My involvement with a co-blogger's struggle forces me to write this, not out of concern, but out of regret, that "man"kind can stoop down to levels in history which believes in only one agenda, the lady in red..

Lady in red : Can be defined as
(1) The most lovable creation nature came up with..i have my own lady in red :) and therefore my first acknowledgement will go to this form of the lady i see every minute, even tho the blog is not meant to portray this.
(2) The ever angry lady forced to succumb to man's whimsical needs and fancies, boiling inside, but with no reprieve from physical and mental torture, which again is not the essence of this blog even though the reason of vent is a corollary of this.
(3) The ever bloody attitude of man, to portray every drop of blood in history due to a woman, and every sin related to a woman, this being the essence of this post..
A Brief history of time..
(a) "
Sex was considered the special province of women, and in the medieval mind women were the carnal, lustful ones, while men were the spiritual ones victimized by their temptations. After all, they were the descendents of Eve. In art, the asexual beauty of the celestial angel was best represented by a young boy. The Victorian idea of the delicate, sexually naive "angel in the home" did not exist. The double standard certainly did though -- a women's honor resided in her sexual exclusivity. Married men were constantly afraid of being cuckolded, and seemed to think this was almost certainly to be expected, given women's voracious appetites. A lot of this, to our eyes, is certainly men projecting their own desires onto women, and blaming women for their own actions. The idea that a raped woman had invited it was certainly common (even Montaigne expresses this view). Christine de Pisan, writing in the 15th century, argues quite touchingly that this is not so, but her voice was a rare one.(b)
Prostitution was another option for independence for women. In the earlier years of the 16th century it was not uncommon for a town to support a municipal brothel, as a way of containing possible public disorder. n a public brothel she had protection from abusive customers, food, shelter, and medical care. On the street, she had none of that. An ordinary prostitute's life, out in the public space with no man to protect her, made her vulnerable to violence and disease, not to mention periodic social persecution. (c)
One cannot discuss the history of women during this time without discussing the craze for burning witches. This is a trend which seemed to have been seriously fanned by the printing press. The publication of the witch hunter's guide, the Malleus Maleficarum (Hammer of Witches) at the end of the 15th century and its popularity in print probably caused a great deal of harm. Enlightened Renaissance scholars like Jean Bodin wrote seriously on the subject of witches, and few philosophers found any conflict between science and magic. Witch persecution is a subject that deserves a huge amount of historical examination. It is clearly a social force directed against women, who comprised the overwhelming number of victims, but what this means about the pressures the society was feeling isn't clear to me.(d) Our own scriptures :-
Manu VIII.416 " A wife, a son, and a slave, these three are declared to have no property ; the wealth which they earn is (acquired) for him to whom they belong." Manu V.148 " In childhood a female must be subject to her father, in youth to her husband, when her lord is dead to her sons; a women must never be independant." Manu Smrti IX.3 " Her father protects (her) in childhood, her husband protects (her) in youth, and her sons protect (her) in old age; a woman is never fit for independance." Manu Smrti V.164 " By violating her duty towards her husband, a wife is disgraced in this world, (after death) whe enters the womb of a jackal, and is tormented by diseases (as the punishment of) her sin." Manu Smrti V.154 " Though destitute of virtue, or seeking pleasure (elsewhere); or devoid of good qualities, (yet) a husband must be constantly worshipped as a god by a dutiful wife."Today's World..

Why are you a feminist? Feminism is nat gud fer our women. Feminism causes wars, causes other problems fer women who want to work, it also causes rift in family, because women want to work, leaving males to do suicides, it causes psychological problems in marriages, and it makes women divorce men, leaving child as orphan.
In every religion, in some form or the other we have and continue to persecute and accuse women of deeds, and for someone like me who has met the most beautiful women, and in a relationship with one who deserves as much credit i can give her for a lifetime and more, I dont know what i can say, but i do know what i can do, regret my history...and work towards my cause, until then this layout is surrounded with apology to the lady in red..
