I am not sexist !

I am a bit confused, a bit annoyed. Probably you all can help me get the answers I search for. Here’s a short story.

An adventurous man quite fun-loving once decided to visit a nearby wildlife sanctuary at night, at the gate he was warned of wild beasts inside but he ignored and went in, had a bit fun, roamed around enjoyed the sparkling moonlight waterfalls, on his way back he was attacked by a big wild devilish beast and before the officials could take situation in control, he was severely injured, down to his knees fighting his survival and he did manage to survive. Even years after this incidence, that man curses every other creature apart the homo sapiens especially the whole bunch of wild animal kingdom for his sufferings. On being asked why so, he in a frustapa mode curses every animal especially the wild ones for his miseries. He has all rights to enter the sanctuary at night and enjoy and the beast that attacked him had no right morally or ethically to sabotage him thus every beast of his kind must be punished.

Now my mind stops working, it’s full of arguing thoughts. Where is the fault in the system, was it the gatekeeper’s fault that he couldn’t stop him from entering the sanctuary at night or it was the man’s fault himself to ignore the warning. Definitely the beast deserves no mercy, it had sinned going out its limits and attacking an innocent man, but could it have been avoided, the man paid no attention to the issued warning and was victimized. And should the victim treat every other beast as a criminal or harbinger of his sorry fate?????

Now, why does an undergrad at kgp worrying so much of this story? Well, some of you might have guessed the context too ( http://shikhasinghiitkgp.blogspot.in/2012/07/to-men.html) .
 Just replace the man with a sweet girl and the wildlife sanctuary by a night bar and the beast with a heavily drunk bully of the same kind. The girl enters the bar, is issued a warning too that it’s not safe inside, still she enters not wanting to cancel her fun plans and is victimized by a misbehavior by the drunk bully. Seems a similar story, just the characters have changed. Now the girl curses the whole male community for her sorry fate that does include me too.

Wait a minute, in what universe did the billions of XY-chromosomed people declare that bully as our representative, hum maante hain ki aisa karne wala kutta hai, he behaved as a bloody motherfucker and has sinned heavily and must be punished but dear madam, where does the question of sexism rise. What the hell other billions of males have done to you, we support your cause and sympathize and if needed stand for you against that bully. But, you can’t blame me or anyone of my kind for your miseries. Yeah, I do agree, eve-teasing or other forms are shameful but common and that’s why the society on its own tries to have a control system and as a result of that, you did receive a warning too which you ignored for whatsoever reason. The beast was in the bar waiting to haunt you and succeeded thanks to your ignorance.

The first rule in driving is ‘drive slow’ although you are an expert in driving, the reason being others might not be good drivers and hit you hard really hard, it’s not your fault but you will be hurt for sure. Same principle applies here too. Follow the rules of the system. Now, some of my female friends argue that the system is sexist in itself where all the rules are favored to the male side, but it ever occur to you that the number of wild male beasts is way above the number of wild female beasts (yes, some are there), so the rules have been designed to protect our sisters and mothers.

Some black curses in the society can’t be removed at one go, that’s why we create a control system to act as a buffer while we work on eliminating those wild beasts. So, let’s work together to control it rather than fight among ourselves. And yes, this post isn’t sexist.
