Men are the New Women
Paresh Kumar
IndiaGALLERYCONVERSATION
Back in the day it was good to be a boy. Life was something to look forward to. It seemed that just being born a man was reason...
Masculinity and most of its plumage seems to have evaded me. I don’t have the physique of an underwear model, or any strength or exceptional stamina to speak of. I don’t have money, and although I do have a keen interest in women it is seldom reciprocated. I have had no adventures and nobody envies my life, in fact nobody cares enough even to not envy it.
This is in my opinion due to the fact that I never let myself develop a set of balls. Or rather society stifled my balls. I think this is an affliction that a lot of young men suffer from these days. Neutered; that’s how society prefers its men today.
Women have decided that the men have deprived them of being men for long enough. So over the past hundred years or so women all over the world have been devoting their energies to be more like men. It is seen as emancipation of a sort and the women seem to be in a celebratory mood about it.
The fact of the matter is that the women are going the same way as the young men before them have gone, to a neutered, assembly-line existence, which is the only kind of existence allowed in a progressive society. Society used to expect women to work for men, now women work as men for the greater good of society. Women need men less and less.
