Because They're Boys…

Mommy, can I take a cookie?

No baby, let your brothers eat first.

Why Mommy? Why can't I take it first?

Because they're boys.

----------------------------------------------

Mumma, I'm going out to play with my friends in the park.

No beta, you can't go alone.

Why Mumma? Bhayya always go play with their friends in the evening. And they always go alone.

Yes, they do go, but don't compare yourself with them.

Why?

Because they're boys.

----------------------------------------------

Mama, I want to go for my friends' get together at this caf.

No Neha. You can't go.

But why Mama? You let Bhayya go out with their friends. Even late at night.

There's a reason for that.

And what is it? Why won't you let me go but won't stop Bhayya?

Because you're a girl and they're boys.

----------------------------------------------

Neha, clean your brothers' room right now!

Why should I do it? They're the ones who dirtied it and now they should clean it themselves.

No. You have to do it, they won't do the cleaning stuff.

Why?

Because they're boys.

----------------------------------------------

Papa, I want to go abroad for higher studies.

No beta, you can't go.

Why not? Bhayya did, when they wanted to. Why can't I?

Because they're boys.

----------------------------------------------

Neha, you really shouldn't take this humiliation sitting down doing nothing. You should complain to the Principal about how those notorious boys behaved with you.

I can't.

Why not?

I just can't.

But why? I am your best friend, right? Won't you tell me why?

Because they're boys!

The woebegone state of a girls life. Not always true, but 90% of the times.

very well penned down Mari 👏

Loved it so very much. 😊
It's something so closely related to the scenario girls face day in & day out. It is an issue that is continuing to victimise Girls since ages. No amount of modernisation or revolutionary thinking has been able to give freedom to Women/Girls from the clutches of the thoughts of discrimination just because of Patriarchy dominant society we live in.
What is more upsetting is, that a woman too believes & succumbs to it & also directly or indirectly causes her own Girl to be pulled into the clutches of such Bondage of life just cause you're considered as the fairer sex just in titlle or naming but never given a fair chance to prove yourself nor having any benefits.
You know after reading this I am so glad & feel blessed that I am born in a family where this thought is not dominant, & My parents don't favour any Patriarchy or matriarchal school of thoughts ... but have inculcated That equality & impartiality is the way to deal with things either for rewards or for punishments. But I know there are Girls out there who have not been so privileged & become victims to such practices & thoughts and get bonded & captured into these dungeons of male dominated society fakely created by Men & propogated by some women...
Well written... small & precise but nevertheless hit the nail... & quite impactful 👏
Thank you for pening this down, & sharing here so all of us can be a part of this ... 🤗
