Since a long long long time, men have been living in a perception (ofcourse created by feminism) of a Men’s World. And just like any other perception created by one group or the other, there’s always an undercurrent that sweeps the reality from below your feet.
The fools that men [...]

There are hundreds of lonely women in the prime of life seeking to apply their libido
Mary Kay Leturno, 34, a secondary school teacher from Washington, the daughter of a family relations advocate and an ultra-conservative deputy representing California, the divorced woman having two children was sentenced to seven years in prison. Why? The prosecution states that the woman seduced a male student from Samoa who was 21 years younger than she. But the woman insists that she fell in love with the young man and he returned her feelings. Luckily, the story ended quite happily, and the woman was pardoned. The couple got two children. The second baby was conceived after Mary had been sentenced to three-month imprisonment and six months of rehabilitation at a Treatment Center for Pedophiles. The story is quite simple. If the boy looked older Mary would have never guessed she became a pedophile. Today, there are hundreds of lonely women in the prime of life seeking to apply their libido. 
In Georgia, the affair of Lisa Linnet Clark, 37, has been the talk of the day for several months already. At first, the woman became a mistress and then a fiance of a 15-year-old relative of a friend of hers. The boy was friends with Lisa’s teen-age son and visited her home. It happened so that the woman and the boy began to have secret dates that supposedly lasted for two years.
When the woman got pregnant the young man was perfectly honest and wanted to keep the baby and marry the woman. According to the laws of the state, there will be no age restrictions if one of a couple is underage and the couple will soon have a baby. But the boy’s grandmother was incredibly indignant at the affair and became deeply disappointed with Lisa. Indeed, the grandmother had found Lisa so nice before when the woman offered to take her grandson to the skating rink, to the cinema or just for a walk. The furious granny accused the young woman of pedophilia, and Lisa was sent to prison.

Let me get this straight. All those nice folks, convinced that reserving seats for women in Parliament will be lovely for womankind are celebrating because 33 per cent of the total number of seats are now on their way to being block-booked for women? Man, that’s like winning the 1947-48 war against Pakistan and patting each other on the back for getting to keep half of Kashmir.
Frankly, if the Women’s Reservation Bill is about fixing the minimum number of women in Parliament (and across state assemblies) according to the number of women who make up the country’s population — 48 per cent, going by the latest headcount — the zenana of one-third seats seems to fall way short. If it was about real arithmetical representation, the magic number wouldn’t have been 33; it would have been 48.
Okay, so 181 is going to be the minimum number of women MPs in the 543-member Parliament (1,370 being the minimum number of women MLAs in the 4,109 assembly seats strewn across the country). And with bigwig, tried’n’tested ladies like Sushma Swaraj and Jayanthi Natarajan able to hold their own in unisex constituencies and not wishing to ‘waste’ their parties’ precious ‘female electoral fuel’ on reserved seats, the number of women MPs in the 16th Lok Sabha should actually be in the range of 190-200.
So women will now not only fight for seats against general category men and SC/ST men as in the past, but they’ll also contest rotating constituencies against only fellow women Venus-Serena Wimbledon-style.
