Ugly face of Indian feminism

[Bala (Karthik)]

OTOH, India is (or was?) supposed to be a place where family institution is strong, people won't drag family members wrongly into police station / court etc...so I thought.

True, but often the family is the problem here. Family pressure, family honor, family garvam etc..

Someone my wife knows (kittathatta feminist) married a guy and went to the U.S (arranged marriage after the usual reference checks etc). On a recent visit to India after a year she looked completely 'down' and lost. Apparently, the guy has gender identity issues and does cross dressing, staring at the wall for hours etc..
Obviously the marriage was not consummated. She gave him a year and even offered to take him to counseling etc but in vain. She has filed for divorce. The appalling thing is that the dude says he went ahead with the marriage because he didn't want to let his parents down (the 'family' thing)!! Only when threatened with a suit did they relent and agree for divorce and compensation.
This family thing, the mother-in-law vs daughter-in-law is etched so deep in our society that it is here to stay for a while.

If those values are degraded, then law will become an ugly demon, instead of the policeman that it should be!

wow badri,

that was a great quote i come across recently

[blahblah]

Looks like the time has come for suppression of men!!! Tables turned against the arrogant, adamant, chauvnistic 'stronger' sex! Both situations unfair!!! Can't we find a golden mean?

0000ps!This doesn't look like the PP I know! Were you talking about the attitude of a miniscule minority among the fair sex?

There surely has to be a 'golden mean', provided we know where it lies. After all, men are from Mars and women are from Venus .

As somebodyelse suggested earlier, rules for protection of women are not at all being used by the real victims, these are being misused by pathetic females who either have a score to settle or say, looking for some ' Green Gandhis'


Arrogant: Women-90% Men-70%
Adamant: Women-99.99% Men,fools-0%
Chauvnistic: Women-2%- Men -98%
Strong: Women-80% Men-79.99%


Just depends on where the negative marks lie.

Glad to hear from you, blahblah! Yes, fortunately it is a minuscule minority of the fair sex that is dangerously posing a serious problem to the health of society. But with the fare catered in both small and big screens how long is it going to be a minuscule minority?

Good point, blah*2!

OT: "Green Gandhi"- first time I'm coming across this name...sounds real funny!!

Can't we find a golden mean?

That's something the Human Race has been struggling with since the start of it's Existence. Not just in sex chauvinism, but in everything.

Arrogant: Women-90% Men-70%
Adamant: Women-99.99% Men,fools-0%
Chauvnistic: Women-2%- Men -98%
Strong: Women-80% Men-79.99%

NICE!!!
