Once a
friend remarked, “Wai chikha jo bay,
namshi dro bay gey mena” (Let’s go outside and harass the weather) when the
weather that weekend behaved improperly when we had something proper in mind. Does
this make sense? Man vs. nature! But it surely is a good laugh! I even have a
personality in mind for man vs. nature! The following tells one of the
insensible good laugh, which is prevalent in our social system like the
laughing stock mentioned in the opening lines.
It’s better
to get into a woman’s shoes and feel their pain for a while than being the
woman itself, because nobody can play your role better than you. It’s a man’s
job to decide what is befriending good for and what women would consider if men
be like women. We were created, by whosoever, had kept this difference that men
be men and women be women.
I took us
millennia(s) or may be even longer to keep that difference and life was fine
and evolution brought us this far, for what-to compete against each other. If
so, then, we need to get rid of the femininity and masculinity concepts. Let’s
not make them juxtapose forcefully in the name of relationships, development,
distance or any other biological stupidity!
Women here
enjoy equal rights as men and nobody is against it. This has been there even
before the first educated Bhutanese became educated-that women inherited
everything in the good old ancient times-you name it! Now that modernization is
sweeping everyone’s’ mind, it has become obvious that women demand rights. Why
not because some men claim to be men and be women at the same time! Some men
are perfectly women everywhere but it doesn’t mean men become women when
dealing women for whatever reasons. The writer laments...because he lives in
such set condition.
They (women)
in the form of mothers, sisters, aunties, friends make decisions, keep safe of
everything around them and meet the needs in the most difficult of times and
yet manage to live with such self confidence which men cannot if men were to
take up all the daunting tasks that women live everyday with. We have fine
women personalities around the world for which men are of no match.
Thanks and
nobody can play your role better than you! Praised be women-kind!
Thank you to
womanhood and all women on this planet playing an applaud-able role despite
your own problems.
And have you
come across biological men who although have attributes of a man but does
everything that a woman should. I have seen plenty! These cohorts of men seemingly
tell one thing and do something other-that their outlook and motives are a
result of feminine unanimous-ness. For
them it’s a world where making women comfortable is of importance and for men, “Khemey, ngache phogey tsu dhi tub ra tub
ba” (It’s definitely ok for we are men). What is “tub” (Ok) and “mey tub” (isn’t
ok) is for individuals to decide not for the ones that wear a masculine
body with feminine outlook and thinking pattern-be it a husband, a colleague, a
mate, an acquaintance, a crony, or for that matter a demanding boss.
My opinion
is of little significance and I don’t intend a speck of curiosity to be aroused
in you as readers because you might have fallen short of time and expressions
even if you may have felt or may be feeling the same, but it delights me in
having known electronically that you read this write up. Thank you readers and
thank you for everything, this world wouldn’t have been possible without
you-women!
Lastly, not
the least of all, a belated happy mother’s day to all women on this earth for
keeping things going in this brief called life!
