Advantage Women !!!!! (Mood - Pensive)

Before I am termed one, let me clarify that I am no MCP. For those of you who know what the acronym stands for, would have already understood my point here (after all even I have an ass to save) and those of you who don't know the expansion of MCP, thank God !! that you dont.
Yesterday, it was the umpteenth time that the women's reservation bill was supposed to be passed, and as we all know now, it was indeed passed - into the trash though !! The news flash read Women's Bill - made a Joke.
The 1st two words caught my imagination " WOMEN'S BILL". Heyy when did the bill go to the woman, I wondered. Wasn't that always the birth right of the men, and of course you were being indecent if you thought of going Dutch.
And then I thought how advantageous it is being a Woman.
  • A woman needn't stand in a queue. You are legally/illegally (depends on whether you like calling the glass half filled or half empty) allowed to break it and get the job done before the men did it !! Huh ! So efficient. And when someone interrupts while you barge in, you have as well got the audacity to shout at him. After all women need a lot of exercise, what if its the vocal chord.
  • The office is such a cool place. Its strictly 8 hrs of complete entertainment. You can get the job done faster (find a few male friends, they are always there to help you). Uhh !! efficiency at its best and you have a point to prove that you are arguably the smarter race. And yes the 8hrs in the office still holds true. It gets really risky to go home after 6p.m until you have to go out with your B.F. Actually you needn't come to the office at all. Some one did a great job by inventing "WORK FROM HOME".
  • Ahhhh !! Its so cool to travel during the summers. Ya, Why not. There are always seats in the bus and entire compartments in the trains especially booked/reserved for you. BTW you don't forfeit the right to the other seats.
  • The husband dreads the wife. Well that is in the husband's gene, which is not in his control of course, and the gene acts best when married. And now you have so many ways. The husband in any case is a lone fighter because the "Right to Equality" doesn't hold here.

But yes we still need a Woman's Reservation Bill, because they(women) represent just 7% of the parliamentarians. Men, in the mean time, are staring from a distance wondering when would the right to equality truly come into existence and they can cheerfully say " Hail !! Men's reservation bill"

"All looks yellow to the jaundiced eye" - I am not currently affected by jaundice BTW.
