I feel feminists are absolutely correct when they talk of double burden for women. These days to sustain a family it is essential that both the parents are working. But expecting something from women that even men do not, or shall I say, CANNOT do is absolutely ridiculous. It is extremely tiring for a woman to both handle the work pressures and looking after the household and the kids. This could have been much easier had the men agreed to help out the women in the household chores. But NO! They have got other "important" stuff to do. For instance, talking endlessly to millions of people about utter bullshit, while women are working their ass out in the kitchen.
Both my parents love to talk. I mean, they can talk continuously for hours on their favourite topics. But what I loathe about dad is, he doesn't let my mother or me talk, at all. He requires silence in the house all the time, which is of course absolutely not possible. He talks whenever he likes and expects us to listen to him patiently. If I ever start talking he'll ignore my words as if I was non-existent! Same goes for mom, except that she always rudely shoos me away. I want to tell someone about what all happened with me on that particular day, what were my experiences, but not a single soul is there to listen. My parents don't care about my point of view however logical it is. They don't want to listen. I always question them whenever it comes to an argument,'If you didn't want to listen to what I have to say then why did you even give birth to me on the first place?'
I am not an introvert. Certain people know that. I love to talk. But there is no one to listen. Yes, there was one person who listened to me, well not listened to me but read all the messages that I sent him and replied with so much enthusiasm which enraptured me. He's gone. Now I have no one.
I, unlike father, love to listen to other people as well, and not just continuously talk. But he, he is just concerned about his negative liberty- freedom from interference by other people, it is primarily concerned with freedom from external restraint and contrasts with positive liberty (the possession of the power and resources to fulfill one's own potential)- well, it is an important term in political philosophy.
Well, I got to witness a lot of stuff today which just completely messed up my equilibrium. Which is why such a muddled and vague post this is. Apologies. Today, I silently spectated all the hypocritical situations that my surroundings had to offer. This was just an extension of my inane feelings which have obviously been overly exaggerated. I do not want to maintain a diary on this site because I already have one. This technically should have been written in my diary, but I didn't do so because there already exists many a pages like this. I didn't want to bore it with my idiotic feelings.
