This disdain game is both regrettable and funny
HYDERABAD: Of course, championing the cause of women is a welcome thing. Men should support women in their struggle to get their due rights and when they raise their voice against atrocities against women. But some so-called educated and modernised women are taking matters too far. Some women have stooped so low in their quest for cheap popularity that they are accusing their fathers of attempt incest and mothers of being facilitators. This kind of attitude is in very bad taste and is only aimed at attracting attention by making “startling disclosures” about their own parents.
Or is it like someone searching for his or her lost donkey and try to attract the donkey by braying like a donkey and on coming close to each other find that the other person is also a man or a woman. That is, those seeking cheap popularity get popularity only among cheap people like themselves.
Besides, some bold women are in the habit of showing disdain towards men, and some men too do this. So there are misters Disdain and ladies Disdain. Men and women should be courteous to each other. This disdain game is both regrettable and funny. Some people take offence when the thing said is boring even though the thing said is harmless.
