Re: # 13
That is all you worry about, feminists who are supposedly destroying the world. Why? Are you so afraid women will rule the world?

Re: # 12

The only kind of propaganda I see is the kind aimed at making males sleep deeper and deeper.

parthaab baitay,

When I look at you baitay, I see a restless hindu yearning to become a muslim. You've come to the right source. Your days of anguish and worry are over.

My wives and I are always on contract baita. If we get unhappy with each other, and we often do, we move on, and choose other partners. Wouldn't you prefer that to bonfires, baita?

when you ask about the wives leaving with bountiful wealth, your hidden heart is assuming that it is I that is bringing the wealth, and not the wives.

Verily, your mullah is pious indeed and needs not work for wealth, it comes to him.


I remain, your humble master

your mullah,

Maulana Toofani

Re: # 9

mullah,

I assume that all four women are your wives with their full and express consent? And that they all intend to happily remain as such? And not walk away with a bountiful of wealth if they become unhappy with the way you treat them?

Re: # 4 aaendra baitay,

I am glad you asked why men are considered superior...

This is more of a pessimist optimist type of thing. While some muslims see india overflowing with almost a billion kafirs, I see them as a billion wonderful conversion opportunities.

With a gaze I melt the kidney stones and relax the heart arteries, with a smile I win battles, with a whisper I create a stampede of infidels towards the mosque to seek salvation.

I am an optimist, you see.

I am a feminist at heart. I love women. I am a card carrying muslim and am always married to 4 women at any given time. Therefore, I cannot say a bad word against God's most wonderful creation.

Yes, you heard me right: 4 wives, and they don't have to be permanent. Imagine the joys, and then head for your nearest mosque.

Verily, God works in mysterious ways.
I remain, your humble master

your mullah,

Maulana Toofani

Re: # 1
So typical of men to talk only of Men's rights and the injustices faced by them and a such a long diatribe. Thank you for the explanation but reality is very different.

Re: # 2
Mullah Sahab your observation is absolutely right but I guess language has failed me again here. What I meant to write was that the very reason I was trying to pacify her was wrong which I realized in midst of the conversation. Yes the soul does not have a gender then why are men considered to be superior beings if at one level all are the same?

The patriarchy is catagorically wrong .. in as much as it is the root of capitalism .. having said that .. feminism is non consequential .. being a mere reaction and an ideology founded in creating meaningless positive-discriminations and mere stop-gap solutions.. but no actual remedies.

Pranay baitay,

In your effort to pacify your sister, you ended up aggravating her even more.

You see, only those in power can attempt to pacify the oppressed by showing the oppressed "don't worry, I'll keep you off the list"

Baitay, have you ever considered that physical manifestations are just illusions? The soul has no gender?

I remain, your humble master

your mullah,

Maulana Toofani

Chowk is not the first, or only, website, that does not allow opinions against feminism to be expressed. The media in general, is extremely pro-feminism biased. But it is not only the media, even the general public is unaware of the existence of male rights. 'Male Rights' is a bad word today.

At least, this article is an involuntary acknowledgement of the existence of a gender biased viewpoint in society.

For the uninitiated, laws in India have been twisted to favour the females - 'who can do no wrong'. There are some who do not know of this, some who would not believe this, and some who refuse to acknowledge this.

If a boy refuses to marry a girl he has had sex with, he can be tried for rape! Can you believe that is a recent LAW in India? Males are supposed to be liars, and perverts, while women simply speak the truth! All this, while stats prove that 41% of rape claims are untrue!

A married man can be sent to jail with his family, sheerly on 'complaints' by the wife, without an iota of evidence! Do you know that? For those who do not know, have a look at www.498a.org.

Domestic Violence laws are written specifically for women alone! And the Womens Ministry in India, has a budget of 33000 crores! Put in perspective, that is equal to the budget for education in India today!

While male 'rights' are absolutely unheard off!

No one cares for the high suicide rates among males - some 4 times more. Or for the fact that they have far less life expectancy in the west. Not even - and especially not even - men themselves! Men carry on with gender casteism with almost a sense of pride! Poo - poohing at any mention of the need to fight for their own rights!

Anti dowry laws are made specifically targetting males - though dowry is the females problem - with roots in dense and opaque, female inheritance laws. Mukesh and Anil Ambani have not split their family wealth with their own sister. But why are the feminists not active here?

At divorce, males are supposed to pay for their ex-wives, in a medieval, obnoxious, practice called alimony - that is also both cause and effect of divorce, and has origins in times when marriages were 'irrevocable'! All this, while stats show that females initiate divorce 70% of the time!

And that 'social' feminists encourage divorce among females. Leading feminists who make laws that encourage females to use such laws to 'teach' the male a lesson, are actually encouraging her to divorce. There is no punishment for such activities, and yet, these iconic feminists are only 'failed' women. Invariably, the leading feminists in India, have problems in their own families.

Why is there such a lack of awareness of male rights?
For eg., the railways allows a 70% discount on tickets for elderly grandma, while her husband get 20% less! In any Indian family, the old man would have worked his life, and sacrificed his livelihood, for this same woman - and yet at old age, he is still supposed to be the loser! Is this forced 'male chivalry'? Does 'chivalry' exist in the female dictionary?

Why are there no gender equality laws in India (or in Europe), that check female domination of jobs? Even in India today (and in Europe), 70% of well paying BPO jobs and medical seats, are taken by women! And why are males not even asking for reservations in jobs like air-hostesses or nursing? Are they simply unaware, or too afraid to ask?

Why are boys doing badly in schools compared to girls?Is it because feminist teachers actively encourage female students with a vengeance? It is because there are no male rights groups in India, as opposed to the thousands of well-sponsored feminist grouping. Recently, two male servants of the Aarushis were jailed, while the father went scot free because of feminist pressure. But where was the male groups here?

Males need to awaken to their rights. If they do not, their sons will face the music one day. For those who agree, all I say is, do not sit quietly and let an injustice pass by. ESPECIALLY if it has the potential to be done to another person.
