"Don't make your mother feel guilty for the pain she took for you"
Loud roars of laughter were coming while i was in the kitchen preparing coffee for the ones sitting in and giggiling. I was in speed as i wanted to join the conversation too. While i put up the pan filled with milk on the stove i thought to peep in and listen to jokes that were cracked. My 7 year old nephew was playing with a doll, strange for a boy to do so, this could have passed unnoticed if someone could not have jokingly juxtaposed the posture of the doll to the victim of delhi rape case. And once again on this simile the group of 'MEN' laughed. But at that moment something pinched in my heart. I went back to prepare coffee and joined in with everyone. A happy time passed by and its time for everyone to get in their sleeping couches.
It was midnight, although being tired for the whole day i wasn't sleepy and i was feeling that pinch again which was joke few moments before.My thought process accelerated and i started imagining (God Forbid) if a group of 6 men just try to catch hold of me and impose them on me. Will I be resistable to any of them? Is one man enough to fight against 6? If any of my parent or the one in my blood relation will be able to help me out at that very instance? These and many questions mugged up my mind and i started feeling breathless and goose bumps all over me.
I reimagined that joke when everyone laughed. The typical Male chauvinist society have the same constitution of mind, at times they may be emotional but that too only for the one they may genuinely respect, love or have feelings for their blood relations. Rest is just vain. He can fantasize every second woman encountered.The question that came next was Is the pain suffered by a mother in those nine months of transforming a fetus into a baby and all the years that were observed by her turning him to a man. And when turning old enough he feels pride in to stark the being of another effeminate. Are men so rapacious that they have forgotten all the generosity?Females are termed as weaker sex. But do people really understand the real definition of weaker sex in this context. As far as i have surveyed the prominent definition of weaker sex is freedom for exploitation, exploitation by father by not letting their daughters move out the way their son could, exploitation by a husband for being a maid to him, for being a toy to him in bed. Exploitation by male colleagues to look at their female counterparts as tranquilizers. Not enough with this there are uncountable humilations, harassment a girl faces far before then her physical maturity. Is she sent on earth to fulfill the manly desires.
This is for all men from all ages, races, tribes, communities you are made strong to protect the one's who are less stronger. Your heavy shoulders signify to enclose the one with lighter shoulders and protect. The famous observation that a girl likes or adores a boy who has heavy built, the reason is simple so that he may protect her from all storms of this world rather than make her weak from the fear of being forced physically. Someday or the other your mother, sister, wife could have felt that harrasment and sometimes or the other you would have also commented on someone else.
Give a thought to your being and make this world a healthier and fearless place to live in.
