will start obeying orders given by women and also women will be having the courage to stand for themselves.

Mahima Pradhan LEXICON INTERNATIONAL LEXICON INTER

Everyone''s opinions are oscillating between two extremes of a spectrum. In my opinion, if the girl has a valid reason and is correct, the boys should listen to her without thinking that it might hurt their ego. Similarly, girls shouldn''t feel that they are being subjected to gender bias if they have to take orders from a boy. It is as simple as that.

Pragyamita Basu B.D.M. International

Boys and girls are all same so taking orders from either of them are not different from each other.

Rajashri Radjane Amalorpavam Higher Secondary School

Actually the question itself is not fair. What is matter between genders in orders. Each one has their own way of opinions and thinkng capabilities. We cannot compare and we should just select the best rather than gender partiality.

B. Tulasitharini Amalorpavam Higher Secondary School - Puducherry

John Abraham is right.And there should not be ego this is for both a boy and girl

SHUBHAM BANSAL RYAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

its not about orders. in class we all are friends and friends give advice , suggestions not ORDERS.

Payal Taparia BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (SWASTHYA VHR)

I think it depends on one''s perspective.

Kashish Goel Bal Bharati Public School

Following the orders or not completely depends on the situation and the attitude of the person.

Kashish Goel Bal Bharati Public School

Following the orders of girls is a sign of respect, according to me.

Afsha Saiyed PADUA HIGH SCHOOL-MANKHURD

I don''t think that taking orders from a girl matters much. .A girl can be the captain of any group and as a captain team member have to take her orders .I don''t think it has something to do with gender!

CAROLINA GNANAPRAKASH Kendriya Vidyala / AVADI

Gender plays no role here.Instead of considering it as an order,take it as a request and proceed.Also, this kind of attitude must be mutual.

Kritika Berry Delhi Public School

Taking orders or suggestions from a girl isn''t a condescending task.With such tremendous progress in our country towards the empowerment of women and equal rights for girls , there should be definitely no problem regarding this issue. Dominance of the male society over them does not curb this issue. Instead, we should accept there ideas and work together towards a more progressive future.

C.Prasanna Amalorpavam Higher Secondary School - Puducherry

I''d doesn''t depend on the gender but depends on what kind of order it is.
