First and foremost : Let's send our men to finishing schools.
I say things in a humorous way but the post has a serious message.
I say things in a humorous way but the post has a serious message.
I
started this blog
hoping to make
fun of all
things related to
writing and writers
but I wish to
write today about
slut shaming. I saw
a facebook post
about a girl’s
personal experience and
it annoyed me. I
wish the man
in the equation
was a fly
and I had a
swatter! My aim is
good for those
who have doubts! Well
I am a
woman and I
am a feminist
too although not
to an extent
that I would stab
any man who
even as much
raises his brow
or stares at
my boobs….but truly
speaking? I have thought
of stabbing a
few men in
their groins. What to do?
They behave
like that sometimes. But despite having
a firm wrist
and many sharp kitchen knives
I have never
actually stabbed any
groin as yet. I am
good at stabbing
with sarcasm but
with knives? If I
do I will
let you know.
On
a positive note I think
it is time
feminists should start
thinking of opening
finishing schools for
men. Of course
they will not
go there willingly
but then most
of the children
don’t go to
schools willingly! But parents
do use all sorts of
tricks to put
them in there
and see to it they
stay put. Same to
same.
Let’s
drag our men
there….if it must
be by goading
them or tricking
them…..with a game
tickets or maybe
a good movie
or whatever your
man likes…when I
was in my
primary school and made
excuses you know what
my mom used to do?
She used
to dress me
up in my
uniform and then
say, “We are going
to the zoo
to see the
tiger. This uniform
is just so that
you
don’t get lost.”
I used to
jump with happiness.
And
then we would
stand on the road side
and wait .
She
would say, “We are
waiting for your
father. He is going
to come and
pick us up.”
But
as soon as
the school bus
was spotted a mile
away she would
grip my wrist
like a python
just so I couldn’t
run away. As
soon as the bus
would stop and
the door would
open she would hurl me
in like a meteor from
the hands of God and
shut the door behind my
back!
Well,
she did this
almost every day. Sometimes I
was getting dressed
for the cinema,
for the ice
cream parlor, for my
grandmother’s home……but always
ended up in
school!
And
then she had
this understanding with
my class teacher, “Once my
child gets into
the class lock
the door and
teach her. Even
if she cries, howls,
bites someone or
gets bitten by
someone….nothing doing.…just teach
her.”
It
took me a month to
understand that there
was no point
struggling against the inevitable
and how I
learned!
Let’s
do the same
with our men. But since
they are much
smarter than the
little me I suggest
we first ask
them politely and
if they don’t
agree we ask the
judges, the police,
the parliament….and if
this too fails
we will tell
their employers to
send them to
finishing schools! Believe
me they will
not fail their
bosses unless they
have another job in hand! And
then they don’t
get a job
till they have
this finishing
school certificate!
Home
schooling is also
fine but let’s
school them. It’s
time.
I have
another idea, it’s a
little mean but
they too are
mean to us when
they call us
sluts : Just like
men call a
woman slut to
debase her we
should declare ‘to
stab a man
in his groin’
a constitutional equivalent! Because
calling them a stud
makes them feel
like God!
But
since we are a
free world and
all of us humans are
born free, and
they are human
too, so they
should be allowed
to chose from
these options :
1. either go
to finishing school or get home schooled.
2. just like sex education make it a syllabus 'how to respect woman' in regular schools.
3.or
else wear a
groin guard into your underwear
everyday!
On
a conciliatory note : Now
a day’s some
of our men
have learned good
behavior, some of
them have become
dramatically good and
some have surfed
to the other
side of the
spectrum! So in one hand
I have hope
in mankind and
in the other
a small kitchen
knife!

Bharati, I strongly agree with you on this post that women should make the effort to make changes seen. In another word, make enforcement to change the way women are seen or treated. I am highly disgusted with the fact that when a girl becomes a victim of a man's lustful act, the society chooses to hide it under the carpet, blaming the girl for what has happened to her. I am utterly ashamed for mothers who raise their son that ugly way too.
ReplyDeleteSo true. The most worrisome thing is if look closely into our own homes we will find the difference in the way girls and boys are treated. I strongly believe that if mothers love their daughters as much as their sons they will make a huge change to begin with. Home is the first school and a mother is the greatest teacher and a sense of equality at home will teach our men that a woman are no less than them.
