"You are a boy, why are you crying like a girl? what will you do in future if you'll behave like this..Be a Man" A most common line which, I think, every guy next door has listened many times. Whenever a male starts understanding the difference between both the genders, he is told that his gender is physically stronger and he has to take care of the opposite one. But no one puts an asterisk on the statement. "Strong" only refers to physically strong not mentally strong. So, why can't a guy cry, if he loses his job, he loses his parents, he loses his love and even if he is in acute pain. However, "Don't cry like a girl..you are the one who has to understand..who will take care of another.." is the dialogue heard from the people showing sympathy.
I have never noticed any girl offering her seat in public transportation to a male who is very old or suffering from a fracture in his leg or not feeling well or seriously ill. Do all the norms of offering seat to a healthy female are to be followed by us? Or it dosn't matter if we have only one leg or more than two..
We also work in our offices, we also love our children, we also have to take lunch, so why should we obey "Ladies First Principle". However, "ladies first" is just a chivalry given to a women in need.
"We do not provide PGs or Flats to Bachelor guys" I just want to know the reasons behind this lame clause. Do bachelor guys look so desperate? do we ask for the discount in the rent? are we that much handsome that your girl will be attracted to us or are we illiterate that we'll not understand your language.
"Bhaiya mere rakhi ke bandhan ko nibhana" I am still confused how bhaiya of age 5 will look out of bandhan for 15 year behan? Are we born superman or we acquire super powers whenever our sisters get into any trouble. There is no promise from the elder sisters to their younger brothers that i'll help you whenever you are in trouble. Elder sisters did not save us from a biting dog, a horrible looking cockroach, etc etc..
We also work for 8 hours in the office, as females do. So, why are they getting paid more than us? Do we bunk office? Do we take more time to take lunch as we are always busy in chit chat about how funny is she looking in her dress today? why they are exempted from tax more than us? Are we the only smugglers? Do the value of rupee is more in our case? Do we run on water only?
"No helmet on your head? Beta, chalaan to katega hi.." Chandigarh police to a guy, I know, it is a protocol to wear helmet while driving but don't you think it is gender discrimination as helmets are not compulsory for a female. How weird? Do they have iron head? Are they real world iron women? Is there any danger to a concrete road if they by chance fall from their vehicle? Or government takes care of their hairstyle?
I am not raising any question on the other gender nor I want any sympathy for our community. And its not the matter of being a girl or a boy. I just want to highlight certain things which get trumped in my head (i think every male's head) at certain instances. We are raised in the way to respect women and we do respect. But, we, sometime are not as strong as we seem. We do get hurt, we do cry, however, we do not show as it is a matter of "Being a Man".
