The struggle, as it were, will remain with the women. They're the ones who will be at the receiving end of hate crimes, especially in our 'liberated' times.
We got a circular today which we were required to sign, asking us if we'd like to continue being served the swill at the canteen everyday or whether we'd rather receive the cash in hand. It also mentioned that if the cash alternative were opted for, it might be a hazard to employee safety as 'women who would be dining outside the office will have to be accompanied by male colleagues after 9pm'. Alright, yeah, I get it. Oh, don't hasten to explain. I know we're all capable of being raped and attacked during the wee hours, especially if one possesses a vagina.
Some intelligent, 'forward' women I know refuse to go to a pub and are planning on staying indoors on Valentine's day. They say they'd rather just not take a chance. Ok, no problem. Oh, you don't have to snort and say well let them then. Even if a pub gets raided it's not the men who'll be dragged out and stripped in public, no.
And if the men out there would much rather not give a fuck; would rather just shake their head and say, well there's plenty more suffering out there without us having to worry about where you'll have your next beer, that's ok then. Go stick your cigarette butt up at the Iron Maiden's concert this weekend but don't look around and wonder all the women went.
5 people are racking their wee brains on this one:
Hi Prilz,
You are going for the Iron Maiden Concert!
Damn! Why can't they come to Chennai.
Every time its B'lore.
Na, I'm not going; came to know of it too late. I can imagine the turnout if they came to Chennai.. or maybe I'd rather not...
stinging :)
I get that men might trivialize this by getting on high horses and saying, baaah think of the kids too. Hell, I do it too. I get that men don't know it feels to be physically vulnerable. I kinda agree with you on that. But I do ask, why not make a bigger deal about the suffering that helpless women go through? Granted that it is a given that they suffer more, and more frequently, as well. Sena mafuckers be dead and all, but still I ask
...since I know that you dont belong to the 'suppaaa duppaa pseudo feminist' flock. Put the hatchet down and amuse me :)
P.S: Working at guindy industrial estate fucking sucks
Fine, I'll unbury the hatchet from your head :P
Tell me about it, I spent the first five months of my corporate whore life there.
yes yes, I remember meeting you at the godforsaken place...now I moan and bitch a few feet from your previous office...
And thanks for unburying the hatchet, my head was just beginning to hurt :p
