One of us has to sacrifice? How will our kids grow if both of us go to work? I have heard these dialogues in run-of-the-mill stupid films. I have heard this dialogue from former chief of Infosys Mr. Narayamoorthy. I have heard this dialogue from my friend Aravind, a well educated individual who is pursuing his masters in Virginia Tech. I hope that you are intelligent enough to guess the point I am coming to.
Female – A person whom you like as your mother, a person who you like as your life, a person who you love as your kid’s mom. My question is on the face. Do you like her as your competitor? Many of you should find a hiccup at this point. If so, get a glass of water and come back. There’s lot more to come. Freedom is a word that everyone has taken has granted. Gandhi said that freedom has arrived only when a lady is able to roam freely in the streets. Isn’t that a male dominated statement? Why only a woman? Are men safe to roam around at that time?
Men are afraid. I accept this from my side. We don’t allow a woman to pursue her dreams. We sacrifice her for our selfishness. It’s so irritating when a male says that he has to work and his wife has to be at home looking after his children. Wat the hell? You are wrong in two ways here. First, you don’t ask what your wife’s plan is and second you ask your children to become whom you want to be. The term house wife is provocative and should be banned. I have never heard of a house husband. We dominate our counterpart. We ask her to sacrifice her dreams. We ask her to stay within four walls just because we want to roam around. Has anyone reading this has a point to counter against this. I suppose you don’t.
We are called the X-gen. We are called as the people to reform. Let’s change all this. Let’s stop looking at our counterpart as slave. Lets realize that she is a human being with her own dreams, ambition and policy. Let’s not flex our muscles just because we are physically strong. Let’s make a world where all are equal. Till then, slavery is not abolished………………..

First of all, its good that u ve chosen this kind of an article to blog in, but then this is not something new to discuss! This is an age old topic and there has been endless discussions already done on this.
>nee etho figure a manasula vechu, avala correct panrathukaka intha blog ezhudhina mathiri irukku! ;-)
>Nobody is a male chauvenist here dude.. I can counter each and every point of urs!
>Well, u have thoroughly misinterpreted Gandhi's statement. U like it or not, women are the weaker sex w.r.to sex! No girl rapes a man at the mid of the night. So, men have to fear only for their money when walking alone in the night! But gals have to care for their body too..(though nowadays, boys also face the problem!;-) ) Thats what Gandhi meant and I don see any male dominance there.... Its just the care for the female counterpart!
>Do you believe a child can get the same love and affection from a caretaker that he/she would get from a mother? A child needs a mother dude..she is the greatest thing a person could get and the mother needs TIME to spend with her children. It is next to impossible to spend time with children when she leaves to office morning at 8 and returns at night 9 o clock.. imagine how much tired will she be doing so much of mental work and do u still think, she will feel like hitting the sack or spend some affectionate time with her children...by the time, probably they are already off to bed? so, r u happy with the child growing up without the love and affection of the greatest human being on earth?
>And I seriously do not think any guy treats his wife as a slave or look upon any female in that sense... probably a section of the society...yes!and that is due to lack of awareness and the way they are brougt up! They do not grow up seeing gals playing tennis and holding the mike. They grow up seeing women in the kitchen..
>"Do you like her as your competitor?" the only valid point I could find in this blog.... very true! An honest answer from me would be 'yes' if she is going to defeat me inside 4 walls..I would love to lose..But 'No..a big no' if she is gonna defeat me in the society! U can't really take that as male chauvenism. There are certain things in life u can't change because we are brought up in the Indian Society. The concept of house wife is not present in the western world but the concept of maternity and motherhood is always there everywhere. Gals willingly prefer to take a break after marriage to be with their husbands.
Take a survey among gals and ask them how many of them would be willing to marry a man who earns less than them?! I am sure the count would be less than 10 percent. Women love to be beaten sometimes by the counterparts... in some things..and men love to be beaten by their counterparts in some things... thats the way we have been living life so far and both the clans seem to enjoy it! Let it stay like that..don meddle with them unnecessarily..
Lots of other things to say, but i ll wait for ur reply.. :-)
and before tht, i want to know the name of that sappa figure u r trying to impress with such an article! ;-)
