A typical textbook example of how male children are emotionally castrated by the immediate society (parents) to turn them into ruthless forced PROTECTORS (read UNPAID BODYGUARDS) and forced PROVIDERS (FREE ATM MACHINES) and when they actually turn - they are termed violent, aggressive, chauvinist, egoistic, emotionless and what not. A double vicious trap for men - Damn if they do, Damn if they don't. Damn it, just damn it.
Also it shows how mothers torture their sons in the name of marraige and the same goes unchallenged. A video calling for immediate restoration of "A Right to Peaceful Existence" for men and boys in the society lest this society becomes an animal society.
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.
