Now lets see : why do feminist articles like these have to include some male bashing as well? Inspite of all the complaining, the matter of fact is that women are getting better education and job opportunities today (BPO. for eg.). 80% of new EU jobs since 2000, have gone to females! Plus, their chances of climbing the corporate ladder are much higher, given the 'free style' of living that is becoming very common these days. And yet, females have a vested interest in crying wolf!

Females are growing up through generations of pampering, and expecting to be pampered as a ‘higher caste’ even in this day of empowerment, infidelity, and high divorce rates.

Divorce and remarriage should be recognised by the judiciary of todays world, as a consequence of a break-up in a relationship; it should not hold the husband alone responsible. Divorce rates are 40% in Mumbai today - encouraged by feminists no doubt - due to the empowerment of women and increased awareness of maintenance laws. Females possess a natural talent - to be believed, even when they lie, seeking to hurt their ex-husbands. This, coupled with deliberately biased laws make a deadly cocktail.

SR, Rushdie grew sick of marriages, but only after his 4th. You have one more to go. Maybe you will then change your mind? HA HA HA

Re: # 14

Criminals are present in every society. Irrespective of age, gender, caste, sex or religion. It is useless debating which one has more.

Having said that, it should be recognised that marriages are failing too. Most people, irrespective of sex, are unable to live together in marriage. Again, this is irrespective of nation or religion.

There used to be a time when females got the better of the work - doing household chores, while the male sweated it out on the fields. In todays more posh world, the female again wants to do the easier of the work - in BPO jobs, for eg., while the male has to earn for her even AFTER divorce!

Pakistani women may be biased against, but this is not the case in India, where anti-male laws are passed with gay abandon.

It will be easier to understand the problem if this 'confusion' is cleared.

Re: # 6

My reply relates to the unfair disadvantage MALES face at divorce, which many are unaware off.

Males rights is a bad word at the moment, and only remotely related to marriage (through gender bised laws), but the sooner they understand the concept, the better it is for them.

"Chowk is a man's place -- no unmanly women-bashers welcome here"

There IS no woman bashing in my post. How can 'protesting' against UNFAIR woman-biased Indian laws, be the same as 'woman bashing'? Please familiarise yourself with the new gender-biased laws in India. www.498a.org

It is nt funny really. Each time I try to write any comment on mens rights, it is simply deleted, or ignored at best. Wonder what strikes you as 'funny'.

Divorces in India are no easy affair for the male. Gender-biased laws have been made since recently by Renuka, a notoriously feminist minister. When a woman is angry at a man and wants a divorce, she usually lies, and makes false charges to have him and his family jailed, without appeal or bail. Domestic Violence is hyped by feminist groups internationally, but this too is not borne out by studies, which attribute equal violence to the female too. Blackmail is norm - alongwith the emotional trauma of undergoing a divorce. In a corrupt system like India , that means a pot of money, and social ostracisation too – mind you, for a young, growing, citizen of the country. Divorces should surely be made easier and simpler than this?

Alimony causes even more financial commitment on the young male – whatever for? For the ‘crime' of divorcing? Some say that alimony could be an invitation for a female to divorce – and even marry in the first place! Alimony is surely a thing for the past generation of divorces?

A word on feminism here may be in order. Feminists take media sympathy from ‘facts’ that are controversial really. For eg., let us take female feticide. In reality, four times more adult men actually commit than women! Is it because women cannot bear to see their daughters grow up anything short of a princess? And the gender ratios that are quoted in India , cannot explain the widespreadedness of feticide, because in some countries, the proportion of males is actually less! And yet, feminists continue to use the media to gain sympathy – sometimes using genuine reasons ( like minority female literacy for eg.), to get unreasonable gains.

To counter the menace of feminism, we hardly have a Male Right Movement going in India yet. In addition, it is not fashionable to the media yet. Male Rights in western countries have gained some momentum in the past few years, though.

Unfortunately, my previous post was deleted but, I will try to say again what I wanted to.
Todays males face a lot more problems with marriage than just psychological barriers/fears, as the author seems to suggest.

Divorce is no easy affair for a male. There are legal hurdles, gender-biased laws, and financial extortion awaiting the end of a marriage. And yet, marriages are breaking up as never before in history. Roughly half of all marriages in Mumbai are breaking up today. And most western males have already come to terms with a commitmentless life.
The male of the future may well have to think well over a hundred times before making his mind up on marriage.

The Power of Faith
Posted by parthaab Apr 29, 2008 11:47 pm

" No teacher, or parent for that matter, has ever taken the time to explain it to his or her ward what the Kalima stands for. "

Thankfully for the god-believers, no teacher or parent is even attempting to explain anything. If they did, they surely will discover a truth, entirely different from what they were trying to 'prove'. Religions themselves do not try to explain anything - not without reason.

What we need really, is anger-management courses alongwith moral science classes for the brain-washable age-group. God-believing is a medieval 'art of living' that lasted some 4000 years, and is rapidly dying out - rightly so.

" i think modern life is forcing us to review three traditions...
religion
nationalism
marriage"

Agree with you 100% there.

Feminism is a scourge of this century that needs to be studied too.
