Is smoking bad... Yes it is! Is it wrong if a girl smokes... No it is just wrong if anybody smokes. It's wrong that there's a statutory warning on the packet but never is the production of this life destroying smoke producing paper roll stopped.
Just recently I happened to overhear a woman at a beach comment, 'Look at that girl in short skirt smoking'.
I was aghast at that. No! Not at the short skirt, no no not even at the smoking! I was shocked to hear a woman comment on a woman. I had objection, first about the comment on the short skirt. The girl was carrying it with ease and was comfortable. That's that. Now the comment on the smoking. The girl was smoking and smoking in general is prohibited in public places and is injurious to any living being be it of any gender.
Where does this originate from? From the long seeded, wrong ideologies fed into women in our country by women. Passed from generation to generation.
Woman eats after the men in the house. Woman cannot study men can. Woman can't do a job men can. Woman can't wear clothes of her choice because it reveals parts of her body which supposedly excite spineless men, men can! Woman can't smoke. No one should.
Times have changed they say... Which part of the country?
Woman pilots a plane but still air hostesses bear the brunt of a power- money- alcohol driven passenger. Woman have reached the space, Woman work in night shifts, Woman runs a household... a country ... but sadly rape stats in our country are leaping by the bounds. Times have only changed not mind set.
Is it always necessary to ask a rape victim, 'what clothes were you wearing when you were raped...?'
Why is it so essential to know the clothing? For Gods' sake even if Adam would have forcefully plunged onto Eve without her consent it would still be rape. And no the apple wouldn't be guilty Adam would!
It happens in so many household practically every night. Why no body stands up to it? Because that's how it is supposed to be. Man are the supreme species. God's gift to mankind and women. Ask women? Why do you pity yourself so much? You are and shall always be the stronger of the two genders. Just stop saying,'Now we are working shoulder to shoulder with you men.' You are not marching with us any more. Emotionally, mentally, intellectually ...you, yes you women are much ahead of us men, yes we men!
Just realize it, value it and then make us conditioned to it.
We are what you make of us. So go ahead don't talk of gender bias because you are the one who is biased about your on womanhood. Don't talk of inequality as you are the one who is considering it as inequality.
Tabloids carry statistical data and percentages on woman rape victims. Why victim? Just heard the other day from another woman, 'Why don't women consider rape as a fracture, after a fracture you get back to your work you take your life as it is.' True! Why ask a woman, 'Do you feel stronger or weak after rape.' Why doesn't someone turn around and ask the man, 'How ugly do you feel after committing such a heinous crime?Do you feel like killing yourself?'
But then that is how it is. The criminal commits the crime and the so called victim is made to feel like a criminal. The criminal may be prosecuted and given due punishment in some cases but by then the so called victim is reprimanded every minute.
So go girl... it's your fight against your gender ... we nowhere stand a chance. We the self proclaimed patriarch are nowhere in the race. You are pitted against your own. Stop having mercy on yourself and take pride in the fact that you were thought fit by the creator to bear a life in your womb and not we men. You were thought resilient to bear the pain of a delivery and not we men. You were thought apt to drop the first drop of life into life and not we men. You were thought seamless to nurture a life not we men. Even the creator chose you. You, women! Now just stand by your worth, not shoulder to shoulder with us... Just with species of your own kind. Be women for women and not women against women.
And yes short skirts fine but smoking! Smoking is injurious to health.

There's no doubt that girls enjoy much more freedom in today's India compared to yester-years. But the situation is far from being a happy one. Even our political leaders don't do much in this regard. Unfortuately, now we have a regressive leadership at the centre.
ReplyDeleteWell said. Bias against women needs to be addressed in a serious, structured and deliberate manner. And it needs to start at home.
