Shocked, baffled and surprised? When day in and day out, men are projected badly in the media, there is a volley of anti-male laws as explained in Gender Arsenal how can all men be innocent? We will come to this argument later. First let us see why men are projected the way they are projected.
Civilization progress has been in phases. There are four phases of civilization progress.
- Hunter-Gatherer Community: Men used to go out, hunt and gather the food while women used to stay back home. This period lasted prior to 3000 years from today. Muscle power was the definition of a man and chivalry was his prized possession.
- Agriculture: Again muscle man was the hero in these days as he used to not only provide for his family but also protect the community and often requirement of protection required the man to be immune to violence. This requirement set the foundation of the emotional castration of men as well which will not be covered in detail here. This period lasted from 3000 years to 300 years from today.
- Industrialization: This was the era of pacification as well wherein the businessman gained prominence over muscle man. This period lasted from 300 years to 30 years from today.
- Post Industrialization: This era witnessed the emergence of the service industry and entrepreneurship models which we have been witnessing since the last 30 years or so.
Although muscle power was no longer the need of the day for men but because of thousands of years of hardwiring it had become a male gender trait. And presumption of violence on part of the male was very easy for everyone - male or female.
However, it is pertinent to note that the anti-male laws have emerged now only in the last 40 - 50 years or so wherein the MAN was no longer violent but was carrying remnants of a violent history and today's men are paying the price of the violent imageries of their ancestors. The anti-male laws are so badly drafted that they violate cardinal principles of natural justice. Even though no one protests against them as they are creating social rampage.
And the most draconian feature of these anti-male laws is that the accused are held GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT - which typically transpires down to the reality that the mere presence of the complaint can form the basis of punishment quintessentially which boils down to the fact that men will be punished for being men.
Women and their pamperers well know that due to the fact that the man is GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT, he can be easily trapped in false allegations. And then making complaint as the basis of punishment, the man can be extorted. Not all men are strong enough to fight for their innocence and would ultimately give up. This defeat of men is viewed as acceptance of guilt on part of the man and justification of the abuse that men undergo making the whole cycle a vicious self-feeding circle. Also even if the man commits the crime one can never be sure of the circumstances which led him to commit the crime.
Till the time men will be considered GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT, to me, as a men's rights activists, ALL MEN ARE INNOCENT.
