it has always astounded me how easily women can lie. Lying , slight changes to the truth and straight outright denials of the apparent are such natural things to them. I had dated this girl once, this woman of my late teen dreams, who used to convince people me included that she had indeed called them up to keep in touch , which she never did . She once promised my 12 year old sister that shed come and visit her again and asked her to come over to her place.
She never intended that to happen. Yet she smiled and most sincerely invited her over.
My sister smiled back and said she would.
That was what amazed me. Both of those women never meant to keep that word. They positively knew that both of them wouldnt bother to keep in touch. Yet they smiled , hugged and said their goodbyes like long lost siblings.
I was pretty puzzled.Why?
The thing about women that i learnt, and this is going to get very sexist from this point on, so here's the disclaimer that all these are just my personal views and liable to be influenced by my personal experiences and opinions, is that they live in denial.
They say they want to be treated equal and yet they make guys stand up from their seats. It is not an uncommon sight in the Delhi metro to see girls making guys give up their seats. Guys their own age. They (if they are chill enough) admit that they are turned on by dominating men. They like to feel like a woman they claim in defence. And if you donot believe me try courting a girl by being honestly respectful. If it is not a trip to the friendzone please do share your story with the rest of us.
Women are just like men in most senses. They fart , laugh at others, make wierd noises when no one's around, they are ambitious, and they love sex.
Yet there are all these stereotypes. Women will tell you themselves. "Yaar ladkiyon mein aisa hi hota hai". Women are bitches , a lot of my girlfriends have claimed. I am taken aback everytime.Why?And what then are you?
I have reached a point in life where it is simply unbearable for me to listen to anyone continuously berate someone i barely know. I dont know, im just not interested. Yet every time im having a decent conversation with some girl, her friends and their friends, mothers, maamis and chachi pop up and thats the end for me.
It is not a good habit but when im outside and i pick up on what some stranger is speaking, eavesdropping is evil i know but none the less, if that stranger is female, the topic of conversation is invariably some third party X.
I read this somewhere that great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and poor minds discuss people.
This made me ponder about what is it about our society that makes women so interested in gossiping. God forbid, are they all poor minds?
Then it hit me. I may be wrong but i have a possible hypothesis. Women across the world for thousands of generation now have been bereft of equal opportunity. It is a theory that my mom once told me that in places and countries where there have been a lot of invasions and wars it became common practice to hide the women. Women indoors were safer. And women after all were future/present/probable mothers. Keeping them safe was just a wise decision. And it turned out to be extremely favourable for men too. With women being increasingly deprived of their powers, they could just as easily be deprived of their self respect and identity. And the system worked.
Deprive them of their ability to consider themselves equals as humans and you can dominate them forever.
Then came the technological revolutions, and soon enough there were t.v's and radios in houses across the globe. Movies had come along even before. And these were the perfect tools for propaganda politicians had long ago figured out. Circulate the ideals of what a woman should be like , and you are now controlling them with an idea. You dont need societal pressures to enforce rules any more. You just invented inception.
So we have "bedaag gorapan","beta engineer beti doctor","ladki hai toh arts le legi","ladkiyon ko maths nahi samajh aata".
And we have "Baalika vadhu","Kyunki Saas..." and all other televised crap in between idolizing the all sacrificing woman.
Selfishness Ayn Rand had argued, was looking out for ones own self interest. It was in no way a bad character trait for looking out for ones self interest is the basic purpose of life,life is redundant without it .
Women were taught that they had no self interest.
Look after your husband,kids,mother in law,parents,siblings, uncles,aunts,look out for everyone but yourself.
They never were and on a large scale still arent taught the same values that we as young boys learn.
That you must work for what you desire. That sometimes you must also fight.
I believe fundamentally that is what is wrong with the female kingdom today. Like oppressed sub societies everywhere from the blacks in america to the untouchables in India, women are a historically oppressed race, which has been deprived of their natural rights for far too long .
It will take a considerable effort from various world governments, and educational institutions to remove the various mental barriers that have stood in their way for so long.
So that next time a girl does not dump a boy because he was not dominating enough.

Its nice you tried to touch the reasons and patterns, but psychologically and anthropologically seen the patterns are much more deeply ingrained than those outlined here.
The women in west must not be doing the bitching thing if the shadow of unequal rights and dominance is removed, but you will be surprised even there women tend to be less trustworthy and would rarely stand up for anyone other than their own blood.
I am not saying there is something creepy about women in general but behavioral analysis around men's love for dogs and women's love for cats somehow hints about certain difference in qualities they adore and adopt.
