Angels and Demons.

Every time we hold hands with our current squeeze, there is a disapproving tap on our shoulder. Every time we step out in a mini skirt we are forced to think twice about our choice of clothing. The moral police are killing our freedom of speech and expression, but not anymore! We are raising our voices against baseless claims.


Moral delusion #1
An unmarried girl cannot possibly have guys in her life who r just friends (minus the quotes)

Bitter truth #1
These are just excuses to curtail a girl's sexuality and choices, thus ensuring that they don't end up realizing what today bums guys really are, and thus don't dump them for a better deal. This stereotype is regularly reinforced by the media where the evil vamp is shown as the lady who smokes, drinks and has all male friends as opposed to d ever sacrificial heroine. But in all fairness, what's sauce for the goose had better be the sauce for the gander.


Moral Delusion #2

Valentines' day is an evil influence of the west. Unfortunately, Rakhi Sawant cannot be passed off as an evil influence of the west, and neither will she shut up despite all the controversy that surrounds her. so move on to softer targets! Down with young couples sitting together on 14th February exchanging an innocent teddy bear or some harmless jewellery. Guys n girls must enjoy each others company if they r married or related to each other. Sheesh!

Bitter truth #2
If religion and politics can be stuffed down every one's throats, why cant a little love? People grab their 15 secs of fame by stomping over insignificant issues like those to cover up for their inaction on more pressing issues. Party workers manhandle young couples and use it as an excuse to extort money from them. Yes, valentine's day is yet another corporate conspiracy, but hey, it's one we love to celebrate! After all, hasn't every other occasion become one? Mother's day, Fathers day, Childrens day, Teachers day, Rose day, Chocolate day, Peace day, No smoking day, Aids day. Phew! Besides, why should it concern anyone if consenting adults are sitting around holding hands? As long as they aren't making out in public, roughing them up is a violation of their individual rights.


Moral delusion #3

Girls who dress in skimpy clothes (read sleeveless tees) or spend time outside their homes at night, are inviting men, if they are misbehaved with, molested or raped, they must have been tempting the man and how dare they object to d incident!

Bitter truth #3

In a case of he says vs she says situation, its much easier to have a scapegoat; and what better way to maintain the male race's superiority, than to pin the blame on the girl? This argument actually does nothing to stop such heinous crimes. For one, it reduces the 'man' to an uncivilised being ruled by animalistic urges. Second, its logic cannot justify why women who are covered from heat to toe, like elderly ladies in saris with their heads covered or even young girls, incapable of 'sexual overtures' get raped.


Moral Delusion #4
Guys and girls should not show any signs of affection or fondness in public. A kiss in public, no matter how innocent, causes life scarring mental trauma to people who witness it, and encourage their little children to replicate such horrible, culturally demoralising acts. Love and sex are matters of the innermost recesses of one's bedroom and should stay there.

Bitter truth #4

We don't understand why the most celebrated of human emotions must be kept veiled at all times. It's just a matter of holding hands, a hug or a peck on d cheek, not a full blown make put session! Sex is on our television sets, on the internet, in magazines, in all our hormone fuelled conversations, and yes, its a hot topic amongst the politicos of our country. Yet, a simple gesture of affection is sees as violation of a woman. These guys have it all messed up.


In conclusion all I can say is that reform starts at home. So, if you're annoyed enough by these purveyors of unwanted intervention weed out such elements if you know them personally. Get them to see the light of reason.
