A weird thg or should i call interesting thg happened today... while coming back home.. in bus i saw the board that says "mahilan sathi" which is for ladies... n one aunty aggresively came from behind n made a boy get up from the seat, she sat down.. but was not satisfied as there were still 2 boys sitting in front of her.... now she wanted girls/ women to sit there.. sadly there werent many around., so on the next stop 2 girls climbed in............ she got her prey n victims ( not really) then she made the 2 guys aware abt those seats were ladies seat, one of them (poor fellow) got up.. n gave the seat away.. other was annoyed by the women activist's talk.. so didnt bother to get up n avoided by sayin.. ya jus one stop more.. Now the lady had to say thgs, talk abt how rude guys ve become.. how they dont respect elders n law.. n blah blah.... (of course it did bring smile to my face :) when his stop came he left.. n now the fun part begins.. i was standing all along, n didnt mind either ( cz im seriously not into this feminism n all) n one old man (who was suppositly allowed to sit on ladies seat) got down at his stop.. the lady looked at me, expectin me to sit.. n my stop was lik jus 2 stops away, n ya the entire i sit only in office....... so wht if i stood for a while???? but she wanted to talk abt it, said to the lady passenger next to her.. cant she sit?? why is she showin attitude???" n i heard n giggled (shameless as ever) yaa this also she said to the lady besides her............ oh god, wht a fun ride i had..!!!
but thru all this.. only one thg was running in my mind.. why this gender discrimination?? n then the unacceptance of being called as the softer gender... bein a girl do i need to been given a favour from a boy to make my place??? well no i know how to create my own place... n i've been taught by my parents that a girl n boy, when marry are the equal wheels of the same bullockcart.. they ve their own share of responsibilities, own set of struggles.. but when fought together.. thgs get easier, simpler n surely happier when taken each other into consideration... we fight for rights n all but forget duties.... my son or daughter.. should be brought in environment which doesnt have gender discrimination.. as it is in India there arent enuf reasons to fight abt?????????

ReplyDeletedont knw dear.... its more lik takin disadvantage.. its the mentallity that needs to b worked on i feel...
ReplyDeleteWoman reservation has the history! Because males were dominant forces at work and society women needed push of reservations! Things are changing now! If more and more women come forward and voice descent and disregard for this reservation, it might end then! I don't feel that woman was wrong in asking for boys to empty the reserved seats! But making joke on you wasn't right attitude! She should have instead asked you why aren't you sitting on the empty seat for which you definitely would have thought of some nice reply! 😜
