Woman... Wooooo... Man!

A radio announcement says there is a conference in Bangalore on 'What Women Want'. It is a conference or a seminar or the likes am not too sure, but there is some event on Women and what they want. It is amazing why women have to be sooo enigmatic! As I continue to wonder on the same and enter office to my daily doze of readin with a cup of coffee, am landed on ezine within 5 minutes and an article there talks about probably the most-talked about topic and a universally accepted fact - Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus.

The artcile, like many others we have been used to over the years, talks about how women never say what they want and cannot keep things simple. I dont blame them, for if I do that, it may have tough repercussions ;)

To me, Women are what they are, cos men make them what they are. Women may not be the weaker sex, but men made them feel they are the weaker sex, and then gave them concessions, pampered them and are today crying foul over their own mistakes. Women have the advantage of tactfully wearing the glove of being equal to men or being sub-ordinate to him. When they want equal rights or want to show they can do something, they say 'We are equal to men' with a baritone that could put Mr. B to shame! On the other hand, they say 'Oh! We are women.' with a sad face that emanates compassion out of a man. What a hypocrisy this worlds runs on! The bottomline is that women do whatever they want, get whatever they want all this all the time keeping a man in dark of what they really are.

They seem to keep a man in the dark as to what they really are. Finally, when a man voices his concern regarding the same he is called an MCP. Duh!

I dont say it is a woman's fault. It is the liberty that man had given a woman out of compassion and sympathy ages ago that has left us in a soup today. Women today want both equality in jobs and reservations. They want equal working conditions as men, but no night shifts, no extra hours etc... This may not be applicable to all women, there are always exceptions. If you are feeling indignant, probably you are one of them!

From societal observation, the funniest part of women is that a mom, a sister or a friend would never throw tantrums as your girlfriend does. Probably it is a man's compassionate side that wants to keep a woman all happy and at ease which she exhibits the most to ladies of his interest alone that gives the ladies that space to throw tantrums, and they seem to be doing a good job of it. History has always been witness to girlfriend and wife tantrums, but never a mom and sister problems. This is probably 'Multi-Threading' functionality of women! Each thread gives different reactions!

When I try to get a hang of what this all is, and WHY it all is, all I can see at the epicenter is a MAN... Man has given woman the liberty she enjoys, and more importantly, he has always believed in replicating a woman's needs, moods and wants and this has left him in a lurch today. It is probably hightime we make a fresh start, and leave all the gender biases at all levels, show neither discrimination nor sympathy based on gender and put each other on a equal pedestal, no more of that 'Men and Women are equal, but women are more equal than Men' syndrome. It is a shame on men who let women feel they are more equal! It is our psyche that needs a little mend before we reach a point of no return in this He-She battle!

Disclaimer: My respect for women is immense and is always intact. This is just an observation that has been triggered off by a chain of events that needed a vent and this had to be the place. Hope the point is clear!

Shubham has something similar to share!
