Is marriage a male convenience
or a female device for securing free board and loading or is it refuse for both
the sexes?
The whole institution
of marriage is a female arrangement to ensure protection and provision while
she rears her off springs. The male of the species is a wanderer and of course
he has to be so because on him rests the task of finding food. He goes on, “For
a man marriage is a trap, for the women its fulfillment”.
Virgin means,
literally? Man trap! How? “Vir” in Latin means “man” (from which we have virile)
and “gin” of course means “trap”-so man trap!
Women are inherently
possessive. Being a women means having this possessive strand inter woven with their
very nature. Woman is great possessor, first of her husband, then of her child.
Possession means longing for permanence, for an unchanging condition. Woman
wants the man to love her forever and ever. She deliberately shuts her eyes to
those terrible enemies, Time and change. Men and more realistic. They know that
all things pass. And yet it’s precisely out of this tension between the two
sexes that civilization has evolved.
Man pushes himself
from home and health in order to escape the shackles of wedlock. And so we have
travelers, wanderers, explorers-all men like Vasco De Gama, Amerigo, Vespluci,
Christopher Columbus, Herman Fernando’s cortes, Sir Walter Releigh. Francis
drake, Captain Scott, Hillary, Hunt, Tensing, the list is endless. So also with
the spiritual explorers, men like Buddha, Zoroaster, and Mohammad all travelled
widely before establishing their religions.
Given a suitable
opportunity men are potentially rapists likewise deep down women want to be
raped, through no sensible woman will ever admit this.
This is not too late
to seek a newer world
Push off and sitting well
in order smite
The surrounding
furrows for my purpose holds
To sails beyond the
sunset and the baths
Of all the western
stars, until I die,
it may be that gulfs
will wash us down,
It may be we shall
touch the happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles,
whom we knew.
And yet the pull of
woman is equally important.
Germaine Greer says,
“The penis is, by itself a relatively harmless and extremely vulnerable member.
The fact is, she goes on to say, “the vagina is constructed to deal with the
worst that the penis can do. Men are dangerous but penis is the least dangerous
part of them. Men do more harm with their hands, with their feet, with their
elbows with their knees. If this was not the case, then why women would hardly
submit when threatened with bashing, it is worst to be battered than to submit
to the sexual act; yet battery is a less serious offense than rape.
If the women suffer
from penis envy, the man suffers from penis-anxiety. He is constantly worried
about it’s size, its capacity to function, to perform.
Men love power and the
machine gives it to them in full measure. The car, the motorbike, the aero
plane and going back in time, the horse-all these are extensions of his
personality.
While men are
physically stronger than women, women are sexually their superiors. The brothel
is most decisive demonstrated of woman’s supremacy over man. A prostitute
patron spends in two ways. He pays more money and depletes himself while in no
way impairing her capacity for more.
It is true that the opposite sexes they attract and the physical intimacies do happen. Even the brutalities like rape, bashing etc also takes place but it only happens because the man is physically, mind it, only physically stronger than the counterpart. It is true that the penis is harmless until a brutal mind guides it. But then again men are weaker than a woman so you can say 10 men equals to one woman when it comes to the mind games and the mental strengths. Women they know how to be in the society of men but they do bend down either because it is easy to bring a woman in the centre stage and talk about her character or they love a man and don't wish to go ahead of him as she wishes to see him rise.
ReplyDeleteNow if I put across marriage then I'll say that it is a societies way to bring two people under one roof having sexual intimacies legally and then having a family so that the generation doesn't gets over. But these days and why these days the brutality in a wedlock is seen since ages. Even a woman who is becoming pregnant on regular intervals is subjected to brutalities by her husband and in there there is no such penis envy or insecurities are involved. The only thing that is involved is the man's possession over a woman and her body which he can use as he wishes. But then the woman she faces these as she is more devoted to the children born out of her and there is hardly any love in the relationship.
About the envy of the organ that will always be there in a woman as she too wants to feel the freedom a man has and why he is always in search for a new vagina. What is exactly found in there. more over the life a man leads, the way they always pose a freedom on their faces and roam about in every corner without the fear of being molested or lynched or raped has fascinated a woman time immemorial. But then again I feel that it is not exactly envy but an inquisitiveness that hops like a rabbit in her or flutters like a butterfly in her mind. Woman's mind is a place if kept on display will show so many colours and thinking processes so it is one of them where she secretly desires to be a man and lead a man's life.
What I have understood about a man and woman relation is simple, here I am quoting Germaine Greer, the writer of The Female Eunuch and the same writer you have quoted "All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women".
