“It was a beautiful morning because clouds are wrapped around the sun and he is cooing and cozing behind them. A ray of sunshine leads to a house where a beautiful mirror is being used by a man who’s trying to cover his last strand of white hair using black color. A girl behind is curious to see how he will get the hair behind and gives a smile.
It’s not like we have good brushes to cover everything, right? Now what is the solution? Oh, I know! Just slap the container hard on the table and give an angry look. Yes! It works all the time! Women need to be controlled, as old people keep telling us, “Control your wife, and it ultimately controls everything, including emotions!”
The woman is obviously sad, coz that’s what women do! They always take something as small as getting yelled at and think, “Am I not worth it?” See, this is what happens when you start expressing feelings. If you have feelings for your husband, irrespective of how he is, you will love him. If getting shouted at makes you sad, then maybe the love was never pure in the first place. It’s simple, really. Men lose their temper, women lose their happiness, and somehow women still want explanations.
Questioning and getting answers is where the problem is! Why do we need some foreign philosopher or someone say always question? Even in our education system, we are always looked down on when we ask questions. Did anything happen to us? Nope! We are doing great. What does education teach anyway? It’s respecting men that gives you heaven; don’t believe me? Ask any religion.
This all started when women started turning towards office. Imagine you have your precious sister at home. Wouldn’t you want to protect her like a diamond? Now now… Don’t say objectifying! I would be very happy if someone compares me to a diamond. Coz they are more valuable than everything.
Earlier, I heard a complaint from a woman at the workplace that one of the other team associates knows where she gets off every day while logging out. Could you just give it a minute without overthinking into the idea if he knows her address? Just hold your horses! What if some other guy knows her address as he did? He was trying to protect her from others. Now don’t ask who’ll protect her from him; that’s absurd! Obviously, he loves her.
And who asked that woman to keep everything on LinkedIn? Why does she need a LinkedIn open profile in the first place? She can just get along with plain old networking and move on and grow. How did our fathers grow in corporate?
The other day I went to Starbucks, and unlike some gender who assumes that men will pay on a date, I can pay for myself. I ordered myself an Americano, not some matcha nonsense, which is just green grass! Animals eat grass; I just drink Coffee. Now, silence in the brain if you think even coffee is a plantation.
While I was doing my work post-logout, coz in case it’s not clear, men don’t care about work-life balance coz they are providers. Unlike women who sit at the desk all day and finish their work in the shift, we men have so many things to discuss during our coffee and cigarette breaks.
And while I was doing my excel, two women from my opposite team came and sat beside my desk and are just yapping yapping! How dare someone speak about themselves post work hour where others are working post work hours! They don’t know basic things, like not talking around people who are unable to finish the work in their shift hours.
One woman with a sad face, coz again, woman! They cry over everything! Started saying one guy is following her almost everywhere. To the cafeteria, coffee machine, lockers, common break area, etc. Can I file the same complaint against these women who followed me to Starbucks? Now, don’t you think are they following daily? But it’s a coffee shop? Don’t expect logic from women coz all they know is emotions and crying.
Earlier today I almost met another real man! When I was narrating this story to him, he told exactly what was in my mind. “Bro, we men are always the victims in the end; the corporate always takes women’s side.” Just in case you are reading this, I’m assuming you are a real man too? Or maybe my expectations are superior coz all real men are falling and failing.
Bring in any stat from corporate: possible, just because women are coming to the workplace, you now have to have a workplace harassment committee, POSH committee, pride days in corporate, etc. If not for women, we wouldn’t need any of these things. Just some cigars to smoke, a coffee machine, and things to get done.
My grandfather was a proud man! He had so much land under his name that even today, if we go to the village to pay respects to him, the villagers say, “Look as far as you can, and the land still belonged to you!” What happened to that, now you ask? Well, obviously, women slept with him and got that land from him! Shame on them for sleeping when asked and gave the land that he gave!
You might be wondering why I’m always thinking so logically; well, you gotta be deeply involved in the internet to actually understand how men are being used literally for personal gain by women. It’s actually ridiculous that almost all men fall prey whenever a girl approaches, talks, they hang out, and a man spends money. Now she acts as if she owes him nothing! So many stories.
I always had this deep respect for the guy who was in our group; people call him jobless, but I call him an opportunity creator. Few just don’t understand the vision of being always available. He always used to flirt with people who need something from him, gets it done, and obviously everything is not free; he sleeps with them. But if you see him, he looks like the carbon copy of a mature leader. I don’t see any issue, just a transaction; again, who is losing their character here? Women!
Now you know how good this guy is; obviously, I would want his company. I mean, who wouldn’t, right? So we went to a party at his house; we were drinking, and there was one guy who said he doesn’t drink coz science said it’s dangerous! For fuck sake! How did your ancestors survive 80 years without science? My grandmother might’ve passed away at 24 giving birth, but my grandfather still married and raised a family, even beating his wife at 90! Where is the science now?
So we approached him and started bullying, naturally! He took everything with a smile! My rage at that point was so much! I wanted to break his glasses and shove them up his… okay, okay, cool. So the earlier guy couldn’t hold it any longer and called him a nerd virgin; he smiled and said he was! LMAO… who would accept that? The fun we had after that was magical! We ensured that the smile-faced got tears, and he went home in his undies. We dropped him off at his flat; we are not monsters!
The only other guy that I had a bit of respect for was a guy who had guts. He drove all the way from Bangalore to meet a woman during COVID! Imagine the sacrifice! Now don’t question the consequences of why he did it. The woman was working because the whole team didn’t have their systems set up, so she had to work more. Now, now, don’t think of the details on whether she communicated and all. Of course she did! But can that stop love? The love to control the other so much that they eventually become the same person. COVID can’t affect true love, but apparently it affected her father, who was in ICU for 14 days. But hey, he survived! Don’t you dare call this controlling behavior!
The current generation clearly has a disconnect from reality. They always use terms like personal space, personalities, boundaries, etc. What boundaries? You love that person, submit to him, and do as he says. If he says he doesn’t like you speaking to someone regarding anything, don’t. If he wants you to take customs seriously, you should definitely do it. Don’t ask why! It’s about loving and submitting to him. He can talk to others coz he is a man, while you as a woman, don’t know what is what and need protection!
Earlier, our office space was mundane. Only a few used to work from the office. Then some girl decided to come and work when she could sit at home and work comfortably. The audacity! And naturally, men started staring at her, and then we decided the floor needed more color. Don’t you call this objectification. Calling women color is saying beautiful. Ask any artist, especially songwriters who write lyrics about how they describe women in songs. You won’t go there and complain that it’s objectifying.
So that’s the reality of it. Men are men, women are women, and apparently I am the only one willing to say what everyone else is thinking. Maybe that’s why people get offended. Maybe they just don’t like hearing the truth.”
Except it isn’t entirely my truth.
I wrote him this way on purpose. Every excuse, every justification, every little leap in logic, every time something was done to a woman and somehow the woman became responsible for it. I wanted to see how far these ideas could be stretched before they stopped sounding like opinions and started sounding exactly like what they are.
If you could agree or relate to any of the points in the story, congratulations! You are a certified misogynist!! People, especially women, should be very careful around you.
If you think I exaggerated, ask any woman around you, and you will hear similar or even more disgusting incidents.
When a woman says, “Not all men, but always a man,” she isn’t saying every man is an abuser. She’s pointing at a pattern. And if hearing about that pattern makes you more angry than hearing what women have actually experienced, maybe the problem isn’t that you were misunderstood. Maybe you understood perfectly.
