Yes... we are intelligent and smart and beautiful!! And proud of it too! Not "arrogant" as you put it. And why shouldn't we be! You can't stand it when you see a girl more confident than yourself... and you call it arrogance! And you question our beauty! Well that's a lot to digest from someone like you. If you are so busy with all the little things that you do and you don't even have the time to bathe (or shave or get a haircut or change your shirt more than once a week)..... then we can definitely be pardoned for not having the time or patience to look like Christmas trees.
And what else? Too "career-oriented"? "Self-centred"? Well shouldn't we be? Aren't you? Nobody is going to give us jobs for our culinary skills (which might not be so good, but they are better than yours any day) . And we use you, do we? Stop being used, for starters. And secondly, hasn't a guy ever taken advantage of you "naive" nature? Stop generalizing. Live with it.
You say that you are much humbler than we are. We behave like "queens", do we? O well, you can't really afford to act like a king, can you? Unfortunately, we are heavily outnumbered out here by you guys and no girl is going to pay any attention to you if you start behaving like you own the world. So, for you, being nice is kind of the only option. And trust me, if the day ever comes that we outnumber you (I pray for that happy day) then your "niceness" towards us will decrease considerably. And then I am going to say "I told you so!".
In the meantime, try dating a guy.

ReplyDeletewe are above such condescending attitude and we have proved it at every point of our lives and will do it again and again :)
all said n done, u must admit that being a girl in kgp has its advantages..like an on-campus women's reservation! it's not your fault, it'd have been the other way round if the sex ratio were skewed on the other side..maybe u'll realize the problem when that "happy day" of yours arrives!
ReplyDelete@arja. Huh?
ReplyDeleteAn interesting shadow fight.. whatsoever..
ReplyDelete1. Arrogance does mean behave in a harsh and rude manner, I wonder if that have any relation with Confidence, which includes a necessary quality of well behaving with all the people.
2. For being used- Normal people do love to help and expects to be helped in exchange. Is it a very good practise to take help by others and never look back to them if they needed you?
3. For the same case. stop generalizing abt some bad habits of a few boys. Are all the girls that clean?
4. Behaving like a queen also brings a responsibility to be a well wisher to all,without explaining the options except you cite Marie Antoinette as a model.
5. I also hope for the happy day, because only then boys can also have an option to behave like a king as you have pointed out :)
Well said sunrita... and the "happy day" for u guys, will only come after you go around changing the whole society. Even we gals are also waiting to see the so-called "happy day", when we can sit and judge the handful guys in the campus... may be good for you guys... at least u'll have a chance to be the cynosure of all eyes ;)
ReplyDeleteI believe thats a very ordinary analysis . I expected better things on feminism to come out than comparing you with some idiot who hurt your ego .
ReplyDeleteAlthough I like the tone with which it started , but it would be better if it were something like Simone de Beauvoir's
I liked the topic discussed. Except for some 5-10 percent guys in K.G.P.; rest other guys do behave in the same way, atleast as long as they are in K.G.P.
