We have, more than often heard that it
is the lecherous men who look upon women as objects. And this
baseless statement is given banners by the women activists. But there
is enough logic to conclude that the way these nincompoop women
activists have approached the women empowerment has actually done a
huge disservice to woman-hood as the same has only reduced the
stature of women to an object – much more than it is commonly
believed and associated with men's perspective.
I shall give here some examples of such
disservice by feminists.
Consider the way women are shown in
advertisements of deodorants. A horde of women start drooling behind
a man wearing a special kind of deodorant. And there is no vocal or
otherwise protest by women activists. They have given it a clean chit
showcasing women as dumb objects who can be attracted by mere
fragrance! And I need not tell which species we know well to have a
highly developed olfactory senses. But why have feminists not opposed
such representation of women? Clear answer is the money power the big
corporate owner of brands of these deodorants carry with them. These
companies give the feminists what they want – money stuffed in
their mouth and they cannot speak.
Same money power is at work when women
are represented in bollywood/tollywood selling zandu balm or Shiela
talking about her jawani!
Now look at the case these women
activists have got the various laws of India tweaked to make women
be an object. Consider law around adultery. It is well known that in
India a woman cannot be tried for adultery since the law explicitly
exonerates woman. The man is punishable. What does it show? That the
man is expected to know what is right or wrong and make a decision
before indulging in adultery. And if he makes the wrong decision, he
shall be punished. But poor women! She is just an object – an
object of the man's wrong decision. How can an object be punished.
She was only being used. Even if she is 30+. Woman is not expected to
have brains and know right from wrong. After all , she is an object!
The recently formulated sexual
harassment laws take it a step further. A woman can complain against
a man even if she “feels” that the man is mis-behaving! And why
would any women “feel” so. Only if she thinks that she is an
object! Whether a man thinks/looks with perversion in his mind is a
different matter. If the woman carries an iota of doubt or notion
that is वेहम
that would be enough for her to lodge a complain. And
when will a woman think that she is being ill treated? Only when the
woman has doubts of her own existence. Only when she thinks herself
as object (it is same as saying she thinks that others take her as an
object). What we think of other's thoughts is actually a
manifestation of our own thoughts. Someone has rightly said “No one
can insult you without your permission.
Not just above examples but all
examples of gender biased laws carry a deep logic of women thought of
as objects, helpless, stupid who need support of men with latent
libidos or nincompoop feminists.
