According to the Bible, God created Adam out of sand. Then he created Eve out of Adam’s backbone.
Question: Why didn’t God create Eve out of sand? (Assuming there was still plenty of sand available)
Answer: Coz he knew that men shall be wiped off from earth had he done that.
N.B. This is not a post regarding which gender is superior. It merely deals with the plight of one of the sexes caused by the other. And no, I don’t hate women; I’m a sympathizer of my fraternity. (Post to be taken in a lighter vein)
Scene 1: A hot afternoon in front of “New” theatre at Thambanoor
I looked at my watch; the time is 2.15 PM. I’ve been here for half an hour sweating in the middle of a long queue; the guard doesn’t allow ‘anyone’ to enter the gates until 2.45 PM. Anyone?? No, anyone except a particular kind of species; a species which are called by the funny name ‘women’, who coolly walked by the gates giving me a smug look. While I sweated out hours in the hot scorching sun to get to the ticket counter, it was just a matter of seconds for this species to get ‘em. And when I finally reached the counter, the balcony tickets were sold out.
Scene 2: A crowded bus stop at Ulloor
As soon as the bus arrived, I jumped and hopped into it and barely managed to get a side seat. After a while comes the so called ‘species’ demanding me to get up. Darn! Ladies seat!! Not again! Nevertheless, being the chivalrous young man I’m, alright alright, a ‘wanna-be’ chivalrous young man I’m; I got up and graciously gave ‘my’ seat to them, only to get that 'cheap guy' stares. And O brothers, your faithful narrator, who earned his seat, stood in a corner bearing all the kicking and elbowing of the crowd.
Brothers, wake up! They’re here, there, everywhere; from the President of India to the Chancellor of Germany, from the President of Congress to the CEO of Pepsico, from Poomanam to Mindspace (Yes, they’ve even dominated the blogosphere. I demand 33.33% visiters of these blogs be given to poor male bloggers like me). Still the echo that’s clamoring is “Reservation” and “Ladies First”. And this is not the case just in India, it’s a widespread epidemic across the world. Here are some statistics:
- The disparity in the spending on men and women in the healthcare system. As an example, in the United Kingdom significantly more money is spent on breast cancer research than prostate cancer research. 40,000 cases of breast cancer were detected in the UK in 2000 and claimed the lives of 13,000 women in 2002. In 2000, about 27,200 cases of prostate cancer were detected and claimed nearly 10,000 lives in 2002 in the UK.
- Increasing suicide rate amongst young men, four times higher than amongst young women in the United Kingdom; (73% of all suicide deaths in the United States are white males.)
- In recent years, girls in the United States have tended to perform better in most educational levels and subjects. In the United States, 57% of college students are women, and the number is growing. The trend is similar in other industrialized countries.

As you can see, whether it’s healthcare or education or any field for that matter, women are given priority. What about the born-unlucky boy of today??

Cases of husband battering are not unheard of in this era. But due to the social stigma associated with it, the voices of the victims are not heard in the society. And you think this happens in humans alone. Well think again.

Brothers, no longer should we ignore the plights of our fellow comrades. They are being victims to the legions of destruction a.k.a. women. Let’s fight for our rights.

You know something, things are so much different in Mumbai. Here there isn't so much of a gender disparity. And hence, life is so much more easier.
The only misconception that I would like to clear hear is that breast cancer indeed be given more priority during research for two reasons;
1 - Admit it, there is more public awareness of breasts that prostate (reference - all kinds of media including pornography)
2 - There are two (fucken) breasts (per woman) as compared to one prostate (per man).
(PS: Which movie did you see in 'New' Theatres 70 mm?)
@kris bass: As I said in the beginning, the post is to be taken in a LIGHTER VEIN.
P.S. There's public awareness for breast cancer and not for prostate. That's exactly the point!
P.P.S. It was long time back, I saw Jodha Akbar. :)
21 centuries thy kind enjoyed all the liberties and now thy complaineth when is is our turn? tsk tsk
LOL!! Good one dude!! And I understand that you have written it in a lighter vein like your other posts! :)
The Devil Wears Bra, da.
LOL @ Philip!
Lighter vein, indeed. Have my doubts on the veracity of that statement! :P
@silverine: Aah! The Medussa in flesh and blood! You'll pay for the atrocities against us at the Pearly Gates.
P.S. The tides shall reverse again and one day we get to handle the rudder of the ship. Athu oorthaal nanne.
@philip: You said it man! LOL!! You got some real creativity!
@hari: Come on man, i don't want to initiate a world war 3 between the sexes. In fact, I was just mocking myself!
Damsels, pardon me. But this post is so so true.Despite this being written in a
'lighter vein', I suggest you lot don't miss the deeper truth hidden within.
The 21st century has brought with it , alarming levels of female chauvinism.
MCP's are a thing of the past. FCP is the new in-thing. :D
Thomacha awesome:). Among the most awesome posts i've read recently. I honestly support each and every statement. Quite true, like the prostate example. Sad that you've been beaten in the act without letting you complete the post. :)
its time to remove the word 'male chauvinist' from the vocabulary...bcos such things doesn't exist anymore:P
hilarious post
I see you so happy after that... how do you say "paliza" in English? Beating?
p.s just dropping by to tell you that I didn't miss the Title of the post fyi!!! X(
:)
@rauf: Yea, and we need to clobber these FCPs. ;)
@abhi: Thank you!! Ya, was beaten and given warning never to write posts like this, hehe. ;) :)
@praveen: They used to exist, but not in this century i guess, as rauf said, FCPs are reigning now.
@carlos: Happy? Didn't quite get you. Yes, paliza means beating in english; I checked that with translator, :D
@silverine: For centuries, literatures and speeches used the "ladies first" mode of addressing. Now winds have started changing direction, let my "revolutionary" post be the trigger to it.
Lets go for war and bring back those glorious days..!!!!;-D
@mathew: I'm ready! Let's get all the weapons from our secret arsenal, that we were hiding from them all these years. ;)
