Male-o-philic Society or a beast, petrifying Anxiety.
Once upon a time 3
months ago….. sounds strange right?, but this is what we have pretentiously
assumed that it happened years ago, that there had been a girl who slapped our
society who was found lying in a road. Bleeding away from a life that she was
never allowed to live, and off to a demise that found her dead before it
arrived. Her body that’s bruised with an Iron rod, her intestine that hangs out
of her body in blood and gore, and her eyes that overflow with gallons of a
feeling that no living creature should ever be forced to feel, strips the
entire human race naked in a blink. Raped, abused and dying, Nirbhaya is only twenty
four years old. being the victim of the animalistic instinct of its Own kind.
Time has once again proved that it’s the cure of all pain and pathos.
A lot of things have been said and done
in all concern of artificiality, where we were busy sharing/ liking or updating
status about this heinous crime or may be making a virtual emotions vivid by
having a friends get together in a Candle march .While everyone
writing/expressing their grief in a third person point of view, about the cause
,the reason of my reluctance hesitation was that I not sure of my own
instincts, because everytime it’s my
Co-gender who proves to be a Villain. Everytime it’s a beast within ,that rise
up candidly and overpower the MEN of our society .While I am scribbling on
these pages ,there are incessant questions that bangs my head .How many times I
have ever checked out a cute girl passing by ??,or how many times I have been a part of this discussion where
we all comment about her physical assets .Do I, even have the right to discuss
and express about this new generation
social evil where homo sapiens of my gender is the one who is solely
responsible .If you reading this and you claim to be ‘man’ I ask you the same
questions…How do u feel ??Embarrassed!! Or you bluntly said ‘No, I have never done all this’
lying to yourself, because you don’t wanna take that dirt on your shoulder.
Relax , I am not accusing anyone, neither this is a legal crime for which you
can be penalized ,am just asking you to concentrate on that beast within ,that overpowers you and makses
your actions his slave. God has been selfish enough to make us like that ,so
that this world may go on, but He never knew ,how his over-Intelligent creation, would bring out his beastly tendencies.
Logically and biologically, one
can blame his testosterones over secretion that makes him cross all social
boundaries. It’s ironical yet correct that how male hormones overpowers his
brain. “She was asking for it,” “she was
wearing revealing clothes,” “she has a reputation of ‘sleeping around’” and
“she had been drinking”. When discussing rape, statements such as these are
referred to as victim blaming. Victim blaming justifies the rapist’s actions
while placing blame on the victim. Rape is never the victims’ fault, but still,
victim blaming, believe it or not, is extremely common, even in supposedly
unbiased academic research. Male psychology has reasons of supporting such sexual assaults , sadism ,ego and sense
of being physically powerful are few of the many reasons, but how does he forgets that one-day your mom and your sister
will come to know about it ,and from where will you gather the courage to peep into their eyes, now where does this
part of the psychology Go??..I know and am saying again it’s our beast within .
Last day I read a news ,where a
Uttar Pradesh ,senior police officer boldly accused the rape victim(an elderly
women) for creating false accusation and supported it by saying “Who would rape
a mother of four??”. At least one-thing I inferred “that his choice of raping would be not
an elderly woman:/”.Now this where the
problem lies both the culprit and law person have the same mentality, they both
are governed by the same psychology and unknowingly or sometime even
intentionally we tend to defend our gender. Honestly! I feel it’s just a veil
of social responsibility that help these educated yet ignorant government
officials to suppress there beast within.Indeed a Male-o-philic society it is
,where on one side there are great men making remarkable dents and creating
history and at the same time there are beasts taking gigantic forms with the
moving time.

poignant. you hit the right chords there. Male chauvinism has been residing in our society for too long and this has to somehow cease. A nice post.
