Even I know men, who are not part of the #NotAllMen category. But you are less. And you are not helping. You are busy defending yourselves. You cannot run away from the burden of the majority from your gender. Just like we have not been able to run away from the so called “because you are a woman". A couple of us are starting a word-photo series #ButAllWomen. You can ignore us, agree with us, bash us, but from now on, you cannot shut us. _____________________________________________________ I am often asked to 'chill'. I am turning into an 'extreme case of feminism' they say. I am a downright gender biased and not neutral, they add. “Not everything is about you women”, they emphasise. I am called a 'feminist' with so much derogation. The trending hashtag #NotAllMen is also something I have been told, again, and again, and again, and again. Today, I have decided to chill. I mean why not. Let's do it literally. I would rather sit in a refrigerator or perhaps a balcony in a city in north India and freeze myself to a forever numb than survive the everyday humiliation of being born a woman. I see these glorious advertisements that want me to take pride for the f**k up my chromosomes did, and I am disgusted. Just like I am disgusted when I see these women in a sanitary napkin advertisement wearing white bottoms and jumping on trees for no reasons. It f****** pains like a heart attack and more for some cases. Google it goddammit! But today, Mitron, I am going to add many more 'f****' and 'chills' here and there and I am going to just lay back and let you XY F******, f*** around like no tomorrow. Let me tell you a secret here- I can't do anything even if I want to. So I will just pretend that I have the CHOICE/AGENCY to let my head down and snore at your predatoriness. Few years ago, you called her Nirbhaya. You took away the shame by CHOICE/AGENCY that you f****** needed to be deep fried in. You had let that Sixteen year old, bloody conscious enough to let his phallus play Zeus-Zeus around, by the so-called juvenile law and some f****** psychological therapy. You did not want the documentary that ripped naked the reality of your heinous societal structure to be out there because you, you Mr. XY, thought it was disturbing. “It is a disturbing visual for our people. Let us move forward, haan?” “Our nation has been represented in wrong light. A foreigner will not understand the cultural intricacy of our nation.” “Take it off the net”, just the way you like to take it off every time you spot a XX walking down the aisle of your spermatic dreams. The other day a comrade in harassment and molestation was telling me how an everyday bus travel is a guarantee of being groped or manhandled for that. Sitting ten steps away, her legs stretched in a room of a house too safe to be touched unwillingly, she cringed with horror of being a woman. The one sitting next to her had a similar story. The one sitting in front of her had a similar story. The one sitting ten steps across her, and today writing this also, has a similar story. Every XX near you, you know your mother, sister, daughter, girlfriend, wife, friend, all those dignities that you have been protecting and raping so far, have f****** similar cringe-full stories. But hey, I need to chill right. Did you manage to watch the Bangalore molestation video? You know, where there were these two men, a dark street, some spectators, some groping, molesting, dragging, and throwing? You did right? Good fun? No? Oh yes, I forgot #NotAllMen before #ButAllWomen. You f****** XY wanted to defend your gracious, super godly self before those women could be taken seriously over the Akhilesh-Lalu conundrum. While the 'Devis' in them needed to cover up the 'Devtas' in you have been so shamelessly unzipping and shedding every piece of cloth you can. Do you know what really is our media concerned with at the moment? What will be the turn out of the upcoming elections! Wonderful know?! After all we must set our priorities right. Who cares about molestation? It's not like they actually let their penis infiltrate our Delhis. I mean it was not a mass murder like Timur's that we should worry about. IT WAS JUST MASS MOLESTATION. "Kuch bhi to nahi hua ladkiyon ko. Na koi mari, na kisi ka rape hua. Zara sa chedha hi to hai." You Mr. XY talk about how women should not be exposed to the western culture much because it affects her thinking, she wears short clothes and this instigates the men. Well Thank You for all the education you have been providing the second s** all this while. You have raised us to bow down, while holistically assuming yourself as the alpha. I can feel the burden of all the good you have done for us. I wish you would have done the same for your sons. But wait. You did. It's just you taught them everything wrong. You taught them they had the right to touch our body as their property. Their malicious looks reek of the confidence you gave them for having taken birth as a man. You get angry that when we vent out our anger we generalize. I mean how insensitive of us to do that. You can call us a b****h, s***, feminist, w**** or whatever (as if it is so sick to be one) when you begin with a "You women....", but us, no we must pay respect to each one of you at the same time while we are saving ourselves from being groped, molested, harassed or raped. I mean why shouldn't you feel offended for being put in the same bracket as 'them', because you have been worried about us all your life, haven't you? You ask us to carry a pepper spray, be careful, avoid lonely places and what not, but you live life king size because you are a man. Congratulations. By the way, one of you was talking about women and clothes, I want to ask about a six month old, a woman in a saree or Burqa, who has also reported of being groped, raped or molested? Have they been faired? They must have been, right? Afterall, you are always there for us. #ButAllWomen
