Centuries have pased since the saga of supresson of women
commenced. They are acrushed, grouned and squeezed but never heard moaning as
in the case of equal property rights. They have made dozens of demands and got
even the lawmakers to listen. They are at their shrilling best. It's all
happening because they now know only the language of the land, and not of love.
Right from the dawn of civilisation, women seek to posess
all the things they see around them. Love for them is nothing more than cuffst
to keep spouses and offsprings by their side. Kitchen, garden, office, factory,
jeans, and short hair…What else do they need?
A man gets married when he wants to possess something. A
woman kicks him out when the right moment comes.
Sisters, I have no prejudice against you. But think, once
you claim your parental property, you will be obliged to do all what your
brothers do for your parents. Don't you know that parents are the most selfish
creatures in the world?
They 'pay' their sons in advance for tehir security. So, you
cannot leave them till death and there will be social respnsibilities for you
during and even after their deaths.
Even today, parents generally shudder at the thought of a
girl child because they cost a hefty dowry. Now, do you think they will ever
accept a girl child who will grab the portion and quit with her man?I'm afraid
that day will come soon when you will visit a national history museum to trace
your own species.
Reluctantly though, you confess that you are always
subjected to auction in a way or another. Very soon, you'll create another
criterion to have yourself priced. You will be apprised about the resale value
of your property and you'll start calling the right customers. Be proud to show
off your rightful possessions and buy a handsome husband. So gals, are you
ready for the show?
Let parrots, you go on yelling that men exist only to
dominate, destroy and demolish the fair sex. Not only you, your cirtues and
beauty but your treasures will also be counted. How beautiful our social
scenario will be! (For me it's OK. I'll divorce my wife and search for a more
wealthy one).
Marriage in our society is getin more and more extravagant
and mompous. Oly a few faters can afford a daughter's wedding ceremony without
being hurt by the shock of almost going bankrupt. Don't you want to share the
true property (i.e., bankrupcy and loans) with your brothers?
So, sisters, don't get furious at this junk. It might be a
social crime to utter a single word more against your flock. There are many
other spheres of practice which are more vital for your existance. It is merely
an open secret that not equality but coveteousness is what matters. Doing
always what otehrs say would lead you to an abyss. It's your life, your choice.
So, do you really want land taken by force in the name of
women's right or love that 'makes the world go round'? I simply feel pity when
you cannot realise that you are runnign after men's signals. Moreever, you will
be boycotted or given small patches of land which will cost you a lot -- love.
