All men are not rapists !

This is a voice of an egalitarian who feels that there is a perspective beyond a degraded mind. I go on the street, and while walking i happen to see a woman who seems very strong and attractive. I appreciate her sense of dressing and the way she carried herself, in my mind. At the same time, the same woman happens to see me too. And with a sulking remark, walks off angrily. What had i done ? Had i looked at her with lustful desperate eyes. Not at all. Am i a rapist. No ! I agree that harassment against women has reached to such an extent that women find it derogatory whenever any man even glances at them. Then often assume us to be the ones staring and passing lewd remarks at them, just at the sign of a look. If tomorrow, i go to a woman and tell her on the face that i am sexually attracted towards her, i'll either get slapped, get ignored or made fun of, as if i were a roadside rowdy eve teasing her. But if the same woman comes and tells me the same thing, she is considered bolder and the other boys pass on a mysterious smile at me.Why such difference for a society which claims to give equal status to both men and women. Oh wait, does it even claim ?
All men are not rapists, and we do not take the guilt of being men. We are proud of who we are, and we do not share the sin of those who have raped women, who pass lewd remarks on their faces, or touch their sexual parts while travelling in a bus. We are the ones, who stand by what is right and may it be against men or women. The reason why women are being deprived of their rights are the sick mentality evolved by our so called culture. Its not only men, but women too who are equally responsible for a girl's exploitation. Where every mother tells her daughter to cover up their body properly for they represent their so called 'ghar ki izzat'. Where if a piece of cloth protrudes out from a woman's body is termed a fashion disaster, but for a man its said to be cool. Where the purity of a person is judged not by the ideas her/his mind carries but by his/her virginity.Where girls are taught from their childhood, to be like the obedient sita of ramayana, to heed the duties of a wife to follow their husbands without question. To learn that they do not hold any say in deciding whom they want to marry, but is decided by the strength a man posses to break a bow.

Why is it that every perception has a weight attached, taking sides of either gender, why cant there be equality in our perception. Is equality present only in spirit or will it have any truth attached to it anytime in the future. I am just a man who dreams to live in a world where anyone can go anywhere anytime without worrying about anyone else. Freedom at its peak ! Would it be just a dream ?

The impeached Mind

The most valuable output of nature's chemical backlash is our reasoning mind. Unfortunately, the world is headed to the brink of an undesirable reality, wherein the mind doesn't reason anymore. Those in power work for their own irrational needs while the needy begs for a helping hand his whole life, only to one day die on a busy roadside, unnoticed for days.

The men in power have a very powerful weapon against us. Our own fear, which they feed on. Fear of force,Fear of outcomes, Fear of change, Fear of trust, Fear of reason. From decades, leaders across the globe have proclaimed faith over reason.Faith in the rules they set for us but not for them.They mend and bend their own rules of conduct in the name of public welfare. They rely on their collective mutual consent to rise among the rest of the looters, by whatever means they find handy.

The flaw lies in our moral code of values,We are instilled right from the beginning to obey rules and not to question them and our only aim is to achieve success.They never left us an option of defining what success is for us and what motives are we to consider for ourselves to take the path of glory.Its like the whole herd following the lousy shepherd who carries a stick with him,but no mind to control it.We are taught to think collectively but not objectively,and forced to think on the lines on what they think is good enough for us.We are made to believe that mind is a rare monument of extinction and the left over higher minds that presently exist are termed as the enemy of the state. To savage our consciousnesses is their motive and the power to rule our minds their only lust.

We accept the obsolete notions of nefarious thinking they have imposed on us.Our only mistake is not to question them since we think we have our life sorted out,and what happens outside our cocoon is none of our concern.The needy and that one without power of influence suffers at the hands of the the rich, who justifies and portrays him as the culprit and the one against humanity.The most depraved of all men is the one without a justifiable purpose. The purpose of existence, the reason to trade his labor and mind for his own survival, to prosper and rise in his own eyes, not at the behest of feeding on other's productivity,but his own ability.The most debauched men among the group of all the blind men is the one without a vision.

The mighty atlas was once condemned by zeus and was chastened to hold the heavens on his shoulders.He held it for ages.The more he tried to held it up,the more heavier the heavens became. Only time will mark  the threshhold point when the atlas would decide to refuse to hogwash the pain and that day would be marked as the day when men of pride and strength would stop carrying the burden of unabashed sins on their shoulders.
