Well, its that time of the month again...nope it's not what you think. Its time to make my readers read another of my wacky posts. Well, today its going to be slightly personal. It's basically those gender wars that we keep hearing about or watching. It has reached the saturation level of my tolerance and hence am lashing out. I will try to be fair, but quite frankly this is one place I want to unabashedly biased. Its MY blog....deal with it.
I won't tell you when this so called war between the sexes started...cos frankly its been around since the time of the early civilizations. But there has been change since the 1960s....may be earlier too, but I am not aware of that. Personally I remember the "Liberation" because I find that bra-burning concept really fascinating {Lol...me and my perverted mind ;-)}.
Irrespective of what people (Men) say, they still make the mistake of assuming that women are the fairer (weaker) sex. Even today, strong women are labelled as "bitches" or tagged with adjectives like "obstinate", "stubborn", "independent" (yup, they can make it sound like a negative quality). I am way past the initial anger and indignation that accompanies the sexist jokes and I really think its high time I did my bit for my "gender"; the dreaded G-word.
However I must make my stand really clear. I am not overly fond of either men or women. I have been shunned by one side and plain rejected by the other. take your pick, which side has done what. I was on the phone with my friend last night and we kinda got into a debate about the games when and women play when it comes to dating. I told him, guys can and do fake feelings to get into a woman's pant. Pretty much do everything else too to convince girls that they are worthy of their time, energy and heaven between our legs. So, its high time we give it back to them. A girl I know does the opposite. When she is not in a relationship, she hooks up with guys and lead them into thinking that they will get sex...and BAM! When the moment comes upon her, she changes her mind. To some people, this is cruel but her reasoning is since men are dogs, they needed to be treated like that...with the promise of sex as a bait. She is really clear about what SHE wants. She wants to hook up but she will not do it with a guy unless she really really wants him. She is not technically a player but she does it just for the fun and exhilaration of it; the adrenalin rush, if you will.
She says its basically payback to all the guys who rejected her when she put herself out there. I have had my share of rejections too, but in my saner moments, she scares the fuck outta me. that girl reminds me of that Sunaina chick in "7 khoon maaf", just a little less intense. I still think she is NUTS! But I can't really do anything about it. I love her. She confuses me, annoys me, contradicts me, threatens to steal my sanity, but she is a part of my soul. She is my yin to my yang (whatever that means..LOL).
She gets called a mad slut by the people who know her (mostly guys) but they love her. They know that beneath her cold-hearted exterior, beats a warm heart that she chooses to show selected few around her. Sorry, guess i got kinda carried away. What I really wanted to say is that its high time these double standards were done away with. Men's weird obsession with "homely" girls. Trust me, girls who have been out there are way more honest than these homely girls. Homely girls are seldom honest, play weird mental games and are BORING!
When women dont have a problem with the number of girls their men have been with, why should men have a problem with our score cards? Whatever. Its history anyways. just live and let live. And please just FYI, "Because you are a woman" excuse is SO passe!
