the infamous BB show is towards the end of its 3rd week and ample of genuine and synthetic controversies have made sure that the forum is full of activity with tens of topics created on daily basis.
Each of the topics, discuss, dissect, support or protest the different actions of the housemates while calling out the double standards, stereotypes, generalisation that is employed in the show.
but like BB represent the microcosm of the big society, so does IF represent a microcosm of the differing values and opinion of members of this forum.
A lot of us are seen making topics, or commenting in topics using words like acting like a man, be a man, sher nahin sherni, gossip karne walli aunty, chugalkhor aunty.
While we are busy dissing and calling out BB housemates over their double standards are we not showing deplorable standards ourselves.
What makes people think being a coward is female trait? That because aarya acts like a coward he should be called a female? Are you not insulting the women in your house, your mother, your grandmothers yourselves by saying being a coward, gossiping and bitching are purely feminine and if one does not do it, one is a MAN else one is a female?
In big boss it has been seen, man or woman , irrespective of gender, people indulge in gossip. When something sane and smart is done, it can be done by a man or a woman.
both pritam and praneet stay relatively unaffected and do their rask. But so did Minnisha in the second task, where she was a superlative captain, leading and supporting her team.
Biggest Gossip of this season is Punit Issar. Not just Gossip biggest idhar ka bat udhar karne wallah is also Punit Issar. Why say he is behaving like a woman when he is essentially expressing a personality trait that is very Punit Issar.
I think in our bid to create entertaining posts, or making our point, we are not only subscribing to regressive notions but are actually propagating them as well.
Any person can be sane or cool or normal, or eccentric or drameebaaz or coward and gossip. It is not gender specific.
While calling out the mahila mandali of this group for misusing women's right, please do not abusive the actual idea of equalism.
