Two newspaper articles below show the reality of rape by women. Anyone in Indian government or legislature who is making laws only to protect women must be having their eyes closed, or waiting for a near and dear one to be sexually abused or raped by a woman, before they admit reluctantly to it. Interesting point is: the feminists always protest against making sexual abuse laws to be gender neutral. If the same logic was applied to murder statistics, then murder laws should be applicable only against males. Because in India, more than one lakh people are murdered every year and 90 % are male. More than two lakh people die in accidents and 85% are male. So if feminists’ logic of using statistics to push for gender biased laws was true, then laws related to murder should apply only to … [Read more...] about Rape by women, and why gender biased laws are evil
NCW is helping itself with taxpayer money, but just not helping women
Fresh news breaks about National Commission for Women’s wayward ways with taxpayer money: Audit raps NCW for huge backlog, spendthrift ways NEW DELHI: * Of the 12,895 complaints that came to National Commission for Women (NCW) between 2008-09, only a little over half (7,509) were addressed. Of these, only 14% could be disposed of. Conclusion: The words Accountability and NCW should never be used in the same sentence. * Out of the 22 NGOs or individuals that were given grants worth Rs 22 lakh for research projects, 15 have not even submitted an interim report. Conclusion: What a women’s NGO does with taxpayer money is nobody else’s business. * Mandatory requirements like jail visits to assess living conditions of women have not been made for the past 4 years. These … [Read more...] about NCW is helping itself with taxpayer money, but just not helping women
Fake Taliban video to demonize men?
Sent by Stan Rains: For those who recall the international furor over the video of the Taliban publicly whipping a girl for being seen in public with a married man, http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2009/apr/02/swat-valley-flogging , it has been recently announced after a criminal investigation that the video was a fake. An NGO or private group with a special interest created the video and paid all present who participated in the event, including the girl who is supposedly being whipped. I am not defending the Taliban, I am addressing the lack of truth and balance in reporting gender issues. The video was meant to wrongly demonize men. It was presented as truth of abuse of girls by men with the intent to stir emotions. It is propaganda. The video is a lie. It relies … [Read more...] about Fake Taliban video to demonize men?
Mulayam Yadav cites danger about males missing in parliament
I was pleased to note that the danger of males being left out of parliament posted on this blog a while ago is now being voiced by Mr Mulayam Singh Yadav. He deserves some respect for this because there are very few politicians who are doing straight talk about provisions of WRB which are a clear infringement on Indian men’s constitutional rights. So it seems that the message about ills of present women’s reservation bill are spreading and politicians are not afraid to voice them. http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_women-s-bill-won-t-let-a-male-be-elected-to-lok-sabha-mulayam-singh_1362475 He said not a single male would be elected to the Lok Sabha 10 years after the bill comes into force and advocated quota for the fairer sex within political parties. "Once the bill comes … [Read more...] about Mulayam Yadav cites danger about males missing in parliament

How to frame questions in RTI application!
Really good joke sent by someone… those who file RTI applications will get the moral of the story. Jack and Max are walking from religious service. Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying. Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?" So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I smoke while I pray ?" The Priest replies, "No, my son, you may not! That's utter disrespect to our religion." Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him. Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try." And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I pray while I smoke ?" To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all means. You can always pray whenever you want to." … [Read more...] about How to frame questions in RTI application!
