Chuvinism & The Indian-subcontinent

Very recently (just yesterday in fact), I was told by this one individual (Dara - a 26 year old male from Calcutta) to get my anger down or I shall be subjected to his rape. This was left in my comment box 32 times (which I individually cleaned up due to the ample time I have on my hands) :

' I'LL FUCK U 'BRUTALLY'??? so that U'LL GET UR ANGER DOWN!! '

Is it then a wonder why so many women in our rich-cultured-Indian subcontinent (or so the Western tourism tells me everyday) are regularly abused/raped/assaulted as a child, as a teenager and as a wife?

It is natural to blame lack of education for such acts (here in the west, crime of any kind is usually attributed to no education/under education and poverty). But lets not blame poverty for the reason a man would come home and beat/rape his wife, molest his daughters and assault his mother (he is more likely to stab someone and flee with their money as a result of poverty, this author thinks). Lets not blame lack of education/under education for such acts either, because you only need to see this 'Dara' example - who is in fact conventionally educated and holds a decent job APPARENTLY in the science industry and the mentality he holds to nullify that blame. So, what then do you blame for such behaviour?

Frankly, I have no idea. Perhaps 'Dara' can tell us. Perhaps 'Dara' can also tell us exactly why the thought of using sex to dominate over another person's emotions and their expression is so predominant in an Indian-subcontinental male. Perhaps 'Dara' can also answer exactly what kind of education he was given by his parents, his society and his educational institution. Perhaps 'Dara' could also be kind enough to enlighten everyone as to how he treats his family real life (I am assuming that he has a family and a life outside the walls of this Internet) - whether he rapes his wife at nights, molests his cousins and touches his nieces (and nephews - because these mentality people are usually not choosy - as long as they have their feel) inappropriately.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of 'Dara's in this world and what's even more scary is the fact that these 'Dara's roam around in the REAL world touching/molesting/raping/assaulting REAL women. While the 'Dara' in my case study might just be a mere coward in real life wanting to show off his male-dominance on the Internet domain, the real danger is out there - effecting many females all around the globe. It is not very nice to realize in the tenth grade that the things your uncle did to you when your breasts were just budding was in fact sexual abuse and that uncle just happens to be your favourite one- happily married (a subject still debatable) with a daughter of his own.

I am not a preacher. I am not a social critic. I am in fact nothing special. I don't say things that are new or revolutionizing. I merely try to put my observations into context. I am grateful because I have never really had to deal with 'low-life' males such as 'Dara'. I am grateful I have men in my life with whom I can discuss BBC programming, Germaine Greer, the social changes needed in Dhaka, Acoustic Alchemy, the weather etc.etc. I am grateful for all the men I had encountered with in the past- they have taught me a lot and a lot of my habits I've picked up from them (good habits .. not daily masturbation to pornography). It's a shame we have a lot of individuals like 'Dara' who defiles the male reputation and defiles the Indian sub-continent culture.

It is extremely sad and I never thought I would do something like this - but I was forced to enable comment moderation today. I guess it takes all kinds to make this world.

On a very very very happy note .. My 100th post is due soon and I'm planning something special. Not that it matters what I do with my 100th (with a readership reaching a measly four people) but still. Let's hope my spirits are up and of course it'll have to be after the finals. Three more to go, the wait is unbearable.
