As discussed in the article Taxed Men and Relaxed Women, the discriminations against men in the area of taxation in India has been discussed. Currently this is a non-issue for all - society, media, Government, corporates including men's rights organizations for whatsoever reasons.
As explained in the above article that how women pay lesser taxes than men at the same salary level, qualification level and employment level. This is direct discrimination against men because the more taxes that men pay works against them.
There is a direct relationship in economics of cost with entity. The more the cost, the luxurious the item is or put the other way round, the more luxurious the item is the more is the cost.
Women get a lot of benefits for being women as they get the choice of either being a career-woman or a housewife, have a volley of laws to protect them as described in Gender Arsenal, and a host of other benefits in terms of larger social support structure and a huge and massive awareness of their issues.
Men, on the other hand, have none of the above luxuries, rather they are at a bigger disadvantage that they have to fight false and frivolous litigations, carry on the role of a Protector and a Provider, bear social resistance to redressal of their problems, have a larger suicide rate - sans protection, lack communication channel from the society and at the end their problems are invalidated with the statement that it is a Male Dominated Society.
In such a case, actually men should get tax sops more than women and women should pay more tax for the simple reason that women get a lot of emotional support from the society whereas men get minimal emotional support and because tax is an economic entity, it has a direct relation to luxury available vs. Cost. And because women get a higher luxury from the society they should pay a higher price in terms of tax vis-a-vis men who should be paying lesser taxes.
Additionally wrongly jailed men should be exempted from paying taxes as compensation. Hence Tax Women and Relax Men.
As I think about the today's theme - it reminds me of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric bulb. He had made a famous statement "Things are 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration"
Same applies to men's rights movement as well. It is a matter of constant awareness campaign and hitting at our opponents and proponents of male abuse. Contrary to popular belief, it is 3 times easier to abuse a male than a female because males have no support structure and male abuse is accepted by the society as social service.
As I have repeatedly mentioned in my articles that cultures have deceived men, acting as vultures. Men have been used as the FREE ATM MACHINE, the UNPAID BODYGUARD, the de-facto PROTECTOR and PROVIDER, etc.by cultures and in the process have been reduced to disposable entities. Their abuse is considered a social service now.
And men, the way they are, are in a great way responsible for this. They rarely challenge or question conventions, traditions, histrionics and stereotypes thrust upon them. They do not feel the need to fight for their rights - only a handful of them are doing though scores are getting victimized. They do not demand for their space in the society and accept things as offered to them.
To this effect, today I take the example of Skandagupta - the great emperor of India. His stepmother has him sent to Ujjain so that her son can be made the emperor. He obeys her. But then the Huns attack India under the leadership of Attila the Hun. The army of Skandagupta calls him back as they needed his expertise.
