Blame Man or Society

Recently I was forwarded a link to an article that talked about the "Female Molestation" in India. I read thru the comments and the links on those comments and finally came to the humble realization ... People just dont get it !

Guys come out to show sympathy and acknowledge their understanding and girls share their own experiences about molestation when confronted with a victim. And yet none have really asked ... "WHY"?

Being a "Male" myself, I am assured a lot of impugnable stares questioning my understanding of the subject. And while I dont advocate such behaviour, I certainly dont blame "MAN" for his actions. And here is the "WHY"

I am not responsible for ill-treating a woman if my society teaches me to do that. I see husbands beat up wives, I see the so-called elders (including women) assert the fact that "women" are indeed meant to "serve" and sexual fulfillment is one aspect of their service... And I see that the society humilates the girl more than the boy in an event that such an action becomes public.

I am not responsible for being curious when I am given half-knowledge in a sexually starved society like India. I dont get answers to questions and yet I have this natural urge to get them answered. I watch movies that introduce a sexual aspect into any relation just to meet their box office figures... And I dont see ANY parenting that is aimed to teach their children to respect "Women".

And I am certainly not responsible for my actions if out of 10 times, I get a favourable response atleast 8 times ! For 8 freakin times the girl will just coyly shy away with not a word said. 2 against 8 is a pretty good odd for me to chance fullfilling my sexual appetite dont u think? Good material to yank myself for 8 out of 10 days !

My sympathies with those who were molested and used a forum to just "narrate" the incident. But my gratified and indepted appreciation for those who chose to act against, even if at times it meant making a mountain of a mole hill.

Come back with me

Even before we've met,
Ive stared into ur eyes...
in a dreamy gaze of a smiling face
with content romantic sighs

Ive smelt the fragrance of ur hair,
and Ive felt ur soft pink lips...
with a kiss held within my breath
and my hands tight round ur hips

Ive felt the warmth of ur touch
and the softness of ur skin
Ive felt the glory, its just too much
and Ive felt it from within

Ive felt u close in ways so whelming
like I never have before
that Im starved and pained in ur absense
Coz Im left here wanting more

I wonder if my heart so frail
can take such cruel pain
when finally we do get to meet
We'll kiss good byes again

I want you close, I want u near,
I want you here to be
So I hope and hope, and hope and hope,
I hope ul come back with me
