From past two days, I have been Smitten by the
"Dumbness" of people in their responses to "MY CHOICE".
More than the content, what surprised me more are the Mixed
responses. Well, I am obviously going for a "YES Vote" for the Video
no matter what.
To sum up a few most Popular critical responses which most
Men & a few Women going GAGA Over:
1. "If a girl thinks it’s her CHOICE to do actions X,
Y, Z; then it’s his CHOICE to do the Same".
Hell yes. If a Girl thinks She can Go Size 0 or 15, more
often than not She IS mature enough to expect a six-pack or a beer-belly
respectively. & the same applies for any given action.
'Women's Liberation' Aims to Free Men Too” - Gloria Steinem back in 1970.
2. "Does Marrying/Not-Marrying, Sex-Before/AfterMarriage/NotToHaveSex,
HavingKids/NoKids, Love/LustChoices really EMPOWER a Women"?
Hell Yes Again. Please don’t tell me that you haven't heard
these questions in your vicinity:
·
Shall “My Daughter” Can/ Has to Work after
wedding? & The question isn’t the same for “My Son”.
·
Doesn't matter even if she is graduated from
Oxford or IIM & were to pursue a Career. A girl is 28. & She is STILL
not married? Gosh.
·
A Girl's just married, and they go, "When
are you having Kids"?
·
Have kids? More often than not, it’s HER who QUITs
work than HIM, between them.
She is pre-programmed NOT to LOVE anyone until her 25, most
common WeddingMustBeDoneNowSyndrome Age. And she is supposed to make Love, Lust
etc only after.
& We talk about corporates OBJECTIFYING Girls/Women.
Please educate me. If there is anything more Objectifying than this ACT, making
Human a machine.
Although a few of the above are Gender Independent and so
apply for men too, we don’t go overboard when MEN break them like the way we go
when WOMEN do. For Instance, the "His HOTness increases with the number of
his girlfriends, but it’s her SLUTness that increases with the number of her
Boyfriends". And you lecture me on EQUALITY.
I can’t agree more with:
“The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn” - Gloria Steinem.
3. And some say it’s just the right to choose Education,
Career, Economical Freedom that Empower women not the above.
The thought is just Half cooked unfortunately. Because, in
India, most of the Women HAVE their choice while choosing their Education,
Career, Economical Freedom until it’s been taken away from them mid-way through
their destination by the factors given above Marriage-Love-Sex-Children-Family.
& You cannot just assume it doesn't exist and drop it on the floor just
because you have seen a word you don’t feel comfortable talking about, Sex.
Now, let me finish it off by quoting Gloria Steinem for one
last time,
“A liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after”
Note: Please don’t be dumb enough yet again to take the
literal meaning of it but the philosophy behind it.
