By reading some of posts here, it seems the way in which Arman said "Aurat ho, aurat ki tarah raho" was really offensive - though I did not watch it myself. However, in BB, I have more often seen the same problem the other way round. Some women participants talk very rudely with others. They scream at, rebuke and make insulting comments. But if any man replies back in kind, their answer is "Learn to respect a woman."
No one is condoning that. I am not in favor of being given any special respect only on account of my gender. It needs to be earned. That is what irks me in the stereotypical gentlemanliness and old world chivalry. On romantic dates, men are expected to pay bills etc. Really unfair.
But in the context of Arman's statement, just because some women play gender card unfairly doesn't give him license to berate and talk loosely about all womankind.Similarly "Be a man" is not always used in positive sense. Often this is used to mean that "Men should take up more of hard works. In any fight between a man and a woman, the man should apologize even if the woman is at greater fault." In BB, you will easily see that when a man and a woman contestants fight with each other and, even if both are at fault, people tell the man "Say sorry to her."
I haven't watched any such instance where someone who is at a greater fault has been said sorry to only on account of being a woman š Are we watching the same show?
People usually ask that person to initiate truce who seems to be the more understanding and mature of the two sparring opponents, be it a man or a woman.
