I'd spoken about this in my blog of yesterday too. All of a sudden, the media is awash with stories of gang rapes, rapes followed with the murder of the victims and small girls, increasingly, being violated by sex-hungry men - actually, if you were to ask me such men are sick! To add to that the following are equally disturbing:-
(a) Rahul Gandhi calling India, the rape capital of the world. One can have differences of ideology
with one's political adversaries but those battles should not result in utterances against the
country. Since he's the leader of an influential political party, the foreign media especially those
inimical to us - for whatever reasons - is gonna quote him and consequently, bring a bad name
to the country! If he's aspiring to take over the reins of leadership of this country, one day, then
he cannot afford to be frivolous or small in his outlook towards the others and the world in
general because what he says today can haunt him tomorrow!! Or is it that he's trying to tell us
that all the bad things that are happening in this country have been instigated by Modi? If yes,
he's the limit and totally hollow in his upper storey.
I must admit that his words did upset me.
(b) A new found statistic which claimed that 100 rapes take place in this country, everyday. What an
unsubstantiated claim? By doling out such 'mythical' data what are they trying to achieve?
Show the present government in poor light? Aren't the script writers of this horrific tale letting
down their own motherland?
Sad! But I'd like to know how this sort of statistics has come about. Has some serious study
been done in this regard?
Emphasis must be on responsible journalism!

Having given the preamble on the subject, I must share with you this beautiful thought.
I AM A WOMAN!
So what?
I get into an argument
with a man, he slaps me,
I feel the pain, yet they
tell me, I provoked him. I
should have been quiet, I
should have been patient.
I should apologise to him.
I get into an argument
with a man, I slap him,
they tell me I have no
respect, no home
training. I should have
been quiet, I should have
been patient. I should
apologise to him.
Because I am a woman, I
don't have a right to be
angry. So, the degree of
my innocence is directly
proportional to the
degree of my silence in
the face of oppression
and brutality......
Because I am a woman,
my husband cheats on
me, I am told to tolerate it
to save my marriage. The
barbaric and stupid
excuse is that "it is in
their nature to cheat, I
should slim down, dress
better, cook better, pray
harder and be more
pleasant to him".
I cheat and I am called a
whore, I have committed
an abomination, I have no
right to look elsewhere
for the love and
emotional support I lack
at home, I am an
irresponsible mother.
So I an sent packing,
from the home we both
built, with all my earthly
possessions stuffed into
a tiny box on my head. I
an henceforth forbidden
from seeing my two older
children, I am lucky to be
allowed to go with my
little one still suckling on
my left breast. Three
years later, the little one
is tagged a bastard. Now,
my new name is "after-
three", because I am a
woman.
He is 28 and runs a
company. He's tagged
wonderful, hardworking,
focused, career oriented,
successful at a very
young age.
I am 28 and I run a
company "Hmmmm...
she is not even married,
unserious, cannot order
her priorities right, a
hustler, loves money, let
her go and get a husband
oh".
And I wonder if being
successful has anything
to do with a person's
gender.
Because I am a woman,
I am not allowed to have
wits or be a prodigy, I
cannot be financially
buoyant, professionally
successful or be treated
with respect without a
man beside me.
Then I am tagged a
generous leg opener, "a
runs girl". They never see
the possibility that I
actually had to go
through ups and downs
to get to where I am,
because I am a woman.
A man loses his wife to
death and remarries a
year after, he did the right
thing, he's being praised
and congratulated for
moving on, after all life is
for the living.
A woman loses her
husband to death and
remarries after four years,
"Aaah! So early? Are you
sure she wasn't sleeping
with that man even when
her husband was alive?
That was why she killed
her husband. She's a
witch! Because she is a
woman.
because I am a woman,
this post will be
considered controversial
and everyone will try to
correct me. But don't
forget, that I am a woman
and it does not make me
less human!!!
Share to respect some
woman and Tell your
woman that you love her
: *Who is a
woman?????*
When she is quiet,
millions of things are
running through her
mind. When she stares at
you, she is wondering
why she loves you so
much in spite of being
taken for granted. When
she says I will stand by
you, she will stand by you
like a solid rock. Never
hurt her or take her for
granted. A very heart
touching message by a
woman. Someone asked
her, Are you a working
woman or a housewife?
She replied : Yes, I am a
full-time working
housewife. I work 24
hours a day. I'm a Mum.
I'm a Wife. I'm a
Daughter. I'm a Daughter-
in-law. I'm an Alarm
clock. I'm a Cook. I'm a
Maid. I'm a Teacher. I'm a
Waitress. I'm a Nanny.
I'm a Nurse. I'm a
Handywoman. I'm a
Security officer. I'm a
Counsellor. I'm a
Comforter. I don't get
holidays. I don't get sick
leave. I don't get day off. I
work through day and
night. I'm on call all hours
and get paid with a
sentence, "What Do U Do
All Day??" This is
Dedicated to all
women*** A woman has
the most unique
character like salt! Her
presence is never
remembered, but her
absence makes all the
things tasteless. Pass it
to all the lovely ladies....Ur
Mother. Ur Wife. Ur
daughter. Ur sister and Ur
friend.
Note. Whoever wrote this should be given an award!
Tailpiece.
A quiet Saturday when we went about our usual chores.
