Wonderful, there is no ‘international’ term for quality guys. The nearest term for quality guys could be ‘gentleman’, again there is no single definition of perfect gentleman or say, the ideal man. For sure, however, a gentleman will always finish what he has started, hence, you are determined to read this post till the bottom. I am not a misandrist, never was and never will, like women, men too have issues, they are human after all, but I find these particular set of men quite disturbing or say rather challenging, here they are:
The Misogynist
You don’t believe in the cult of Womanhood? Motherhood? Sisterhood? Daughterhood? Wifehood? Good! I too don’t believe in cults. Now, search for the meaning of ‘misogynist’ in Google and see whether you fall under that brand or not. If you do then dude, you need are in shit trouble, run for the nearest counselling centre. I am not going to say anything more because you hate me, I already know.
<I don’t agree with the saying, ‘man’s brain is under his zipper’. Our brain lies on where our addiction lies- that becomes our weakness>
The ‘Alpha Male’ Contestant
Fighting for the ultimate title of ‘Alpha Male’? Are you conceived that this title is held by the strongest among men, having all the traits of man? But the literal meaning of ‘Alpha’ is ‘first’ or the ‘beginning’ and there is nothing so cool about being the first man on the planet as Gillette was not invented (all the hairs more like bushes or branches coming for here and there, birds shitting freely and openly). Sometimes, a male who has slept with numerous women or his calculations higher (still counting) than his not so lucky friends, is considered as the ‘Alpha Male’. He is best suited in a world of magical realism (set the novel). He should be given credit if he survives STD, Syphilis, HIV/AIDs. Anyway, is Alpha Male measured by the degree of ego he has? Come on, you have to tell me what is/ are the barometer/parameter of being crowned as the Alpha Male.
<When Vogue India came out with ‘My Choice’ video featuring Deepika Padukone, majority of female viewers' opinions were shaped by the hypocrisy of Vogue, a magazine which exploits the essence of womanhood through immense objectivity. Of course, there is a country-wise standard of ‘handsome’ too but it cannot be held objectification of men. On the other hand, most of male viewers' had only one problem with the video, the line, ‘sex outside marriage’. It says a lot>
The ‘I hate Feminist’ monger
There are various strands of feminist theory, and of course, there is division among them depending on its theoretical analysis of social systems (sorry for the oversimplified explanation). You blame feminist for your divorce, you blame feminist for your burned cake, you blame feminist for your unattended laundry, do you blame feminism for the bad weather? Some months ago, there was an incident of ‘male-bashing- public-shaming’ in the social network, when the fabrication of the story by the lady was known, the comments made were -how feminist has gone wrong, feminism is to be blamed, blah, blah, beef, mango and chutney etc. If those commenters only knew that they live in a realm of wider lie brought about by a person irrespective of gender and that feminism tries to fight that system, then they could have been merciful enough to sharpen their theoretical framework.
<Hook-up culture is superceding the wooing culture, some blame the feminist while the fact is the evolutionary nature of mating which undergoes changes every twenty years approximately>
I am not a promoter of Battle of the sexes. Boring, so many literature have been written and movies are made on this theme, but it still continues to mint money. Maybe, deep down we enjoy reading or watching such crappy genres, screaming, shouting, congratulating the writer or director for the happy-endings. Sexual tensions (bantering capsule) can be exciting, but we hardly have control over our words and actions and sometimes it reflects how patriarchy is so deeply inherent in us. Is there anyone who wants machines to fight with machines? Machines are considered ‘genderless’ yet ‘male’. Soon we will create ‘soft’ machines and ‘hard’ machines and thus the fight will begin. And we might be left with nothing to say except, don’t be so predictable!
*People! Men and women, ‘Happy International Men’s Day’ and do take care of your mental health.
