Just reading about mr. Ball the other day shook me up. I think we are wrongly trained to believe that we owe a lot to women. They are not really as innocent as made out to be. No disrespect to the gender but if we are so bad, as slutwalks make it out to be, then don't come near us at all. and don't try to make men fall in line by becoming your buddies whom you can also marry and who will support you with their money. As time passes, more men will complain I think. I see your point. Just reading about mr. Ball the other day shook me up. I think we are wrongly trained to believe that we owe a lot to women.

The reason probably can be found in your name RocketQueen; isn't that like a gal with a strap on dildo which could be the reason for your confused stupidity and your desire to sodomize poor pathetic Indian guys like him and probably me too and my dear where did you get the statistics of 90% - not your ass I hope. Lastly do you know what lynching means because one does not look good asking or threating someone to be lynched. The only people who did that as a habit were the KKK to African Americans and the only people who asked for it were 60s 70s (Radical) Feminists who desired to do that to men in general, not surprising given that most of them were upper class white females must have inherited it from their mamas and papas in the KKK.

Times may have changed and we may have evolved to a higher plane (although I doubt it) but we carry these instincts within i.e. competing with our own gender. Hence by the same not a man is always a man's worst enemy. As for the glass ceiling, let us not use outdated 60s 70s American feminist language - it is extremely archaic even to women who may identify as feminist.

And what is scary is that a lot of educated well-to-do girls also fall into this category. If one woman is trying to break through the glass ceiling, there will be five others waiting to pull her down. it is true that an astonishingly large number of women subscribe to the traditions of domestication.

A woman can be another woman's worst enemy. And I am not even talking about Indian television serials :) Much regressive thinking is also the result of women accepting the traditional role without questioning it. Hi Psych Babbler,

Then again, I guess I shouldn't be as a woman can be another woman's worst enemy. But it is a shame that such regressive thinking exists in a day and age when women are trying their best to break through the glass ceiling. Cheers!

See, I told the girls that they are working to find a wealthy man because of what they told me. I have no problem with girls wearing mini skirts and and all. Prevents an eye sore you see :) But then there are girls who feel that walking late at night and wearing less clothes makes them **u**. Now what can I say to such women? They are themselves vilifying women-folk and don't need any man to do that. I can only say to such women that they want to be home birds and that is why they blame women for the cause of rape. What can any man do in such a case? These women also feel that the mother is responsible for giving freedom to her daughter. That is why those lines. I was... ok I admit... a little hurt. It's like I was being asked to become a chauvinist by the women. What added fuel to my fire was that many people feel like these women. Of course, the comment above yours says that many women also think that way... it has set my small mind thinking. How true is this? Thank you for asking me your question. I love doing this stuff. :) Hi Psych Babbler,

It's a bit hard to figure out. On the one hand you talk about women only working in order to find a wealthy man --- which to me says you are a chauvinist. You also talk about the last name of the girl raped and the fact that her mother wasn't keeping an eye on her in a way that suggests you are no different from the zillion men in India who think women 'ask for' rape. And yet, you talk about how you not thinking of rape in a mocking fashion which gets me confused. I guess, in short --- are you or are you not a chauvinist? And do you, or do you not believe that it is women who are responsible for rape? I haven't read any of your prior posts, so I'm trying to base my opinion about you based on just this one. Hope to get an answer. Cheers! I must say I am confused about your stance — are you blaming women for rape or are yo just being sarcastic? It’s a bit hard to figure out.

There are women who subscribe to following the tradition of 'domestication'. And they are plenty in number. You must talk to more women about this case and then write another story.
