You stay silent when your mother is treated like
shit by your father,
You stay silent when your friend takes dowry from
his wife's family,
You stay silent when your classmates sits at a
nukkad whistling'maal'at passing women saying it
is innocent fun,
You stay silent when a million women every year
in this nation are murdered before birth or their
breath dunked in milk before god after it,
You don't report the drunkard husband who beat
up your maid servant because it is not your
business,
You stayed silent when your boss hit upon a
female colleague and you told her to grin and bear
it because it happens everywhere,
You stay silent when our police and paramilitary
gang rape tribal and lower caste women and
shove stones inside their rectum saying that
that's an aberration of the system,
You did not protest the lower pay that your female
colleagues got just because of their sex,
You helped your parents arrange a marriage for
your sister against her wishes saying she doesn’t
know her mind,
You stayed silent when in a family discussion a
woman’s voice was silenced by the cacophony of
male voices,
You force a woman to wear burqa in the pretext of
sharia law or justify their domesticity because
some asshole called Manu wrote some asinine
laws hundreds of years back,
You think feminism is shit and feminist loud
mouthed'bitches'who have not better work to do
than cry victim,
You applaud as Hindu right wing men barge into a
hotel and slap ‘immoral’ women with the intention
of ‘reforming’ their ‘maa’ ‘behen’,
You stay silent when females in a party are sent
away to discuss'childish'things even as you
discuss'important'things like politics and all in
their absence,
You stayed silent when your father directly and
sarcastically showed your mother that she's lower
then men in intelligence time and again,
You objected loudly when your girlfriend, wife
wanted to put her life and career ahead of yours
saying yours was more important,
And now suddenly you have become a man
because ONE woman was brutally beaten and
raped while you conveniently forget the hundreds
of women whose psyche you were responsible for
brutally beating and raping directly, or indirectly
through your inaction... and now you evoke the
same'maa'and'behen'argument to protect them...
Thanks to the serpent of your awakened manhood,
that woman in Delhi will perhaps get justice. But
what about the millions of other women in the
country of different religion, region and sect united
by their shared injustice who will perhaps never
get justice precisely for the same reason - your
manhood?
Do you think that this is the bitter truth?
