I was just curious about this...recently the whole forum (including me) has erupted with anger at Yash shoving Aarti against the door. This is the second time he has displayed violent behavior against his wife, and that too in front of everyone.
Would you guys have reacted the same had Aarti ever shoved Yash or behaved violently with him? Sometimes, it seems to me that aggressive women are far more accepted in our society than aggressive men. Even in schools, if a girl smacks a guy people applaud her for being strong, and even the teacher turns a blind eye to it, but if a guy shoves a girl even by accident, he is given a suspension from school. I have seen this happen sooo many times in my life, and I was left having a sour taste in my mouth because if there is one thing i absolutely HATE, it is double standards. Why are women allowed to be abusive to men and applauded for it, whereas men are hated for being abusive to women?
Can anyone please explain this to me? And also leave your opinion on how you would feel if Aarti ever shoved Yash against the door. Would you honestly be as angry and hate her character, or would you applaud her. Tell the truth.
interesting point of view.
But i think u failed to point out one thing, the society does not and will not ever hail or applaud a women for abusing a man. They only do so when she stands up for herself. Etc when a someone (be it a woman/man) tries to misbehave with her...
in this cases, you cant call it a woman abusing a man, it's mere she standing up for herself. And the least we can do is appluade for her, cause honestly, no one comes forward much nowadays to help someone in trouble.
in the case of yash, aarti did not misbehave with him, she did not raise her voice/taunt him, yet he pushed her. Which very well translates into violence. But to be honest, as compared to palak's bday, this episode, I dont condemn Yash's behaviour, hopefully his anger is justified, but he just pushed her aside. He didnt physically want to intentionally hurt her.
But the very least he can do when his anger is subdued is to apologise to her infront of everyone, afterall, he insulted her infront of everyone as well.
p.s. double standards has been applied more to Aarti in PV than yash, like how everyone blames Aarti for everything eventhough its Yash who is angry. If yash makes a mistake, its aarti's fault. If aarti makes a mistake, out of the hse she goes.
