Women's Corner

You never corner a woman. If you do and if God exists, only he can save you. Or perhaps not even him. In the long years of insecurity in women’s history, there are a few fun facts.

Women were never treated as equals in the history, save recently, let’s say the past hundred years perhaps. But they had a very strong hold over minds of men. But that hold was limited in the sense that they couldn’t really argue with the breadwinner. It was customary in “those” times that men worked to earn and women looked after the house. Now there was this paradox that restaurants served food in exchange for money and not vice-versa. So the woman suffered from a lack of leverage.

So the dominance of men continued to prevail and women were divided into two broad categories:

The ones who were pampered and the ones who were abused.

The man who pampers a woman can be of two types. Either he loves her too much or is just using her as a tool for his lust and convenience.

The person who abuses a woman can be only of one category and I don’t want to discuss about that. That is a complete different chapter involving violence, and should be dealt in other ways. We can, but, discuss about the kinds of non-violent ways women are being treated by men.

In “those” times stubborn women were either abused like a slave or pampered like a child.

But in these times when women are treated as equal, they are seldom abused. They are either pampered or challenged by rational argument.

Well, we all know a woman likes to be pampered.

Now, what about the person who corners a woman in an argument? Perhaps he is the one who treats her as an equal and worthy of a discussion, and finds pride in beating an equal opponent.

Ironically, he is the one who suffers the most.

It’s up to the woman, what she wants, go back to “those” times or find pride in being fairly and equally challenged?

P.S.: I believe women have a rational mind, but they don’t want to expose it. If they can have an edge in a relationship by pretending to be irrational, why expose their sense of rationality and let go of all the benefits their irrational whims serve them?
