Hey you men..out there! Don't cry, do not weep, do not feel left out just because it's woman's day! I know you poor species have no special day. But can't you see that it's because you are already there! You are not down-trodden. You are already arrived!!!:). Pity those poor women. They were in the backyard and always pushed to the background.They were unnoticed. They were insecure. They felt left-out. So they had to market themselves. They had to position themselves. They had to yell to the world..Hey PLEASE NOW..WE are also there.Come one come all... take notice. They decided to take advantage of this thing called International Woman's day. I seriously do not know what the main purpose of this day was when it was conceived, but from the media and events, this is what I understand now:
1) Woman's Day is to showcase how more beautiful the celebrity women are. Celebrity women means wives of Industrialists who have to spend their time and who do it to spend the money their husbands earn.
2) It means that women think they are secondary and behind men so they have to organise something special and invite actresses and models to host shows.These people tell them that women are beautiful, they are strong. So after all this, the women start believing that they are strong.
3) It means marketing something as natural a process as motherhood and as biological as breast feeding and making a big thing out of it, as if it is a feat .
4) It means money honey.. Money for the organisers, media, card - makers, speakers and caterers!
5) It means again that women are originally weak and they have to shout, holler and scream to say' I am there. I am strong. Since I was ignored I had this special day.' well, women are special, in short.
6) It means that the most over-used phrase of the last century has been 'Woman of Substance'. Poor Barbara Tailor Bradford didn't know her book title would have become so mundane:(.
7) It means sending text messages and clogging your phone with stupid strong woman messages.
8) It means having legitimate women parties !!( Come on you men naturally do stag parties..don't have to scheme for this at least).
9) It means showcasing 20 per cent of the rich women and hiding facts about 80 per cent of the real woman at least in India.
10) It means Attention, darling! Women love attention and this is legalised, organised scheming to achieve mass attention!
So men..feel good. You are just the envied lot. The benchmarks! Women are trying to be like you. Do not cry. Swell in pride instead!
