Well, that was just an allusion.
When a woman is "assaulted", it is ALWAYS and I repeat - always the fault of the man.
Thus, when any crime against women is reported, it is immediately concluded that it is the "man" who has committed the crime. Be it a little nudge in a busy and crowded bus or a shove in a teeming discothèque - the man is the culprit. No, people - please realize that there can be no innocent or accident nudges or pushes. There is always a motive behind such acts. Wonder what motives do women have when similar incidents happen in ladies compartments or ladies' restrooms.
Well, take this case, for instance. I go to a birthday party of my "friend". A friend who is such a good friend that he had tried "molesting" me a few months back. And I have forgiven him. So much so that I can afford to wear a hardly-there dress to the party. Well, off course I am innocent. I try to erase off the past memory by putting cake on his face. And make peace by "simply" pecking him on his cheek. And gosh!!! What an animal he turns out to be. He smooches me for ten seconds. And he does it again. Twice!!! And all my bodyguards and brothers simply watch!! Men - such wretched souls.
I go and complain to the police. But hey!! Not before I inform the media. Even I have a career to build. And such incidents would boost my career. Simple, morons!!
I faintly remember a film, which I saw when I was a kid. The movie had Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit in it. And in the film, Madhuri falsely accuses Aamir of molesting her. And Aamir becomes vengeful and gives her a taste of her own medicine. No, not by molesting her - but making her realize how it feels to be molested. That is precisely what men should be wary of.
Women have exactly done what they teach us to do in B-Schools - to turn our biggest weakness into our stength. They have turned their weakness into their strength - thanks to the recent verdict by the SC which says that a complain made by a woman on grounds of harassment or molestation or rape will account to a proper criminal report and will be investigated from there on.
Well, I am not saying that men do not commit these heinous crimes. They do. And am sure any kind of punishment is less for such crimes. Because these crimes deal with issues much more than homicide - they deal with murdering the souls. But I seriously do feel that women should also know when to shout wolf. Otherwise they would soon lose the credibility that they enjoy today.
Women should sit up and notice such recent tall claims by women-who-should-not-be-named. They are not maligning the reputation of men - men already have a notorious tag. On the contrary, they are toying with the integrity of women.
I was not there in that birthday party or I was not at a particular "police function" - but still I staunchly believe that women themselves should be a little careful. The blame game may continue for ages - but it is the women who suffer in the end. As they say, prevention is better than cure. There is no point is just blaming the disease when we know that we had not taken enough precaution.
I do not know how it feels to be a woman but I surely know how it feels to be trusted. And if I were a woman, I would spread the word like fire.
Meanwhile, while enjoying myself being born a man, I am quite excited at inviting you all to my birthday party. Hey, do not miss this opportunity to get into the "news"!!!

I have always noticed that when there is a road accident, the car driver is blamed. No matter whose fault it is (and most of the times, the person crossing the road or walking down is at fault) - the driver is accused of rash driving and "accordingly" lynched.
