I guess you know my stand on it. I hold very strong views when it comes to women. But I prefer the equal rights to be a normal deal than a charity or concession. That is not how nature made us, and hence no one has a right to discriminate.
Now when I talk about equality, it is not only about entitlement. But also about how to conduct as well. Being a low life with no self-respect and giving into any crap, especially when one has the means and sources to walk out and lead a good and respectful life is a choice and I detest that choice.
P has enough resources to restart her life. But she chooses to act as second fiddle and beg for love of someone who can never love her. Someone ready to survive on the crumbs she is snatching when she can lead a respectful life is beyond me. They say "Apni izzat apne haath mein hoti hai". P does not even have a self respect.
So I don't pity her. I won't hold anyone responsible here. It is a choice she is making here to be in such a relationship. As an educated, liberal, woman she should have held her self respect at utmost priority. But she literally squashes it under her feet. Why does such a woman demand sympathy? It is a choice she has made, and such woman make it difficult for others who are fighting day in and out.
I would rather save my sympathies for the ones who are stuck and leading pathetic life, because they don't have the means or choices.
P does not fall into that category.
She clearly sees the man she supposedly claims to love is in love with his wife/lover. Has always knows it that he can never love her. Yet she waits for the fake praises and promises to soothe her obsessive mind. Still she is running after him, screaming at him, accusing him, begging him. What kind of a woman is she?
