WE MEN.

I once saw a movie called 'MADAM'. Its an really good comedy. The movie had my favorite actor in it. 'Nagesh'. One of the greatest actors in the history of Indian Film Industry. The film's protagonist is a man who poses as a woman and eventually(mostly because of circumstances) starts fighting for women's rights. Although the situations he gets into are comical, he brings up a few (usually ignored) issues that women face everyday. The film also has a song dedicated to women, which is absolutely true in every sense.

Thinking about the topic, will make you realize how we have been oppressing women. Women have been told for ages that their place is in the kitchen and they are no good if they don't look good. Everyone praises the beauty of a woman and they have no idea whatsoever what kind of a person she actually is. Women have been chosen as Miss India and Miss Universe based on their beauty (according to a few people's definition of beauty) and not based on the work they do. How about proclaiming Ms. Indira Nooyi as Miss Universe for being the most successful woman in her field. Observe how incredibly well the system has been developed. Women have been told that beauty is the only valuable thing they possess and character means protecting their virginity from everyone else other than her husband. Men who are promiscuous are called Krishnas and women are called 'SLUTS'. Why aren't they called Radha? "Oh! I know. Because Radha was a good girl and she does not even think about the paraya mard ". Can you count the number of movies in which the hero lost his virginity to many woman and the heroine is a virgin? You bet your ass you can't. The word is INNUMERABLE.

Ask yourself the question "Why isn't it molesting when a man gets molested by women?", "Why do only women posses the divine 'sheelam'?". Apparently when a woman gets molested she is said to have lost her character (character is the English translation of sheelam). She is also said to have lost her dignity. How in god's name do you lose your character when you get molested. Hasn't the bastard who did it lost his dignity and character. Oh Crap!Look at the sentence I just wrote. 'BASTARD', the worst possible word I could think of is again targeted at a woman. We built our system based on the concept of discriminating and oppressing women. You might be laughing at one of the above questions right now. But take moment and think. What if your whole dynasty has been told for ages that you are no good if another person touches you or if someone forces themselves on you or if fight for your basic human rights? How would you be now? If you tell someone lies like that for ages they eventually become great truths. That process is called 'brain washing'.

In every movie the heroine or the hero's sister is threatened by the villain's evil eye. The only reason why heads of families object to their girl's freedom is because they don't want them getting molested by other MEN. IF THERE ARE NO MEN TO MOLEST A WOMAN, THEN WOULDN'T WOMEN BE FREE? Let's think beyond our naturally gifted and inherited insecurities and actually think of a girl/woman as a human being.

The best thing that we as fellow human beings can do is treat women as our equals. Lets not be assholes of Patna who molested a woman in broad daylight. Its our belief that woman only have beauty and our obsession with their bodies that have to be removed and destroyed. Lets be HUMANS.
