Rant / Vent
So okay, where should I start from. Well I have a friend from Pune, we were close and I also went to his house. He has a uncle who has a son (17) and a daughter (24). So the daughter is working in finance and she liked a guy from her office or something, but she never told that at her house because her parents are like ultra strict. Anyways, she was dating him ig and I guess they spent the night outside now and then, but one day some neighbouring aunty saw them on a bike together and then it was hell on Earth.
My friend's uncle made a huge commotion in front of everyone, and that too at 6 in the morning, woke up my friend and his family from sleep too. He was triggered because his daughter was doing "immoral" act and took the family's reputation down in the gutter and you know what. By 8 AM, the whole society came to know about this, the girl was traumatised, and as of now, she is like disowned by her family.
If you have read till here, thanks, the real problem starts from here. Remember the son? The guy is a grade A asshole, he is 17 but does all kind of stuff that even adults don't do, he drinks, goes to a Hooka bar, and also cheats and goes in questionable places with college guys. His parents and everyone in the family knows it, but you know what's the reaction of the father is? "Let him be, he is young and he has his needs, only thing I say him is to not make anyone pregnant". Yes, the guy is a total asshole, shit in studies, spends all his father's money, and still is adored by everyone, just because he has a penis and not a vagina.
The worst part comes is that the father has a business in construction, and the factory will go to his son. They didn't even think of giving the factory to their daughter, they even considered giving it to my friend, his nephew, but never his daughter because "she will marry and the factory will go to another family." The Uncle is a BTech graduate from Pilani, Aunt did BA in Economics from Lady Shri Ram College (never did a job though), but their mindset is from 18th century.
They are a close family, so they talked about the girl in the "family meeting", and they said how India is losing its culture and values, and Western culture is taking over, aka saying that her daughter's sex life = USA propaganda, while their son's nightlife = Mahabharata.
And this is the story of a family living in a posh locality in Pune, the village life in India is unimaginable. But I really don't understand the reason we are so r*tarded in our thinking. Why the family's reputation is always in a women's vagina, and men are literally free to even rape (if they do it correctly, that is without anyone knowing). Why education hasn't helped in uplifting the societal complex and why we are so backwards when it comes to our women.
Also not talking about the shit they share on family's WhatsApp, full day Modi Modi and how Muslims are taking away Hindu's daughter. I mean if the guy was Muslim, there would be honour killing and shit, and yea, he also asked the guy's name before asking anything else to the daughter. I really don't have any hope left in the country, when the old people are sexist and backward, and the 'youth' is also sexist, backward and have no self confidence or self respect. We will at least need 3-4 generation and a huge de-religionism from our country, because Hindus or Muslims, our scriptures are fundamentally sexist and sus. Sadly, western values regarding women are superior to our cultural values, individual freedom>>>family values always, and if it's not, then we are in the wrong.
TL;DR: Daughter has to take up all the shit from the family, while son is free to have sex and enjoy life, dual standard of the society and overall generalisation of sexism in India.
