Indian Women's So-called Safety Manual
# If a woman goes alone with a man to a place, he has the license to take her for granted.
# If a woman talks frankly with a man, smiles at him, touches him, he can take her normal, friendly behaviour as hint.
# The time at which a girl returns home decides her character. The later, the lower.
# If a girl stays alone, chances are high she is soliciting. Therefore she should always return to the safety of man - father, husband - and not try to be independent.
# If a woman makes a drink for a man, she is promiscuous
# If a woman reciprocates a man's non-veg joke with another one, she is portraying herself as a woman of questionable character.
# "Nahi" me "magar" ki gunjais nahi hoti. (there is no scope for 'but' in 'not'). But if neighbours (men, women) see men enter the house of independent women then they can infer that the women can be taken liberty with , even if the distinguished neighbours haven't seen them in the act of bedding. (How can they peep? Respectable people don't peep into houses, after all. It is completely respectable that they can draw conclusions on women's character without any evidence, just on assumption).
# Liquor is a veritable indicator of low standard for women. They are the preserve of men only. Poor man gets provoked though when he is drunk. Or she. Possessing mobile phone, being educated, being independent, drinking, smiling, dressing inappropriately are parameters by which women run the risk of endangering themselves as potential preys of sexual perversion.
# Venue can decide how the behaviour of woman can be construed. In a temple or a library there is little scope for hints. But a party is not so chemically inert place.
# If a woman says no, it is not enough. The man can say it (like Talaaq). He can stop anytime (if finished, or not in the mood). Woman should simply be obsequious. Otherwise she should become decent. Remain safe. Get herself in the custody of a man not in the mood.
# Even a prostitute cannot stop midway. She cannot halt the irreversible business. After all, she has been paid. Of course, a man can say no to his boss. He can object. He can quit.
# English discourse and western dress haven't made our country any less feudal than it has been for ages. So when a woman goes for drinks and dinner with men assuming it as her choice she actually goes as a signboard called 'available'.
# Achhe ghar ki ladkiyan drinks nahi karti, parties me nahi jaati (except family get togethers), ladkon se nahi milti. Thoda padh-poodh leti hai. Then wed. Cook. Serve. Wash. Dry. Dust. Bed. Breed. Raise children. Raise the scion. The son. The star. The hope.
# 'No' is a sentence in itself. But it is too petite. Frail. Feeble. Sick. Handicap. Especially when the grand sceptre of masculinity is awake, aroused, is in mission mode.
# Woman, after all, is nothing unless 'wo' is prefixed to 'man'. The society, it's laws, it's books, it's culture, it's religion, it's rulers, it's gods - all are created by men. So, why should women be surprised if life and society are so conveniently tailor-made for men?
