I know some of you do not like the idea. Some of you are sitting on the fence(no comments). Some of you said why not? So, this is how I’ve decided. Every time I feel I may not be able to update my blog for a long period of time(which will be unlikely),  ghost writers will feel up the space. It would not be in continuous basis  like what I suggested earlier. Plus, I’m opening it to all of you, if you have a good piece of work and want it published, send it over. Make sure it’s good shit.

Below article pioneers. Do not screw her up just because she is against me, but rather put up your opinions on what you think about what she has wrote. Read this article about what an Indian girl thinks of what’s happening today in our society dominated by Indian males.By the time you’re reading this, I might be sharpening the hooks and setting the pots. Wish me luck.

The opinion parts had always been easy for me, constructing things in a systematic manner; that was tough. Blogging isn’t like some form 6 MUET essay, just use some beautiful words and band 6 is in your hands. The fact I’ve never written before; just adds the pain.

Maybe I’ll just screw up some of you with this post. And I’ll go rampage by summarizing few general things that had been discussed over here in this blog.

A very close friend of mine, he said something that was completely, utterly degrading thing. To cut the long story short, the friendship is now no more, and I finally found a good topic to write on.

The author of this blog, being an Indian male he is, like all most males I know (am being stereotypical, can’t help it), has inherited a disease. It is hereditary, I’m afraid. It doesn’t matter what race or ethic you are, its just there. Though no scientific study has been conducted, from my observation, this disease is more prevalent in Indian males than any other races.

The age old sexism. Male chauvinist pigism.

I just created that term. But it’s true. The whole problem with this scenario is; it had been practiced for so long, that people have just accepted things as they are, not questioning, or giving any second thoughts to it. Do allow me to explain further.Let’s not go so far, and allow me to quote a few examples from here.

Girls, clubbing and other naughty things-when guys do it, it’s validated. When guys drink, it’s perfectly fine. But with girls, it’s a different set of rules all together. The author of this blog proceeds to show the open mindedness of his thoughts (sarcastic) by saying that it is alright for a girl to drink or club, as long as she is with her boyfriend, or someone she knows.

Of course she’s not going to drink with any Tom, Dick or Harry. We are not dimwits. And if she wants to have sex, that’s up to her own discretion. If she is a highly principled person, good for her.

My point being, there should not be a separate case of rule for both genders. The main reason I believe that we have many problems in the society among Indian girls is that we are often suppressed starting at a young age. We are supposed to stick with the family, and behave in a way that society expects us to.Let her know her options, let her decide for herself. Give her the freedom. If she makes mistakes, then so be it. Let learn and live. At least, she’ll have exciting things to talk on later in life.

Girls are often chastised for the way we conduct ourselves.

Girls and cooking- I don’t see a problem in girls cooking, but my point being, they should cook because they want to, if it’s their passion. And just don’t give me the stupid excuse of…oh, meenachi should cook, because she’s a girl. Why must she serve the husband? Can’t it be the other way around too?
It automatically irritates me, whenever people mention the phrase.’ Because she is a girl.’

Because she’s a girl my foot!!

She has to cook, clean, work, take care of the children, take care of her husband-because she was born as a girl! What a change of fate eh? If only the male counterpart sperm reached slightly faster to the destination, how different ones life would be.

Working life- Something I feel I should touch on as this was something that affected me just recently. We, females, have to outdo and prove ourselves just to be on par with the males’ counterparts. You may not think its true, but it is. And gosh…it’s tiring.

Why do we have to end up working extra hard for anything?  In a weird way, being in an all dominated male area, I have no complains. I am being treated well.

But that is my whole problem. I don’t want any extra special treatment. What I am looking for is equal rights. Not because I am a girl, not because despite I am a girl. Just that I am another working member who deserve it, just because so.And in addition to that, it is tough to be taken seriously. We are at most times, as smart or smarter. Our IQ doesn’t drop 20 points just because our arse bleeds on a monthly basis. It is difficult to explain this, but if you are a girl, I bet you know what exactly I am talking about.

Guys, seriously, think about this for a minute. What would you do if your superior was a female? I’m not talking about some tough looking chick. Just an average, sweet natured women. Would you have the same respect for her as you would with a male counterpart?

It would be unfair for me to say that this is a problem of Indians alone. The fact is, our whole society is screwed up. In Islam, prayers are lead by males, and rarely by females. It’s this kind of actions that further indirectly effects our minds. And why don’t we have any female priest? It’s these small acts that have altered our thinking and lead us to the state we are in now. Most of us females, have accepted things as they are, accepting their roles as a second class citizen.

Before you start shooting me down, think about it for a second.

I may not have listed many incidences, but if you think about it, you would realize that I may have a point.

I actually asked this Muslim friend of mine, if she agrees to polygamy, if such a situation arise. And this girl, whom I know personally as a smart and successful lady, said without even hesitating, that she would, if it is fated such. Sigh.

Summarizing it; why the domination by males?

This being my first entry in this blog, I know my thoughts are all scattered and unorganized. I’m learning.Forgive me. After all, I’m just a girl: P
