Hypocrisy of the Hypocrites


Statutory Warning:- The views below are mine and people need to agree with the same. I'd be very grateful if you add your comments to the same.

Not many times I have been critical about my breed but then there are times when you are made to think otherwise. Last night Anu(Anuradha) and I exchanged some SMSes, let me give some details about the same:-
Me: It is late and like a good gal you better go to bed now.
Anu: Who told you that I am good.
Me: Well I like gals who are not so good. Good it out bad is in.
Anu: It always was like that
Me: I don't agree with you on that. I believe that our breed wants someone who can respond to their desires; sinister or otherwise. But when it come to taking the same person home they want her to be a
sati- savitri,
always proper.
Anu: I would say your breed is afraid to look at the truth into its face when it comes afront..they are not able to able to believe that women have similar wants as they.
Me: I guess its more to do with our upbringing, since childhood a clear demarcation is drawn between a guy and a gal. Girls are supposed to be all that goodie goodie.....
Anu: Right very true...Typical male.....Blame it all on on your upbringing and not your lack of ability to reason and find what's right and what's wrong.

It has never occured to me that women are also in the same league as men, they have their share of strengths and weaknesses. Assuming that they can only don the role of glamorous dolls with little or no feelings would be foolishness and utter stupidity.

We expect women to perform roles ranging from say a girl friend to mother and grandmother. Today, men prefer working women but not at the cost of their homes and that simply means that women have to perform a balancing act between the domestic chores and the office lives. We simply ignore the fact that they have feelings of their own, they too have desires, wishes; after all they too are made of flesh and blood.

Ironically,our society has laid down rules and rules and most of the rules apply to women whereas men are allowed to roam scot-free. It is ok if men oogle at women but then the woman is characterless if she even smiles at some guy even if it happens to be an acquaintance. To be very honest, it is men who belong to the fairer sex and not women. But it is our ego that prevents us from accepting this fact. We are weak in the sense that we can't accept the fact that a women can excel and leave them behind. It is high time that we realize this, otherwise our breed will be caught in a conflict within and we would be left behind,something like cave men.

PS:- Thanks Anu, for making me realize that I too am one amongst them, will definitely try to be a bit more sensitive.
