Women can never be understood. This is one notion every man that I meet has.
Well, to a certain extent it is true. I myself can't really understand myself. But what about you men? Do you understand yourself?
I personally believe that every human being is in a constant state of change. Changes in external factors causes changes in our behavior as well. To be your complete self to the outer world is never encouraged. The only thing that makes us believe that we understand ourselves is ego. Ego which makes one resistant to changes.
Don't worry! My real intent of writing this post has nothing to do with introspection. Don't stop reading yet.
As the title suggest, this piece is going to be related to female complexities. Female complexities that our country has come up with. Complexities like, "PATI PARMESHWAR", every woman should be a homemaker, a woman can't survive alone, and the main complexity, a woman not dressed properly is to be blamed if she is raped.
I had recently read in one of the case studies : "TOO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY AND NO AUTHORISATION" . Apt name to give to the role of women in Indian societies.
Someone please explain to me in comments how wearing the apt clothes cures a mind of a sick pervert? Here is food for thought : Most women who are raped are wearing the APT CLOTHES. Many say that it depends on the time of the day. Really? So with the sun, a woman's right to choose her sexual partner also goes away, only to come back tomorrow morning? Yes, society has a norm, and should be followed. But what sort of society norm ignores the crimes of men and turn a female victim into a girl who was inviting the trouble?
It makes me sick. To know how people with power misuse their powers. "TOO MUCH AUTHORIZATION, AND VERY LITTLE RESPONSIBILITY".
It makes me even more sick to hear a woman criticize a female rape victim.
And no, molestation should not go unpunished either. Why did the 17 year old girl in Guwahati get molested. What motivates anyone to harm a child? What sort of revenge a man gets by raping a girl?
A rapist does not really need a motivation to rape. He just needs his sick mind. And all those who criticize rape victims and make their lives a living hell, well maybe your mind needs to be diagnosed as well. Day in and day out, we hide our sick minds with cover of cultural and society norms. The cover will keep you safe and is a luxury, until it happens to you. So wake up now, and start protesting against these crimes against women. Not because women are DEVIS. Because they are human beings.

Huh what bout crimes against men ;)
ReplyDeleteWell Vidisha the I believe the entire mechanism of the institution called society is self automated to exploit. I dunno if there is a method to the madness but there is always a reason.
As u sit and write this blog there is someone somewhere taking advantage of this Girl's suffering. Her acquaintances have new topic to talk bout barring their mundane life, some women rights organization is raising funds, etc, political agendas are being made and yet another GIRL is being violated.
When the REASONING stops the HYPOCRISY will stop too
well ... what i m going to write now may seem quite non-sense ... but somewhere according to me it makes a sense ... here we are talking about a community ... WOMEN ... Do u realize in a way you girls yourself are responsible for these complexities ... You have learnt How to chitchat on an issue .... How to blame someone .... but Standing for anything haven't came into existence for you by now even .... A family is safe if all of its member stand for the cause .... If you want to be strong .... First work out your weakness .... Only Blaming Lames you more ... :) English k liye sorry :P
ReplyDeleteNo. Thanks for now generalizing ... But do these Ifs and woulds really drive our lives.
