GROWING, “STEREOTYPE” MENTALITY OF A FEMINIST GROUP IN INDIA
According to social psychology, a “stereotype” is a thought that can be adopted about specific types of individuals or certain ways of doing things. Now, a group from the feminist circle of India is nowadays drooling over the label, “stereotype”. They are bugging the opposite gender without realizing that literally the gender is getting afraid of them. Feminism have been talking about equality whose demands and rights are till date pending and yet to be fulfilled. Deferring to the above rights of justness nowadays in some areas a rebellious attitude of the feminist has evolved. In every day’s life whenever we both travel we ought to exemplify drastic examples of this self-boomed nature where the ladies search for an opportunity to punch back a guy even if his intentions are good. Basically in public transports although there are special seats for ladies, some ladies come and take seats in the common area. If any elderly citizen comes asking for their respective seats they are either ignored or thrashed back rudely with stern words like, “don’t you see a lady is seating, how dis-respectful you are” and many more. Imagine if the same case would have been altered a new set of drama would have been created by the ladies again saying, “Haven’t you got any shame? Don’t you see these are ladies seats? Can’t you read?” Now unluckily if the guy says, “Mam these are seats in common, not ladies seats”. The direct reply shall be, “How arrogant, don’t you have mother and sisters in your home?” Next thing will be the guy has to slowly get up and leave the seat for the feminist to cut-off the commotion. Oh what a smile of triumph on the face of the feminist seeing the fear on the guys face. Similar cases are seen in the long queue formed in front of the office areas. You will find some ladies coming from nowhere and breaking off the queue just pleading, “Please let me go I am a lady”. Now, if the guys give her the way then in return they get a fake smile but in case if any one re-boots saying, “Please go back in the line” or , “ Please mam find your space in the ladies line”. The immediate brute from the feminist shall be a stern look making the guy feel as if he has murdered somebody and the next line coming out shall be , “How dis-respectful don’t you know how to respect a lady”, etc. etc. etc. & many others. The next scene obliviously shall be the guy giving way for the lady or else is trashed out from the line by other retro-justified crowd who just follow the mess not justifying the truth.
Another such frequent example is, in a public transport when subconsciously a guy touches a gal with his bag which he has been carrying on his back. The feminist gives such a rebellious look as if the guy had tried to sexually harass her. The guy thinks in his sub-conscious mind, “Oh what the hell have I done?” The next thing he does is he grows so over conscious that he is ready to step over a boy next to him but even if he has to face tremendous troubles he won’t stand near to that feminist. Nowadays, many of my friends say, “we are even afraid to travel in a public bus and occupy empty seats. In case a lady boards the bus and I don’t offer my seat to her then what situation shall be I into”. They are literally getting afraid of this stereotypic nature of the feminist group. They even say, “You all shall never know what we have to keep in mind regularly surviving among the crowd. It’s rather getting difficult for us to survive like boys”.
Means come-on, the feminist group had asked for non-discrimination among each other but not by subjugating the opposite. Dominating the other group is only an alarming sign of betrayal. This off-course is the result of the dominating nature pursued by masculine gender from decades long. But still if this enmity nature persists by both then either of the two genders will survive. There are cases till date where girls are molested each and every day in all parts of India, but even there are numerous cases where boys are blackmailed and bound to commit suicides under false accuses by feminists which stories are yet to be heard and revealed.
The want was of even-handedness but the way situations are heading there can come a point where either of the gender shall survive which shall end all. Many shall not agree to our point and think us to be an anti-feminist but truly if someone turns over some pages of their daily life one can find these types of incidents happening almost regularly. Many teenage molestation cases are because of envy and the demonstration for survival of the strongest want. Just look around ladies all guys aren't bad boys but also be aware of those who are sweet to you without any cause.
