Calm Down...they say...

It is when a man wants to play God and takes it upon himself to decide what is best for the Women in his legislation that I lose it. It is unnerving and irksome to hear the kind of moral policing that goes on in the name of society and culture. Frankly I am disgusted with these two words as they stand to be today, losing their meaning to the vested interests of a handful of greedy and power crazy beings. Society today shelters the men who decided to rob a house and relieve the home of all the jewelry and money while leaving the family of four including two little kids bound and gagged all in the name of “adventure”. Society today says “boys will be boys” and ignores those 4 excuses for “men” who brutalized a woman and chooses to victimize a woman who is dead now, and questions as to why was she out with a friend after 9 in the night. The culture today blames fast food and Chinese food for the rise in crime against women while protecting the inhuman depraves who commit the act. The society and the culture comes together to find a solution as ridiculous as lowering the marriageable age of women to prevent rapes. The society and the moral police ignore marital rape as crime. They all ignore women as beings with any intellect or say and treat them as mere mediums to sate their basal urge of sex, production of an heir and completion of their daily chores of cooking and cleaning.
I am no feminist with a long list of why can’t woman do this and that… All I ask for, no demand for is a sane and fair outlook. To be treated as equal, if not special. I do not want reservation or special seats in the metro, but all I need is a surety that I can board a public conveyance mode with my head held high and without the fear of being groped, raped or molested… Or does the society, culture and certain political honchos think I am being ludicrous and hysterical, and that I need to calm down!
