And I am back to Bollywood, my favorite style to bring forth the side of men - unexplored and unthought-of hitherto.
Abhay is a law graduate and after completing his graduation goes to his village where he meets this village damsel named Mangla and falls in love with her exhibiting the Raj Syndrome explained in Look before you leap; Learn before you Love; and keeps tolerating her gestures just to keep the interaction alive with her and get her attention. Mangla also knows she can be rude to him, Abhay won't mind it. And Abhay actually does not mind it when she calls him shameless. She even goes to the extent of telling him that if he was her husband, she would have given him poisoned tea, to which Abhay replies, "If you'd been my wife, I would have drunken the tea without any glitches."
I posted a link to news titled Court forcing men out of homes for domestic violence which sparked off a debate on Facebook and one of my friends reverted back telling that, "Women are meant to be pampered." I do not blame him. This is how men are hardwired and the hardwiring breaks only when they are hit below the belt.
The continuous negative projection of men be it in media or history, the constant emotional castration that men are subjected to and the consistently rising expectations from today's men which does not allow men either to come out of their traditional role (that of a PROTECTOR and a PROVIDER) or shift their identity ultimately leads to them becoming insensitive, drawn away from their experiential domain, unable to sense another man's pain.
Additionally the above fact also leads to men viewing women as victims (under all circumstances) and fall in love with them only after weakening them. Moreover, they see abusive females as empowered ones and treat their abuse as Empowerment of Women even if the abuse is directed towards men. Being severe victims of the LOOKING GOOD SYNDROME, and fed constantly with a negative image of man coupled with the befooling done under the phrase, "It's a male dominated world,", men have a very big urge to disprove their visibly negative image and in the process ultimately consider women pamperment as the only way to a woman's heart.
However, what they don't realize is the pitfalls of such a biased and anti-male psyche. Women find it very easy to pit men against each other and get their work done. Examples of such a behavior are not far to find. Often women pit their fathers and brothers against their husbands. The men (fathers and brothers) in a bid to pamper her often ignore or at times overlook the woman's misdeeds, falsities, instigations and manipulations and screw the life of the poor husband who is anyway caught in the cobweb of the Gender Arsenal conspired against him.
Exasperated men either become Baazigars or commit suicides and all this is leading ultimately to a marriage less and a fatherless society which is ultimately going to harm women. Marriage is needed more for women than men and the day won't be far when women will be begging for husbands on national highway and still won't get. Already men in the West have stopped marrying due to the financial Tsunami enthralled upon them by western marital laws and their use (read misuse).
All this is going on since men pamper women and in wake of the above scenario, the sentence, Women are meant to be pampered is worth a debate. Are there any takers for the debate?
