Boys will be boys???

A very interesting conversation I had yesterday….. fighting over something trivial as a cat that we would like….never knew mundane things like that could unravel long held notions…its true when they say small doors often open into large rooms. As fate would have it became not a question of cats but a larger one of perspectives, about guys and gals…. stereotypes and expectations…. wants and desires… Then I realized that in this male dominated society of ours, we have been so conditioned to think in our own way that we are simply blinded in our realization of others desires (read girls). Men do what they think is best for them despite the hypocritical sounding everyone is equal…..blah… blah… we all know the truth men rule this world and make its rules…. We expect our mothers, sisters, girlfriends … to follow and support our every decision…. But what of their hopes, their desires and their wants…. oops... never thought of that…or the more politically correct….. I think this is best for you....... it’s so strange this perspective suddenly puts the spotlight on us men….. and frankly reveals us to be quite hypocritical…Our entire history, and indeed our lives can be seen in perspective..... What of the mother who nurtured her son despite the death of her other two sons and no family support?….Would she be given less credit than the son for his achievements…What of the wife who supported the family sacrificing her budding law career to raise children…Is she any less than her husband who became the President of United States…. I remember the president is said to have remarked that no one will write a book about his mother although volumes will be written about his speeches….It is ironical that we have very pithy sayings to cover these blemishes almost like the dab of makeup to cover the warts…Behind every successful man there is a women…Its time we give women their due….
