The persistence of hunger and abject poverty in India and other parts of the world is due in large measure to the subjugation, marginalization and dis-empowerment of women. Women suffer from hunger and poverty in greater numbers and to a great degree then men. At the same time, it is women who bear the primary responsibility for actions needed to end hunger: education, nutrition, health and family income.
Looking through the lens of hunger and poverty, there are seven major areas of discrimination against women in India:
Malnutrition: India has exceptionally high rates of child malnutrition, because tradition in India requires that women eat last and least throughout their lives, even when pregnant and lactating. Malnourished women give birth to malnourished children, perpetuating the cycle.
Poor Health: Females receive less health care than males. Many women die in childbirth of easily prevented complications. Working conditions and environmental pollution further impairs women’s health.
Lack of education: Families are far less likely to educate girls than boys, and far more likely to pull them out of school, either to help out at home or from fear of violence.
Overwork: Women work longer hours and their work is more arduous than men’s, yet their work is unrecognized. Men report that “women, like children, eat and do nothing.” Technological progress in agriculture has had a negative impact on women.
Unskilled: In women’s primary employment sector - agriculture - extension services overlook women.
Mistreatment: In recent years, there has been an alarming rise in atrocities against women in India, in terms of rapes, assaults and dowry-related murders. Fear of violence suppresses the aspirations of all women. Female infanticide and sex-selective abortions are additional forms of violence that reflect the devaluing of females in Indian society.
Powerlessness: While women are guaranteed equality under the constitution, legal protection has little effect in the face of prevailing patriarchal traditions. Women lack power to decide who they will marry, and are often married off as children. Legal loopholes are used to deny women inheritance rights.
India has a long history of activism for women’s welfare and rights, which has increasingly focused on women’s economic rights. A range of government programs have been launched to increase economic opportunity for women, although there appear to be no existing programs to address the cultural and traditional discrimination against women that leads to her abject conditions.
These are truths that Rohan, Pune and Vive can’t admit and many more with twisted wrong impressions
These are the hard facts of India which generally Indians try to ignore.
I saw your comment being marked down....maybe for the same reason.
Sometimes mirror scares you...that is what happens with some people after reading such articles. They have defined their limits and are not ready to think beyond that neither are ready to accept change.
India has a long way to go before women(both rural and urban) get the respect they deserve.
Urban women have different set of problems. Because they are educated, they are expected to work full time apart from cooking, cleaning, taking care of the children along with their home works etc. Believe me it is too much for any human body. But every women doesn’t have courage to raise her voice.
Husbands do share the responsibilities but most of the working women are not lucky enough...
Thanks for your peply
It is funny there is just two in our species (male and female) and we can’t seem to do a very good job in respecting each others differences
It makes me feel bad to see the overpowering controll over woman by man and them blind to it
It is hard to believe they could forget their nurturing days and then become so disrespectful to the same people that gave them life
All of the above very true and if at all the Woman protests and puts her feet down or wants to be herself...u have a hue and cry...
It is a pity that even though we venerate the Lady as mothers and Goddesses....
In fact in Urban India there is at least an awareness and assertiveness...But in the Rural parts...The woman just cannot fight ....what with the typical mind sets of even authorities....forget the society and individuals...
We may commend ourselves for all the laws....but where is the implementation..Look at where the Womans Bill in Parliment has gone after all these years....
It is a fact that Men deep down just cannot accept the women as equals...irrespective of what may be said...
”India has a long way to go before women(both rural and urban) get the respect they deserve.”
That’s a complete half-truth and an exaggerated one. The men’s perspective is not even recognised.
”Urban women have different set of problems. Because they are educated, they are expected to work full time apart from cooking, cleaning, taking care of the children along with their home works etc. Believe me it is too much for any human body. But every women doesn’t have courage to raise her voice.”
Not all cases. I can show you lakhs of women in urban areas who are housewives. Their husbands earn and they are full time homemakers.
What I have observed from your comments of different posts is that you or someone close to you in the family/friends, have become a victim to the feminists. See the basic idea behind feminism is to let women have the rights that they are deprived off from centuries by some chauvinistic males. It is not at all to abuse men in any way…but you must have heard about “there is always an exception”.
When the feminists says, “all men are bastards”, there are people including women (like me), who’ll say that there are exceptions. Similar is the case in women. Not all women are suffering…some are leading a very happy and contented life with their families. Amongst feminists or non- feminists, there are women who are corrupt and cheat their own family for many reasons. It can be money, affairs or even a dominating behavior.
Anyone who is weak will fall victim to such people. In case woman is weak, she’ll suppress and vice versa. But trying to suppress other gender will never solve the issue. Both the genders need to understand that every human being deserves respect. The day ‘dominating gender’ will understand this, problem will be solved. And this is not impossible. It can be done if we teach our children to respect every human being, be it male or female. On the other hand, we also need to learn that we will stand and fight against any oppression of the opposite sex. And it applies to both male and female gender.
This article is neither biased nor against males. It is just showing the pathetic condition of women in the rural areas, which is true and you know that. Similarly women in urban areas have their own problems as I stated earlier. Again women who are cheating are the exceptions. Please try to focus on the basic agenda, rather than highlighting the exceptions. As far as the sufferings of men are concerned, that is another issue which can be mentioned in another post and discussed there.
I have tried really hard to not to hurt your sentiments in any way. Still if I did, please accept my apologies in advance :)
In short we should follow the principle of Live and Let Live. Cheers and God Bless!
”See the basic idea behind feminism is to let women have the rights that they are deprived off from centuries by some chauvinistic males. It is not at all to abuse men in any way…but you must have heard about “there is always an exception”.
Feminism has grown from a small movement of genuine people to a large movement of anti-male, anti-family people. It is no longer about women’s genuine rights. Its about women’s rights without responsibilities. It is about anti-male sentiments and misandry. I have seen how many many men are suffering due to feminism. If feminism was all that wonderful creation, why should there be sufferings at all? Obviously, something is wrong with it. Read the book, ”Who stole feminism”. It is written by a woman, I think a feminist lady herself.
”When the feminists says, “all men are bastards”, there are people including women (like me), who’ll say that there are exceptions.”
Are you saying that all men are bastards with some exceptions? Clarify on this. I get the feeling that you are anti-male.
”Similar is the case in women. Not all women are suffering…some are leading a very happy and contented life with their families. Amongst feminists or non- feminists, there are women who are corrupt and cheat their own family for many reasons. It can be money, affairs or even a dominating behavior.”
I agree with this. But feminism thinks otherwise. It believes that the testosterone hormone causes all problems in the world and is the root of all evil. This is the era of female victimhood and Wayne illogical has posted another of those billions of articles to promote and market the female victimhood theory so that feminazis can mint money.
”Anyone who is weak will fall victim to such people. In case woman is weak, she’ll suppress and vice versa. But trying to suppress other gender will never solve the issue. Both the genders need to understand that every human being deserves respect. The day ‘dominating gender’ will understand this, problem will be solved. And this is not impossible. It can be done if we teach our children to respect every human being, be it male or female. On the other hand, we also need to learn that we will stand and fight against any oppression of the opposite sex. And it applies to both male and female gender.”
I agree with this 100%. But none of the feminists and women’s groups want this to happen because their bread and butter is dependent on women’s oppression and female victimhood is the product that they are selling to make money.
”This article is neither biased nor against males. It is just showing the pathetic condition of women in the rural areas, which is true and you know that. Similarly women in urban areas have their own problems as I stated earlier. Again women who are cheating are the exceptions. Please try to focus on the basic agenda, rather than highlighting the exceptions. As far as the sufferings of men are concerned, that is another issue which can be mentioned in another post and discussed there.”
I am not against this article per se. I am against the over-emphasis of the problems of women vis-a-vis the problems of men. Rural women suffer. I agree with you. Rural men also suffer. But nobody wants to show that aspect. Further, rural women’s pathetic condition [I agree with the essence of this article] is misused by urban women to push for more and more anti-male laws and agenda. We should STOP this marketing of female victimhood and promote humanism. With more and more articles and news about female victimhood, the society is outraged and guys like me are seeing the outcome in the form of discrimination of men, misandry and androphobia.
”See the basic idea behind feminism is to let women have the rights that they are deprived off from centuries by some chauvinistic males.”
I guess the time has come to start masculism as an answer to feminism to let men have the same rights as women and to save the men from the clutches of feminazis who are the new-age Talibans.
”It is a fact that Men deep down just cannot accept the women as equals...irrespective of what may be said...”
Nor can women accept men as their equals. They want the benefits of tradition in this modern world and want men to protect them, sympathise and empathise with them, want the laws to be in their favour, want men to provide for them, want moral superiority over men and yet claim equality.
Don’t be too pessimistic -India has a lot of good qualities as well and other countries could learn from India
I realize it is the mentality of men in general and will be difficult for woman no mater where men want to raise their ugly heads
Thanks and hope things get better soon
Absolutely one-sided and spreading the gender war. I can show you millions of cases where this is not true at all. Women misuse the gender laws. Feminism is an evil that has influenced women to wage a war against men for perceived discrimination. The men’s perspective is never even recognised.
You can live in your own fool’s paradise. Each passing year and each passing generation, the men are realising that they are getting fooled by feminism. Men’s rights in India and in many other nations has taken birth which was hitherto not existing. In India, from nowhere, men’s groups have spread awareness of their existence. These are small beginnings. The wheel of time moves on. More and more men would feel let down. Its happening; Its REAL. Feminazis have to grow up and get over the evolution syndrome wherein they believe that as time moves on, things improve. The answer is Yes and No. In many ways, human beings have transcended animals big time. We are heading towards a more and more complicated life and the earth is in much more danger than ever before. Families are collapsing and gender war has started.
If you women and feminists don’t stop this bullshit of creating an atmosphere of misandry, androphobia and portraying men as bad and women as victims, we men will definately organise and fight back!!! So be careful. Think of what is in store for you once a large section of men get affected by feminazism.
Your narrow mind cannot understand anything more than what you said. Men have absolutely no problem doing that. In ancient times, because there were no machines, men were exhausted after work. Today, the exhaustion is of a different nature, though. The problem is that you feminazis don’t want to pay the price of equality. START PAYING THE PRICE OF EQUALITY. IF YOU EXPECT GUYS TO DO ALL THAT, START PAYING MAINTENANCE AND ALIMONY TO THEM....DON’T EXPECT GUYS TO GIVE YOU MONEY. MARRY UNEMPLOYED MEN. DO ALL THAT WHICH GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
All of the above very true and if at all the Woman protests and puts her feet down or wants to be herself...u have a hue and cry...
It is a pity that even though we venerate the Lady as mothers and Goddesses....

Well said- but sad to think change has to be so difficult and slow
I don’t know how a man -if they love their partner COULD put a bigger part of the burden of everyday life on the woman and not love their genes male or female equality
We sure went adrift over the centuries
accurately written article. Very apt and very true. In this situation, I do not see ”India Shining”.
pathetic situations that women face.
Thanks- and my only point of writing this is to show some of the stubborn men that all is not good with woman issues in India
Men are used to pushing their power on the weak and have a hard time giving up a little of their control
we men will not allow dirty feminazism at any cost. if you call that ”pushing power”, you can do so. we are not eunuchs as western men are.
the time for writing a book on status of man has come. Oppressing men and suppressing their problems is going to back fire some day for feminists.
Some stubborn men have read it and marked it down in their quest to pretend it doesn’t happen
I am afraid that in India equality for woman by man is still a long way off
Being a male i find love and respect for woman comes naturally and how could i look into the face of my daughter, mother, or wife and find them lesser than me–i would suffer a thousand deaths before i would hurt or disrespect another human being
Know the other side too. False cases and torture by women.

When people bump heads over things that they can’t change the only thing that happens is they both get headaches
Lets try this Rohan –if you need help my hand is out to you ,or any man
If a woman had a hand out for help my hand would be out to her as well
If a child male or female had a hand out for help i would reach out to help them as well and isn’t that what you would want from men and woman
In the end i love all humans men and woman as we all should and now that i sent you some love can you send me some
Rohan i know you and Arvind are good souls who think that by bombarding your concerns will change minds but what it does is alienate you and take away from your very bright minds ,love Rohan—Wayne
”When people bump heads over things that they can’t change the only thing that happens is they both get headaches”
Then why are you posting this article when you know that you really cannot solve all problems of India?
”Rohan –if you need help my hand is out to you ,or any man
If a woman had a hand out for help my hand would be out to her as well
If a child male or female had a hand out for help i would reach out to help them as well and isn’t that what you would want from men and woman”
Yes. So, why are you in denial of discrimination of men? You simply refuse to accept that men are discriminated.
”In the end i love all humans men and woman as we all should and now that i sent you some love can you send me some
Rohan ”
Certainly. But you cannot be fooling yourself with love. Love is fine with people who deserve it.
”i know you and Arvind are good souls who think that by bombarding your concerns will change minds but what it does is alienate you and take away from your very bright minds ,love Rohan—Wayne”
We are here to create awareness. If people take it, it is fine. or else, they learn their lessons the hard way. Its their choice. People who refused to believe us some 2 years back are today agreeing with us after seeing the real sufferings.
I put my right hand out and you cut it off
Now i put my left hand out and hope you won’t cut it off –LOVE –WAYNE
AS long as you don’t preach hatred of men, claim moral superiority of women, sympathise with women more than men, and as long as you understand and recognise the problems of men as being as important as that of women, I have no problems at all.
None of this is happening with you. I have no problems with women’s rights as long as men’s rights are also recognised. This is not happening now. WE are living amidst misandry, androphobia, feminism etc. This is not fair for men.
”Rohan, A good idea on masculinism...But i guess it should wait another 2000 years to get started because right now we are in a balancing mode. we women want to give men back what they gave us for 2000 years (d estimate is actually less). After that, think about masculinism.”
I am glad that you have admitted the TRUE and REAL intention of feminism that I was trying to emphasise. Great! But where did you get this 2000 year figure from? Feminazi books? And what was before those 2000 years? Nobody wants to tell that. Well, this line of argument clearly shows that feminism is a movement to wage a war against men. Its not about equality. Now I can understand what went before those so-called 2000 years and there is no proof about 2000 years. [History about women is purely what feminists want society to believe].
”Am glad that you think us as new age taliban...we thought of you and other men the same way till few years back...so as i said we are on balancing mode. It will be only just if men could get a taste of their own poison!!!”
Let the women get the taste first. Ladies first. Ask for 33% reservation in tasting poison. Well, the poison is feminism, the new Talibanism.
”since when ’men’ have been talking about fairness. and women had all the liberties and freedom since time immemorial, then i guess there would have been no feminism...no equality clashes...so i guess ”as you sow so shall you reap” and you cannot escape this fact rohan.. and ya women are much morally superior to men...accept it or reject..we do not give a damn... chitra”
This shows your hatred for men than anything else. I never said that men are all good. But I condemn the way women are claiming moral superiority over men. If indeed it is true, stop asking for equality. Nobody knows what happened 10 centuries ago or even before that. Nobody wants to explore why restrictions were imposed on women. Check that first. The way you are blasting, it shows what moral superiority you have over me. It shows that you are no way moral superior to men and you are having the same weaknesses as men have. You are not for equality but a sort of hatred and revenge. I just want women to stop taking advantages of tradition and modernity. P
”since when ’men’ have been talking about fairness. and women had all the liberties and freedom since time immemorial, then i guess there would have been no feminism...no equality clashes...so i guess ”as you sow so shall you reap” and you cannot escape this fact rohan..”
Since when have women been talking about fairness? They wanted men to do all the difficult jobs and protect and provide them. While they were in the safe confines of their homes. Now, since technology has made life easier, they want equality. This is called fairness.
”as you sow so shall you reap”
This applies to women aswell. Two wrongs cannot make a right. But you are trying to do that. It shows your moral superiority when you say that harm should be inflicted on men just because of harm was inflicted on women for some time. [We do not know how long it was. Feminism claims it to be 2000 years without evidence.] So much for moral superiority of women.
”Rohan, Why do you have any problem with reservation?”
In an equal society, there cannot be undue preference to any person or section of society. Reservations are anti-equality. It is based on the wrong notion that two wrongs make a right.
”And secondly, it is you who do not know the true and real meaning of feminism...how about going through a few books and come back to comment on feminism. know the origins of feminism and you would know what role MEN played in it...your comments sound as if you are anti-female”
I know what feminism is in reality. I don’t need to know theories from books. They mean nothing when in reality we see women like you who are waging a war against men. I am not a woman hater. I am a feminist hater. That is for sure. Feminists include men and women. I hate them both. I love women but I am pained the way they are being brainwashed by feminists. Ultimately, feminism is a war against men as you yourself have made comments to that effect and it is a movement that is anti-male, anti-family, anti-marriage and even anti-women. Anti-women because it forces a woman to work and in the end, when men realise the discrimination, they would force the women back into their cocoons. History repeats itself. The unknown number of years that women were discriminated were preceded by a similar situation of male discrimination and immoral behaviour.
”Rohan, ”stop asking for equality” my...my... really good...it shows just how a great chauvinist you are who is afraid that his rights will vanish if women are equal to men..Nothing new rohan...I have seen many like you who are now burning in the hell they have created... By the way, since your views are so anti-female, how do you treat the women in your life? What if any women you know faced harassment and she demanded justice?”
Oh my goodness! Another radical feminazi out here! I have seen plenty of you Chitra. You want female domination and call that equality? You want women to take the advantages of tradition and modernity and is that equality for you? Start paying up for equality. You can burn in hell if you wish but start paying up!
How do I treat women? I don’t allow them to take advantages of tradition and modernity. My women are not anti-male as you are!
”Rohan, Earlier we did not as women were trained to be passive, but we have been talking about fairness since the day we realised we had been trampled upon. And please, nobody asked men to provide for us. Read theories on ”evolution” you will get to know men have the instinct to protect people around them especially their families. ” This applies to women aswell.”
Women were trained to be passive and in return they got moral superiority. Today, women cannot claim that right as women are liberated and aggressive. You claim to be fair but you are doing the same wrong which men committed. You cannot claim to be fair anymore. Women of earlier centuries were indeed fair Not women now. I have read enough stories of evolution and I know that the earliest man was the hunter and the woman was the gatherer. Since the dangers were too great from nature, and men were the stronger sex, they were protecting the women. Now, you feminists want men to continue to do that but same time want equality. You want moral superiority and still claim equality? What nonsense. Yes, women want men to protect and provide for them. That’s why they claim alimony and maintenance inspite of working and getting good salaries.
”Not even women are interested to dig out ghosts of the pasts..but you know some men do have less understanding..thats when we dig out the past to show them the mirror on the miseries they inflected upon us...One cannot escape one’s past. At the same time, I am not saying that all men should suffer because of some thing done thousands of years ago...ok?”
If women don’t want to dig past, then don’t.You dig past when it suits you. I didn’t know that today;s men were responsible for the miseries of yesteryears women. I didn’t know that men of today have been living for centuries. I didn’t know that you have been around for centuries too see all that.
”So lets get down to contemporary times. Do you know the crime rate against women? Or the sexual abuses? Or the rape cases done on the name of morality? In the name of proving their masculinity, they are degrading themselves more.”
Yes, but do you know the crime rate against men? Do you know that when a woman complains, even if it is false, there are several laws to deal with the man. These laws are cognisable, non-bailable, non-compoundable and treat the man ”Guilty until proven innocent”. When the man complains against a woman,the society laughs at him even though we boast to be an equal society. The police can at best file a non-cognisable complaint. Noncognisable means -No cognisance, and such cases don’t get added to the NCRB statistics. So, we now know why huge number of crimes on women are shown as statistics while there are no statistics about crimes on men. Men don’t need to prove their masculinity. It is feminists who are bloating statistics and imprisoning men at will and harming their own cause.
”What is lacking is an awareness about both genders. And education helps a lot. But sometimes education does not help seeing your comments. Every movement has a darker side, so has feminism. No doubt that some women use it negatively (as you said), but if you would have understood feminism, I bet your perceptions would have been different.”
I am not a fool to educate myself with feminist textbooks and read feminist magazines like femina and women’s era. I am glad that you accept that feminism has the darker side. But feminism in its very concept is absurd as it does not recognise the differences between men and women. Men and women are biologically different and hence their roles also have to be different. THis, feminism does not recognise. Equality is concept born out of such intellectual bankruptisy.
”Chitra, I suggest you stop debating it out with Rohan. He is not ready to respect the views of other people who do not agree with him. He turns personal and abusive. I don’t know what he has against feminists and how they have harmed him, but he has taken it upon himself to sabotage the development of women in India which he terms as ’feminist’”
I respect others views as long as they don’t abuse me and as long as they don’t argue for the sake of it. I have seen enough of your arguments which are merely aimed at arguments and for their own sake. I have everything against feminists because they are harming the men and their fundamental rights. Feminism is not just an anti-male movement but an anti-women movement too as more than 1.3 Lakh women were arrested without investigation in the last 5 years. So much for feminism and feminazism.
”Rohan, Exactly, there should not be any reservation. But if men are not mentally ready to accept women as equal, I am afraid but we have learned to ask for our rights!!!
Are women ready to accept men as equal? They are not! They want the advantages of tradition and modernity. Hence, this reservation and equality is a clever trick by feminists to fool men. Equality never existed between men and women as women were considered morally superior to men and empathy and sympathy were always for women. Women were the first to be taken off a sinking ship and they got away with lesser punishments for the same crimes while men bore the brunt of such pamperment of women. So, men should ask for equality and rights. Men should learn to ask for equality and rights.
Well, You mean to say women should not work????? this just PROVES your mentality rohan. you are one of those women who think women are for kitchen and sex only; men who treat women as doormat. Your comment showed you fall into this category. Very sorry to say that.
In the west, the feminists forced women out to work, to neglect their families and break free from their traditional roles At the same time, men were never allowed to break free from tradition and men are still expected to protect and provide for women. I believe that women and men being different have their own unique roles to play. Feminists like you cannot digest anything other that your theories. I believe that women are nurturers and that is their primary role. That does’t make them sex-machines or baby producing machines. Men are the provider and protectors of society as historically, they have always done that against external threat. This doesn;t make men ATM machines and disposable creatures as women want them to be. It doesn;t mean that women are doormats; nor does it make men disposable dogs for women. It is a mutual arrangement for the benefit of society and it has been going on since ages.
”And ” anti-family”...IS REARING FAMILIES THE ONLY DESTINY OF WOMEN??? not surprising this is coming from you. And who has given men the right to ”force the women back into their cocoons.” you think what men do are for good and their words should be followed by women without any questions.If you think this, you are gravely wrong in your understanding of women. Not even 0.001% has gone into you head.
Is protecting and providing for women the only destiny of men? Start paying up for equality then. Fine, do what you like but start paying up! Stop asking for moral superiority, stop demanding empathy as men also crave for it and start paying the price of equality. Start paying men maintenance and alimony. Stand at the border and defend the nation. Die like a dog and let your hubbies claim your insurance and other benefits. I am fine with it then.
”Rohan, Why do you have any problem with reservation?”——————————-
Why do I have a problem? The same reason why you have a problem with dowry, Taliban, sati, discrimination of women etc. Have you gone nuts? You don’t have a concept of equality and are claiming to be an equalist.
”And secondly, it is you who do not know the true and real meaning of feminism...how about going through a few books and come back to comment on feminism.”——————————-
Bookisk knowledge eh? BTW, I have read enough to know that feminism is all about hatred of men, misandry, androphobia and to treat men like dogs!!! If feminism was not that, then we wouldn’t have anti-male laws and institutions.
"I am not a woman hater. I am a feminist hater. That is for sure. Feminists include men and women. I hate them both. I love women but I am pained the way they are being brainwashed by feminists."
This post is bout women and not feminists. Why do you have to drag every conversation on the same topic? Earlier women used to feel bad for men’s behavior, now its opposite. Fair enough. Accept it. Nothing will change by posting 200 more comments here. Please do something constructive in your life.
”This post is bout women and not feminists. Why do you have to drag every conversation on the same topic?”
Its about how women are portrayed and how men are blamed for it. Hence it is about feminism. If men are fairly portrayed, I have no problem.
”Earlier women used to feel bad for men’s behavior, now its opposite. Fair enough. Accept it. Nothing will change by posting 200 more comments here.”
I am glad that you accept that men are feeling bad. But its not fair enough and why should I accept it? Can you accept women being protrayed badly?
”Please do something constructive in your life.”
That’s none of your business!
Sanwali explained things to you in very straight and neutral manner. Still you are beating around the bush. The problem with you is that you have a closed mind in this matter and arguing with a closed minded person is stupidity. So I request Chitra to move out of this conversation coz some men never change.
”Sanwali explained things to you in very straight and neutral manner. Still you are beating around the bush.

So I request Chitra to move out of this conversation coz some men never change.”
I agreed with Sanwali. But Chitra started it off by saying that men should suffer. So, I am not in conversation with Sanwali. I am here with Chitra. Read the posts and you will know better. It is women like you who have a closed mind. Not me. I have already agreed with Sanwali. Chitra has no business to attack men.
”Hi Chitra, that is the reason exactly I unsubscribed from a thread. He is trying to hijack this thread too.”
I have clearly mentioned what I intended to. With Sanwali, things were clear. I also explained to Wayne and it was fine. But why the hell did Chitra start off from nowhere when things were fine?
I put my left hand out and you cut it off as well- but i still have my voice so i am saying to you –have a nice day and hope your journey goes without bumps
Now all i ask of you is to tell me to –have a nice day
Your fellow male and human Wayne!
you have no right to degrade india in this manner without knowing the facts. Do you know you stand liable to be sued for defamation for this wrong information ?
No disrespect and if i did please forgive me
Virag i will try not to do that!
Have a good day and peace be with you
and whatever is on the other side has been suppressed by feminists and women.
Thanks for your kind thoughts
I think every human has a sence of good will towards others ,even if they disagree and i think Rohan unless mentally ill is a hard nut with a good soul
We can only work on one issue at a time as each has their own and different set of circumstances
A life of misery is only felt by the individual living it
The women of India need to help other women. It is wrong to lay blame on Men.
I see Indian world with five dimensions
a) Caste b) Class c)Religion d)Language e) Gender.
India is a mix of these dimensions. Blaming men for all ills is a western way of identifying problems and solving.
Guess what, all these years in Catholic religion, women never had any powers? So will you blame Men?
Hope all is well
Madhup I am not blaming anyone or do i have a solution for the problems of woman in India
All i am doing is walking through life and when i see something i say (oh )there is a bad situation or there is something interesting in life
I take no stand or judge anything, i am just walking through a Forrest of life looking and commenting with no expertise on how it grew or how to make it grow better
There are billions of eyes that see things and i have only two
”Guess what, all these years in Catholic religion, women never had any powers? So will you blame Men?”
Nobody goes into the background and question why it happened at all. Nobody questions why and what led to discrimination of women for several years. We cannot have history without any reason and with one-sided propaganda. We know only a small part of the truth.
”Don’t take offence Rohan, but have you ever considered seeing clinical psychiatrist to solve this ever burning desire in you to criticise women without any strong foundation? Why are you deviating from the essence of wayne’s article. It is about the plight of women and not a thesis on feminism.”
It is women like you who need to consult psychiatrists as you said,”Men should get back what they inflicted for 2000 years” which is a sadistic statement, irrational and illogical besides violent. AS though today’s men liked for 2000 years and have been inflicting pain on today’s women who also lived for 2000 years. This analysis is a new form of disease. I don’t critizise women. When I say ”Women”, I mean feminist women like you. That’s what I meant. Not all women are feminists. Many of my own friends are not. I apologise for calling all women feminists with that gap in communication. I only meant feminist-women. Not all women. The foundation of how feminists manipulate the system is already there. They want the advantages of tradition and modernity for women. Rights without responsibilities.
Lastly, I was clear about Wayne’s article and I have mentioned it to him and Sanwali too. But I am offended by your comment that today’s men should pay for 2000 years. [Not that I believe such numbers anyway. You cannot expect me to take it lying down.
”Rohan, Well fine, consider me an anti-male. I do not give a damn to what you think.. ”
Nor do I care for your stupid allegations.
”Nothing more can be accepted out of you. I am very sure the women you know must be suffocated with your presence and staunch views. Its not me who have to pay up...it’s you who have to. burn in your helll, if not now, but later for sure.”
Women around me don’t ask me both ways. They know that I don’t pamper them like other men. Women like you should burn in hell for spoiling other women. Utimately, women themselves will suffer.
”You know what your problem is. YOU ARE AFRAID seeing the new surge of women demanding their rights of equality. You are afraid that your place as a MAN will be snatched away by a woman. Thats what your problem is.”
Women want not equality but rights without resonsibilities as you yourself have said, ”Next 2000 years, the men have to suffer”. I am not an idiot to keep quiet about it. Slowly the other men are realising it too.
”And believe me, women are not interested in snatching away anyone’s rights which you are going to disagree again...You are simply very predictable.”
Your statments don’t mean anything as what we are witnessing is something very different. Don’t be a hypocrat as your own statements earlier have said that men should suffer discrimination.
”WHY NOT ENLIGHTEN US ON YOUR NOBLE THOUGHTS ON FEMALE EQUALITY?”
I have already said this. But I repeat. Men and women are biologically different and have different roles to play. There is no comparison between two differently abled creatures. They are both equal but different. Feminism is unnatural and intellectually bankrupt as it does not even recognise these differences. Utopian views don’t help as they are not practical. Rest, I have explained it earlier. No need to repeat.
”ROHAN will reply to this comment when i am little bit free. you can expect a long sermon”
I am not interested in these discussions as they get me nowhere. Society learns its lessons the hard way. You can go ahead with your views. I have the right to my views. I have made everybody know that there are different shades of opinion and not everybody agrees with feminazism. That’s enough for me.
The plight of some rural women has been converted into a man-bashing one and spreading hatred of men. This is where the problem lies. Feminists need to be consulting Psychiatrists. Its an incurable illness for feminists though.
all is well. thanks.
Glad you accept my point and also the same two eyes can identify the other dimensions in each of these women photos.
It is a multi-dimensional upliftment that will serve these women rather than single.
Let you be blessed with God, Class, Caste, Region, and Gendered thoughts
@Rohan
You are treated the way you treat others..so basically men who get bad treatment from women are doing the same to other women. These men who moan about men’s rights are either too demanding or their expectations are unrealistic. They should first change their attitude towards women and see the difference…. I don’t hate me…all the men I know are angels…doesn’t mean all male species are so... I treat them love and respect and I get back the same from them.
What you preach here and the examples you provide constitutes only a minority of men. Those men who know to treat women will have a different version about women. There are many men in this site who talk about women with respect…and they don’t have any complaints about women abusing men..
Bottom line is men who are abused by women are letting them do it! No men or no women can exploit the opposite sex unless they let them do it.
Making a new law for men abuse is not gonna change anything.. we do have law for women abuse..still its happening everyday.
nowadays every tom, dick and harry file cases and corruption ensures the harrasment of men, his men/women members of family. such blatant misuse is undermining noble causes.
For feminists like you, the so-called time wrap is applicable only when it suits them. When it comes to inconvenient issues such as making domestic violence against men by women a crime or paying alimony to men, maintenance to men or fighting in combat, women want tradition to prevail. They want to be in a time wrap. They still blame the men and accuse them of being in a time wrap. You call me immatured just because I am frank and open about the feminist fraud. Tolerance is okay upto a point. Not when fraud is taking place.
is this article an copy and paste ?
http://www.thp.org/where_we_work/south_asia/india/research_reports/chronic_hunger_and_status_of_women
thats what you see from a far off country....the real truth is always double sided. Because you are not shown the other side, you do not come to know. Know the other side too. www.mynation.net, www.savefamily.org, www.498a.org, www.saveindianfamily.org
A grade one student could do better than this
Come on roll out more hate
There is noting better than give a human a feeling of purpose
The pointing out of fraud and double standards of feminism does not amount to any hatred of women. It just means that I am not afraid of speaking the truth! Get that right! Just because you want to desperately please women, you keep twisting the facts to divert the attention because there is no other way you can defend the fraud.
He has no causes but the inherent thought of vengeance and proves my point here that hate is our superior emotion
Are men any less than women for their problems not to be addressed?
Just because people do not have the guts to write truth, they keep writing politically correct things just to stay in the crowd.
The media is filled with sob stories of women, what’s the big deal in writing about that?
Some facts about men :-

http://wemen.us/articles/views/26-indian-men-an-epitome-of-sacrifices.html
Merely shouting does not make a truth, there need to be statistics as well.
What happened to all the protecting and providing that you claim men do? If they can protect and provide for women then they can protect and provide for themselves and don’t need any special treatment.
Indian govt. must stop pampering the urban women and try to help the rural women.

Local Opinions (84)
These are the hard facts of India which generally Indians try to ignore.
I saw your comment being marked down....maybe for the same reason.
Sometimes mirror scares you...that is what happens with some people after reading such articles. They have defined their limits and are not ready to think beyond that neither are ready to accept change.
India has a long way to go before women(both rural and urban) get the respect they deserve.
Urban women have different set of problems. Because they are educated, they are expected to work full time apart from cooking, cleaning, taking care of the children along with their home works etc. Believe me it is too much for any human body. But every women doesn’t have courage to raise her voice.
Husbands do share the responsibilities but most of the working women are not lucky enough...
All of the above very true and if at all the Woman protests and puts her feet down or wants to be herself...u have a hue and cry...
It is a pity that even though we venerate the Lady as mothers and Goddesses....
In fact in Urban India there is at least an awareness and assertiveness...But in the Rural parts...The woman just cannot fight ....what with the typical mind sets of even authorities....forget the society and individuals...
We may commend ourselves for all the laws....but where is the implementation..Look at where the Womans Bill in Parliment has gone after all these years....
It is a fact that Men deep down just cannot accept the women as equals...irrespective of what may be said...

accurately written article. Very apt and very true. In this situation, I do not see ”India Shining”.
pathetic situations that women face.
”India has a long way to go before women(both rural and urban) get the respect they deserve.”
That’s a complete half-truth and an exaggerated one. The men’s perspective is not even recognised.
”Urban women have different set of problems. Because they are educated, they are expected to work full time apart from cooking, cleaning, taking care of the children along with their home works etc. Believe me it is too much for any human body. But every women doesn’t have courage to raise her voice.”
Not all cases. I can show you lakhs of women in urban areas who are housewives. Their husbands earn and they are full time homemakers.
Absolutely one-sided and spreading the gender war. I can show you millions of cases where this is not true at all. Women misuse the gender laws. Feminism is an evil that has influenced women to wage a war against men for perceived discrimination. The men’s perspective is never even recognised.
Know the other side too. False cases and torture by women.

Your statement of truth is not a complete truth. It is a half-truth restricted to rural areas. Urban women and feminists put up gory pictures of these women and make money out of them. While these women continue with their misery, the urban women and feminazis mint money. Same time, the rural men are also in pathetic condition which is not exposed by feminist supporters like you. Can you focus on the pathetic condition of rural men too?
”When people bump heads over things that they can’t change the only thing that happens is they both get headaches”
Then why are you posting this article when you know that you really cannot solve all problems of India?
”Rohan –if you need help my hand is out to you ,or any man
If a woman had a hand out for help my hand would be out to her as well
If a child male or female had a hand out for help i would reach out to help them as well and isn’t that what you would want from men and woman”
Yes. So, why are you in denial of discrimination of men? You simply refuse to accept that men are discriminated.
”In the end i love all humans men and woman as we all should and now that i sent you some love can you send me some
Rohan ”
Certainly. But you cannot be fooling yourself with love. Love is fine with people who deserve it.
”i know you and Arvind are good souls who think that by bombarding your concerns will change minds but what it does is alienate you and take away from your very bright minds ,love Rohan—Wayne”
We are here to create awareness. If people take it, it is fine. or else, they learn their lessons the hard way. Its their choice. People who refused to believe us some 2 years back are today agreeing with us after seeing the real sufferings.
What I have observed from your comments of different posts is that you or someone close to you in the family/friends, have become a victim to the feminists. See the basic idea behind feminism is to let women have the rights that they are deprived off from centuries by some chauvinistic males. It is not at all to abuse men in any way…but you must have heard about “there is always an exception”.
When the feminists says, “all men are bastards”, there are people including women (like me), who’ll say that there are exceptions. Similar is the case in women. Not all women are suffering…some are leading a very happy and contented life with their families. Amongst feminists or non- feminists, there are women who are corrupt and cheat their own family for many reasons. It can be money, affairs or even a dominating behavior.
Anyone who is weak will fall victim to such people. In case woman is weak, she’ll suppress and vice versa. But trying to suppress other gender will never solve the issue. Both the genders need to understand that every human being deserves respect. The day ‘dominating gender’ will understand this, problem will be solved. And this is not impossible. It can be done if we teach our children to respect every human being, be it male or female. On the other hand, we also need to learn that we will stand and fight against any oppression of the opposite sex. And it applies to both male and female gender.
This article is neither biased nor against males. It is just showing the pathetic condition of women in the rural areas, which is true and you know that. Similarly women in urban areas have their own problems as I stated earlier. Again women who are cheating are the exceptions. Please try to focus on the basic agenda, rather than highlighting the exceptions. As far as the sufferings of men are concerned, that is another issue which can be mentioned in another post and discussed there.
I have tried really hard to not to hurt your sentiments in any way. Still if I did, please accept my apologies in advance :)
In short we should follow the principle of Live and Let Live. Cheers and God Bless!
”See the basic idea behind feminism is to let women have the rights that they are deprived off from centuries by some chauvinistic males. It is not at all to abuse men in any way…but you must have heard about “there is always an exception”.
Feminism has grown from a small movement of genuine people to a large movement of anti-male, anti-family people. It is no longer about women’s genuine rights. Its about women’s rights without responsibilities. It is about anti-male sentiments and misandry. I have seen how many many men are suffering due to feminism. If feminism was all that wonderful creation, why should there be sufferings at all? Obviously, something is wrong with it. Read the book, ”Who stole feminism”. It is written by a woman, I think a feminist lady herself.
”When the feminists says, “all men are bastards”, there are people including women (like me), who’ll say that there are exceptions.”
Are you saying that all men are bastards with some exceptions? Clarify on this. I get the feeling that you are anti-male.
”Similar is the case in women. Not all women are suffering…some are leading a very happy and contented life with their families. Amongst feminists or non- feminists, there are women who are corrupt and cheat their own family for many reasons. It can be money, affairs or even a dominating behavior.”
I agree with this. But feminism thinks otherwise. It believes that the testosterone hormone causes all problems in the world and is the root of all evil. This is the era of female victimhood and Wayne illogical has posted another of those billions of articles to promote and market the female victimhood theory so that feminazis can mint money.
”Anyone who is weak will fall victim to such people. In case woman is weak, she’ll suppress and vice versa. But trying to suppress other gender will never solve the issue. Both the genders need to understand that every human being deserves respect. The day ‘dominating gender’ will understand this, problem will be solved. And this is not impossible. It can be done if we teach our children to respect every human being, be it male or female. On the other hand, we also need to learn that we will stand and fight against any oppression of the opposite sex. And it applies to both male and female gender.”
I agree with this 100%. But none of the feminists and women’s groups want this to happen because their bread and butter is dependent on women’s oppression and female victimhood is the product that they are selling to make money.
”This article is neither biased nor against males. It is just showing the pathetic condition of women in the rural areas, which is true and you know that. Similarly women in urban areas have their own problems as I stated earlier. Again women who are cheating are the exceptions.

As far as the sufferings of men are concerned, that is another issue which can be mentioned in another post and discussed there.”
I am not against this article per se. I am against the over-emphasis of the problems of women vis-a-vis the problems of men. Rural women suffer. I agree with you. Rural men also suffer. But nobody wants to show that aspect. Further, rural women’s pathetic condition [I agree with the essence of this article] is misused by urban women to push for more and more anti-male laws and agenda. We should STOP this marketing of female victimhood and promote humanism. With more and more articles and news about female victimhood, the society is outraged and guys like me are seeing the outcome in the form of discrimination of men, misandry and androphobia.
”See the basic idea behind feminism is to let women have the rights that they are deprived off from centuries by some chauvinistic males.”
I guess the time has come to start masculism as an answer to feminism to let men have the same rights as women and to save the men from the clutches of feminazis who are the new-age Talibans.
AS long as you don’t preach hatred of men, claim moral superiority of women, sympathise with women more than men, and as long as you understand and recognise the problems of men as being as important as that of women, I have no problems at all.
None of this is happening with you. I have no problems with women’s rights as long as men’s rights are also recognised. This is not happening now. WE are living amidst misandry, androphobia, feminism etc. This is not fair for men.
”Rohan, A good idea on masculinism...But i guess it should wait another 2000 years to get started because right now we are in a balancing mode. we women want to give men back what they gave us for 2000 years (d estimate is actually less). After that, think about masculinism.”
I am glad that you have admitted the TRUE and REAL intention of feminism that I was trying to emphasise. Great! But where did you get this 2000 year figure from? Feminazi books? And what was before those 2000 years? Nobody wants to tell that. Well, this line of argument clearly shows that feminism is a movement to wage a war against men. Its not about equality. Now I can understand what went before those so-called 2000 years and there is no proof about 2000 years. [History about women is purely what feminists want society to believe].
”Am glad that you think us as new age taliban...we thought of you and other men the same way till few years back...so as i said we are on balancing mode. It will be only just if men could get a taste of their own poison!!!”
Let the women get the taste first. Ladies first. Ask for 33% reservation in tasting poison. Well, the poison is feminism, the new Talibanism.
”since when ’men’ have been talking about fairness. and women had all the liberties and freedom since time immemorial, then i guess there would have been no feminism...no equality clashes...so i guess ”as you sow so shall you reap” and you cannot escape this fact rohan.. and ya women are much morally superior to men...accept it or reject..we do not give a damn... chitra”
This shows your hatred for men than anything else. I never said that men are all good. But I condemn the way women are claiming moral superiority over men. If indeed it is true, stop asking for equality. Nobody knows what happened 10 centuries ago or even before that. Nobody wants to explore why restrictions were imposed on women. Check that first. The way you are blasting, it shows what moral superiority you have over me. It shows that you are no way moral superior to men and you are having the same weaknesses as men have. You are not for equality but a sort of hatred and revenge. I just want women to stop taking advantages of tradition and modernity. P
”since when ’men’ have been talking about fairness. and women had all the liberties and freedom since time immemorial, then i guess there would have been no feminism...no equality clashes...so i guess ”as you sow so shall you reap” and you cannot escape this fact rohan..”
Since when have women been talking about fairness? They wanted men to do all the difficult jobs and protect and provide them. While they were in the safe confines of their homes. Now, since technology has made life easier, they want equality. This is called fairness.
”as you sow so shall you reap”
This applies to women aswell. Two wrongs cannot make a right. But you are trying to do that. It shows your moral superiority when you say that harm should be inflicted on men just because of harm was inflicted on women for some time. [We do not know how long it was. Feminism claims it to be 2000 years without evidence.] So much for moral superiority of women.
”Rohan, Why do you have any problem with reservation?”
In an equal society, there cannot be undue preference to any person or section of society. Reservations are anti-equality. It is based on the wrong notion that two wrongs make a right.
”And secondly, it is you who do not know the true and real meaning of feminism...how about going through a few books and come back to comment on feminism. know the origins of feminism and you would know what role MEN played in it...your comments sound as if you are anti-female”
I know what feminism is in reality. I don’t need to know theories from books. They mean nothing when in reality we see women like you who are waging a war against men. I am not a woman hater. I am a feminist hater. That is for sure. Feminists include men and women. I hate them both. I love women but I am pained the way they are being brainwashed by feminists. Ultimately, feminism is a war against men as you yourself have made comments to that effect and it is a movement that is anti-male, anti-family, anti-marriage and even anti-women. Anti-women because it forces a woman to work and in the end, when men realise the discrimination, they would force the women back into their cocoons. History repeats itself. The unknown number of years that women were discriminated were preceded by a similar situation of male discrimination and immoral behaviour.
"I am not a woman hater. I am a feminist hater. That is for sure. Feminists include men and women. I hate them both. I love women but I am pained the way they are being brainwashed by feminists."
This post is bout women and not feminists. Why do you have to drag every conversation on the same topic? Earlier women used to feel bad for men’s behavior, now its opposite. Fair enough. Accept it. Nothing will change by posting 200 more comments here. Please do something constructive in your life.
Sanwali explained things to you in very straight and neutral manner. Still you are beating around the bush. The problem with you is that you have a closed mind in this matter and arguing with a closed minded person is stupidity. So I request Chitra to move out of this conversation coz some men never change.
you have no right to degrade india in this manner without knowing the facts. Do you know you stand liable to be sued for defamation for this wrong information ?
The women of India need to help other women. It is wrong to lay blame on Men.
I see Indian world with five dimensions
a) Caste b) Class c)Religion d)Language e) Gender.
India is a mix of these dimensions. Blaming men for all ills is a western way of identifying problems and solving.
Guess what, all these years in Catholic religion, women never had any powers? So will you blame Men?
”It is a fact that Men deep down just cannot accept the women as equals...irrespective of what may be said...”
Nor can women accept men as their equals. They want the benefits of tradition in this modern world and want men to protect them, sympathise and empathise with them, want the laws to be in their favour, want men to provide for them, want moral superiority over men and yet claim equality.
”Rohan, ”stop asking for equality” my...my... really good...it shows just how a great chauvinist you are who is afraid that his rights will vanish if women are equal to men..Nothing new rohan...I have seen many like you who are now burning in the hell they have created... By the way, since your views are so anti-female, how do you treat the women in your life? What if any women you know faced harassment and she demanded justice?”
Oh my goodness! Another radical feminazi out here! I have seen plenty of you Chitra. You want female domination and call that equality? You want women to take the advantages of tradition and modernity and is that equality for you? Start paying up for equality. You can burn in hell if you wish but start paying up!
How do I treat women? I don’t allow them to take advantages of tradition and modernity. My women are not anti-male as you are!
”Rohan, Earlier we did not as women were trained to be passive, but we have been talking about fairness since the day we realised we had been trampled upon. And please, nobody asked men to provide for us. Read theories on ”evolution” you will get to know men have the instinct to protect people around them especially their families. ” This applies to women aswell.”
Women were trained to be passive and in return they got moral superiority. Today, women cannot claim that right as women are liberated and aggressive. You claim to be fair but you are doing the same wrong which men committed. You cannot claim to be fair anymore. Women of earlier centuries were indeed fair Not women now. I have read enough stories of evolution and I know that the earliest man was the hunter and the woman was the gatherer. Since the dangers were too great from nature, and men were the stronger sex, they were protecting the women. Now, you feminists want men to continue to do that but same time want equality. You want moral superiority and still claim equality? What nonsense. Yes, women want men to protect and provide for them. That’s why they claim alimony and maintenance inspite of working and getting good salaries.
”Not even women are interested to dig out ghosts of the pasts..but you know some men do have less understanding..thats when we dig out the past to show them the mirror on the miseries they inflected upon us...One cannot escape one’s past. At the same time, I am not saying that all men should suffer because of some thing done thousands of years ago...ok?”
If women don’t want to dig past, then don’t.You dig past when it suits you. I didn’t know that today;s men were responsible for the miseries of yesteryears women. I didn’t know that men of today have been living for centuries. I didn’t know that you have been around for centuries too see all that.
”So lets get down to contemporary times. Do you know the crime rate against women? Or the sexual abuses? Or the rape cases done on the name of morality? In the name of proving their masculinity, they are degrading themselves more.”
Yes, but do you know the crime rate against men? Do you know that when a woman complains, even if it is false, there are several laws to deal with the man. These laws are cognisable, non-bailable, non-compoundable and treat the man ”Guilty until proven innocent”. When the man complains against a woman,the society laughs at him even though we boast to be an equal society. The police can at best file a non-cognisable complaint. Noncognisable means -No cognisance, and such cases don’t get added to the NCRB statistics. So, we now know why huge number of crimes on women are shown as statistics while there are no statistics about crimes on men. Men don’t need to prove their masculinity. It is feminists who are bloating statistics and imprisoning men at will and harming their own cause.
”What is lacking is an awareness about both genders. And education helps a lot. But sometimes education does not help seeing your comments. Every movement has a darker side, so has feminism. No doubt that some women use it negatively (as you said), but if you would have understood feminism, I bet your perceptions would have been different.”
I am not a fool to educate myself with feminist textbooks and read feminist magazines like femina and women’s era. I am glad that you accept that feminism has the darker side. But feminism in its very concept is absurd as it does not recognise the differences between men and women. Men and women are biologically different and hence their roles also have to be different. THis, feminism does not recognise. Equality is concept born out of such intellectual bankruptisy.
”Chitra, I suggest you stop debating it out with Rohan. He is not ready to respect the views of other people who do not agree with him. He turns personal and abusive. I don’t know what he has against feminists and how they have harmed him, but he has taken it upon himself to sabotage the development of women in India which he terms as ’feminist’”
I respect others views as long as they don’t abuse me and as long as they don’t argue for the sake of it. I have seen enough of your arguments which are merely aimed at arguments and for their own sake. I have everything against feminists because they are harming the men and their fundamental rights. Feminism is not just an anti-male movement but an anti-women movement too as more than 1.3 Lakh women were arrested without investigation in the last 5 years. So much for feminism and feminazism.
”Rohan, Exactly, there should not be any reservation. But if men are not mentally ready to accept women as equal, I am afraid but we have learned to ask for our rights!!!
Are women ready to accept men as equal? They are not! They want the advantages of tradition and modernity. Hence, this reservation and equality is a clever trick by feminists to fool men. Equality never existed between men and women as women were considered morally superior to men and empathy and sympathy were always for women. Women were the first to be taken off a sinking ship and they got away with lesser punishments for the same crimes while men bore the brunt of such pamperment of women. So, men should ask for equality and rights. Men should learn to ask for equality and rights.
Well, You mean to say women should not work????? this just PROVES your mentality rohan. you are one of those women who think women are for kitchen and sex only; men who treat women as doormat. Your comment showed you fall into this category. Very sorry to say that.
In the west, the feminists forced women out to work, to neglect their families and break free from their traditional roles At the same time, men were never allowed to break free from tradition and men are still expected to protect and provide for women. I believe that women and men being different have their own unique roles to play. Feminists like you cannot digest anything other that your theories. I believe that women are nurturers and that is their primary role. That does’t make them sex-machines or baby producing machines. Men are the provider and protectors of society as historically, they have always done that against external threat. This doesn;t make men ATM machines and disposable creatures as women want them to be. It doesn;t mean that women are doormats; nor does it make men disposable dogs for women. It is a mutual arrangement for the benefit of society and it has been going on since ages.
”And ” anti-family”...IS REARING FAMILIES THE ONLY DESTINY OF WOMEN??? not surprising this is coming from you. And who has given men the right to ”force the women back into their cocoons.” you think what men do are for good and their words should be followed by women without any questions.If you think this, you are gravely wrong in your understanding of women. Not even 0.001% has gone into you head.
Is protecting and providing for women the only destiny of men? Start paying up for equality then. Fine, do what you like but start paying up! Stop asking for moral superiority, stop demanding empathy as men also crave for it and start paying the price of equality. Start paying men maintenance and alimony. Stand at the border and defend the nation. Die like a dog and let your hubbies claim your insurance and other benefits. I am fine with it then.
”This post is bout women and not feminists. Why do you have to drag every conversation on the same topic?”
Its about how women are portrayed and how men are blamed for it. Hence it is about feminism. If men are fairly portrayed, I have no problem.
”Earlier women used to feel bad for men’s behavior, now its opposite. Fair enough. Accept it. Nothing will change by posting 200 more comments here.”
I am glad that you accept that men are feeling bad. But its not fair enough and why should I accept it? Can you accept women being protrayed badly?
”Please do something constructive in your life.”
That’s none of your business!
”Sanwali explained things to you in very straight and neutral manner. Still you are beating around the bush. The problem with you is that you have a closed mind in this matter and arguing with a closed minded person is stupidity. So I request Chitra to move out of this conversation coz some men never change.”
I agreed with Sanwali. But Chitra started it off by saying that men should suffer. So, I am not in conversation with Sanwali. I am here with Chitra. Read the posts and you will know better. It is women like you who have a closed mind. Not me. I have already agreed with Sanwali. Chitra has no business to attack men.
”Hi Chitra, that is the reason exactly I unsubscribed from a thread. He is trying to hijack this thread too.”
I have clearly mentioned what I intended to. With Sanwali, things were clear. I also explained to Wayne and it was fine. But why the hell did Chitra start off from nowhere when things were fine?
all is well. thanks.
Glad you accept my point and also the same two eyes can identify the other dimensions in each of these women photos.
It is a multi-dimensional upliftment that will serve these women rather than single.
Let you be blessed with God, Class, Caste, Region, and Gendered thoughts
”Guess what, all these years in Catholic religion, women never had any powers? So will you blame Men?”
Nobody goes into the background and question why it happened at all. Nobody questions why and what led to discrimination of women for several years. We cannot have history without any reason and with one-sided propaganda. We know only a small part of the truth.
”Don’t take offence Rohan, but have you ever considered seeing clinical psychiatrist to solve this ever burning desire in you to criticise women without any strong foundation? Why are you deviating from the essence of wayne’s article. It is about the plight of women and not a thesis on feminism.”
It is women like you who need to consult psychiatrists as you said,”Men should get back what they inflicted for 2000 years” which is a sadistic statement, irrational and illogical besides violent. AS though today’s men liked for 2000 years and have been inflicting pain on today’s women who also lived for 2000 years. This analysis is a new form of disease. I don’t critizise women. When I say ”Women”, I mean feminist women like you. That’s what I meant. Not all women are feminists. Many of my own friends are not. I apologise for calling all women feminists with that gap in communication. I only meant feminist-women. Not all women. The foundation of how feminists manipulate the system is already there. They want the advantages of tradition and modernity for women. Rights without responsibilities.
Lastly, I was clear about Wayne’s article and I have mentioned it to him and Sanwali too. But I am offended by your comment that today’s men should pay for 2000 years. [Not that I believe such numbers anyway. You cannot expect me to take it lying down.
”Rohan, Well fine, consider me an anti-male. I do not give a damn to what you think.. ”
Nor do I care for your stupid allegations.
”Nothing more can be accepted out of you. I am very sure the women you know must be suffocated with your presence and staunch views. Its not me who have to pay up...it’s you who have to. burn in your helll, if not now, but later for sure.”
Women around me don’t ask me both ways. They know that I don’t pamper them like other men. Women like you should burn in hell for spoiling other women. Utimately, women themselves will suffer.
”You know what your problem is. YOU ARE AFRAID seeing the new surge of women demanding their rights of equality. You are afraid that your place as a MAN will be snatched away by a woman. Thats what your problem is.”
Women want not equality but rights without resonsibilities as you yourself have said, ”Next 2000 years, the men have to suffer”. I am not an idiot to keep quiet about it. Slowly the other men are realising it too.
”And believe me, women are not interested in snatching away anyone’s rights which you are going to disagree again...You are simply very predictable.”
Your statments don’t mean anything as what we are witnessing is something very different. Don’t be a hypocrat as your own statements earlier have said that men should suffer discrimination.
”WHY NOT ENLIGHTEN US ON YOUR NOBLE THOUGHTS ON FEMALE EQUALITY?”
I have already said this. But I repeat. Men and women are biologically different and have different roles to play. There is no comparison between two differently abled creatures. They are both equal but different. Feminism is unnatural and intellectually bankrupt as it does not even recognise these differences. Utopian views don’t help as they are not practical. Rest, I have explained it earlier. No need to repeat.
”ROHAN will reply to this comment when i am little bit free. you can expect a long sermon”
I am not interested in these discussions as they get me nowhere. Society learns its lessons the hard way. You can go ahead with your views. I have the right to my views. I have made everybody know that there are different shades of opinion and not everybody agrees with feminazism. That’s enough for me.
nowadays every tom, dick and harry file cases and corruption ensures the harrasment of men, his men/women members of family. such blatant misuse is undermining noble causes.
we men will not allow dirty feminazism at any cost. if you call that ”pushing power”, you can do so. we are not eunuchs as western men are.
the time for writing a book on status of man has come. Oppressing men and suppressing their problems is going to back fire some day for feminists.
and whatever is on the other side has been suppressed by feminists and women.
The plight of some rural women has been converted into a man-bashing one and spreading hatred of men. This is where the problem lies. Feminists need to be consulting Psychiatrists. Its an incurable illness for feminists though.
For feminists like you, the so-called time wrap is applicable only when it suits them. When it comes to inconvenient issues such as making domestic violence against men by women a crime or paying alimony to men, maintenance to men or fighting in combat, women want tradition to prevail. They want to be in a time wrap. They still blame the men and accuse them of being in a time wrap. You call me immatured just because I am frank and open about the feminist fraud. Tolerance is okay upto a point. Not when fraud is taking place.
thats what you see from a far off country....the real truth is always double sided. Because you are not shown the other side, you do not come to know. Know the other side too. www.mynation.net, www.savefamily.org, www.498a.org, www.saveindianfamily.org
The pointing out of fraud and double standards of feminism does not amount to any hatred of women. It just means that I am not afraid of speaking the truth! Get that right! Just because you want to desperately please women, you keep twisting the facts to divert the attention because there is no other way you can defend the fraud.
Are men any less than women for their problems not to be addressed?
Just because people do not have the guts to write truth, they keep writing politically correct things just to stay in the crowd.
The media is filled with sob stories of women, what’s the big deal in writing about that?
Some facts about men :-

http://wemen.us/articles/views/26-indian-men-an-epitome-of-sacrifices.html
Merely shouting does not make a truth, there need to be statistics as well.
You can live in your own fool’s paradise. Each passing year and each passing generation, the men are realising that they are getting fooled by feminism. Men’s rights in India and in many other nations has taken birth which was hitherto not existing. In India, from nowhere, men’s groups have spread awareness of their existence. These are small beginnings. The wheel of time moves on. More and more men would feel let down. Its happening; Its REAL. Feminazis have to grow up and get over the evolution syndrome wherein they believe that as time moves on, things improve. The answer is Yes and No. In many ways, human beings have transcended animals big time. We are heading towards a more and more complicated life and the earth is in much more danger than ever before. Families are collapsing and gender war has started.
If you women and feminists don’t stop this bullshit of creating an atmosphere of misandry, androphobia and portraying men as bad and women as victims, we men will definately organise and fight back!!! So be careful. Think of what is in store for you once a large section of men get affected by feminazism.
”Rohan, Why do you have any problem with reservation?”——————————-
Why do I have a problem? The same reason why you have a problem with dowry, Taliban, sati, discrimination of women etc. Have you gone nuts? You don’t have a concept of equality and are claiming to be an equalist.
”And secondly, it is you who do not know the true and real meaning of feminism...how about going through a few books and come back to comment on feminism.”——————————-
Bookisk knowledge eh? BTW, I have read enough to know that feminism is all about hatred of men, misandry, androphobia and to treat men like dogs!!! If feminism was not that, then we wouldn’t have anti-male laws and institutions.
Indian govt. must stop pampering the urban women and try to help the rural women.
Your narrow mind cannot understand anything more than what you said. Men have absolutely no problem doing that. In ancient times, because there were no machines, men were exhausted after work. Today, the exhaustion is of a different nature, though. The problem is that you feminazis don’t want to pay the price of equality. START PAYING THE PRICE OF EQUALITY. IF YOU EXPECT GUYS TO DO ALL THAT, START PAYING MAINTENANCE AND ALIMONY TO THEM....DON’T EXPECT GUYS TO GIVE YOU MONEY. MARRY UNEMPLOYED MEN. DO ALL THAT WHICH GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

Thanks for your peply
It is funny there is just two in our species (male and female) and we can’t seem to do a very good job in respecting each others differences
It makes me feel bad to see the overpowering controll over woman by man and them blind to it
It is hard to believe they could forget their nurturing days and then become so disrespectful to the same people that gave them life
Well said- but sad to think change has to be so difficult and slow
I don’t know how a man -if they love their partner COULD put a bigger part of the burden of everyday life on the woman and not love their genes male or female equality
We sure went adrift over the centuries
I realize it is the mentality of men in general and will be difficult for woman no mater where men want to raise their ugly heads
Thanks and hope things get better soon
Don’t be too pessimistic -India has a lot of good qualities as well and other countries could learn from India
Thanks- and my only point of writing this is to show some of the stubborn men that all is not good with woman issues in India
Men are used to pushing their power on the weak and have a hard time giving up a little of their control
Some stubborn men have read it and marked it down in their quest to pretend it doesn’t happen
I am afraid that in India equality for woman by man is still a long way off
Being a male i find love and respect for woman comes naturally and how could i look into the face of my daughter, mother, or wife and find them lesser than me–i would suffer a thousand deaths before i would hurt or disrespect another human being
When people bump heads over things that they can’t change the only thing that happens is they both get headaches
Lets try this Rohan –if you need help my hand is out to you ,or any man
If a woman had a hand out for help my hand would be out to her as well
If a child male or female had a hand out for help i would reach out to help them as well and isn’t that what you would want from men and woman
In the end i love all humans men and woman as we all should and now that i sent you some love can you send me some
Rohan i know you and Arvind are good souls who think that by bombarding your concerns will change minds but what it does is alienate you and take away from your very bright minds ,love Rohan—Wayne
I put my right hand out and you cut it off
Now i put my left hand out and hope you won’t cut it off –LOVE –WAYNE
I put my left hand out and you cut it off as well- but i still have my voice so i am saying to you –have a nice day and hope your journey goes without bumps
Now all i ask of you is to tell me to –have a nice day
Your fellow male and human Wayne!
Thanks for your kind thoughts
I think every human has a sence of good will towards others ,even if they disagree and i think Rohan unless mentally ill is a hard nut with a good soul
We can only work on one issue at a time as each has their own and different set of circumstances
A life of misery is only felt by the individual living it
No disrespect and if i did please forgive me
Virag i will try not to do that!
Have a good day and peace be with you
Hope all is well
Madhup I am not blaming anyone or do i have a solution for the problems of woman in India
All i am doing is walking through life and when i see something i say (oh )there is a bad situation or there is something interesting in life
I take no stand or judge anything, i am just walking through a Forrest of life looking and commenting with no expertise on how it grew or how to make it grow better
There are billions of eyes that see things and i have only two
@Rohan
You are treated the way you treat others..so basically men who get bad treatment from women are doing the same to other women. These men who moan about men’s rights are either too demanding or their expectations are unrealistic. They should first change their attitude towards women and see the difference…. I don’t hate me…all the men I know are angels…doesn’t mean all male species are so... I treat them love and respect and I get back the same from them.
What you preach here and the examples you provide constitutes only a minority of men. Those men who know to treat women will have a different version about women. There are many men in this site who talk about women with respect…and they don’t have any complaints about women abusing men..
Bottom line is men who are abused by women are letting them do it! No men or no women can exploit the opposite sex unless they let them do it.
Making a new law for men abuse is not gonna change anything.. we do have law for women abuse..still its happening everyday.
is this article an copy and paste ?
http://www.thp.org/where_we_work/south_asia/india/research_reports/chronic_hunger_and_status_of_women
A grade one student could do better than this
Come on roll out more hate
There is noting better than give a human a feeling of purpose
He has no causes but the inherent thought of vengeance and proves my point here that hate is our superior emotion
What happened to all the protecting and providing that you claim men do? If they can protect and provide for women then they can protect and provide for themselves and don’t need any special treatment.

Your statement of truth is not a complete truth. It is a half-truth restricted to rural areas. Urban women and feminists put up gory pictures of these women and make money out of them. While these women continue with their misery, the urban women and feminazis mint money. Same time, the rural men are also in pathetic condition which is not exposed by feminist supporters like you. Can you focus on the pathetic condition of rural men too?
