EQUAL RITES

AFTER A LONG LONG SABBATICAL I AM BACK ... THIS SUDDEN SPURT OF ENERGY OUGHT TO LAST FOR A WHILE.. :).. Or at least i hope so...

Here goes nothing...

I am in a very ranty(bloggetic license) mood.

Foreword : Girls fight for emancipation.Claim equal rights.Equality in everything.



By the way you guys gotta read EQUAL RITES by Terry Pratchet.For the uninitiated Terry Pratchet is the god of
funny satirical fantasy.

Here goes nothing.

Despite all claims on equality , there are seats reserved for women at all kinds of places
but have you ever heard of seats reserved for men.. A gal can coolly walk into a place and ask
a guy to get up. Its galling is what it is.

Have any of you heard of a gal willingly agreeing to dutch it out on a date.. :) . The guy
picks the gal up, takes her out, pays for everything and drops her back. And at the end of all
that he is supposed to be grateful for having had the chance to take her out. Is there no
justice in this world?

There is a very fine line a man walks. Holding the door open might be considered chivalrous but
pulling a chair for a gal to sit might be construed as sheer chauvinism (i can draw my own chair
humph).


Well at this point of time i would like to make it clear that its the system that i am against.
Lolz given half a chance to take a pretty gal out ill be the epitome of chivalry ;) (as i have
been before) . Thankfully none of my previous "dates" are gonna read this so i must be just
imagining the scoffing noises.

Where was i.. ah..

One need not particularly mention that gals especially pretty ones need not be particularly good
at what they do. They just need to sit around and look pretty. Of course this could be in part
(who i am kidding, wholly attributed to men being extra horny).As evinced in a zillion places
and instances which are too numerous to jot down (did i mention i was lazy).

After all these terrible injustices perpetrated on poor unsuspecting men, they have the cheek
to say THEY are being discriminated against.. Thats rich is what it is..


erm p.s.. I am a chauvinist.. ;)
