It is often too difficult to decide which one of the two is weirder.The one whose behaviour pattern is governed by the chromosome 'Y' or the one whose is dominated by the chromosome 'X'. For example, if we consider the experience of these two genders who have been through child abuse(sexual here), the reaction,effect and the way it is looked at by these two sexes is entirely different. Women,for whom even an attempt on her dignity leaves her feeling downgraded and suspicious of the guilty gender's intentions. Whereas a man is okay if assaulted by a woman. But if its a man then things don't go well with them.
A conversation between these two major classifications of the race 'Homo Sapien':
Man:-" Do you know that I lost my innocence at a comparatively young age?"
Woman:-"Goodness! No. What had happened?"
"My friend's elder sisters would invite me over to their place when alone.They would make me strip and run their hands over my body."
"Disgusting"
"Yes.Later on they would strip too and make me do unspeakable things to them."
"Why didn't you tell your parents?"
"I didn't tell my parents because I didn't want it to stop.Blame it on my hormones."
"!!!!!!!!!!!"
"But later I would feel the guilt. Something felt wrong there. And now after all these years when I look back, I feel cheated and used. I get filled with hatred for those women. I even hate the institution authorities who hired these females for teaching."
Weird!! Thinks woman. If he enjoyed the episode then and consented to it,how come he feels cheated now? Why hate institution authorities who never knew about this incident? Is it an attempt to shift the guilt and blame over to other entity?
" I have a somewhat similar story too tell." Said the lady. " Had a horrible uncle who had his eyes set on me when I was ten years old."
"Holy shit! Just ten?"
"Yes. He would find ways of hugging and touching me whenever he found me alone.Luckily we didn't stay under one roof. So he couldn't lay his hands on me too often. I didn't suspect a thing as he was an uncle whom I considered respect worthy."
"Go on
"This went on for about till I was 18 years old.Then one fine day he was asked to drop me someplace."
"Okay.So?"
"He stopped the car in the middle of nowhere."
"You were alone with him in the vehicle?"
"Yes."
"Then?"
"He asked me to kiss him.Said come on lets do it at least once.I refused. He tried to force me but I resisted. Infuriated he ordered me out of the car. Asked me to find way on my own.Thought that I'll beg him to drop me at a safer place."
"Did you?"
"No.I got down and took a direction I thought was okay.Soon reached a main road and took a cab from there."
"Brave girl."
"The thing is I still get dark dreams .I see him coming towards me.I jump into a dark abyss to save myself.These dreams scare me. I hate men."
"I hate men too."
Overreaction? Muses man.After all no harm was done to her and she escaped safe and sound.Then why all this hullabaloo? Weird!
Now, there exists a third category of perfectly normal people considered weirdest by some. The Eunuchs. This category trust their souls to be that of a woman trapped in the body of a man. The very sight of these awesome people makes me want to flee. But as I've been brought up with the moral value 'never hurt other people's sentiments', I keep nodding, smiling pretending to enjoy their company to the fullest specially when they address me as 'sister'. All this while a song keeps playing at the back of my mind 'Bhaag bhaag D.K.Bose D.K.Bose...........
