She met him.
She fell in love with him; and he with her. She wanted to spend time with him.
He did too. They were in a romantic relationship. After some time, he began
pulling away. She began pursuing him. He resisted. She persisted. They tried to
work it out. She tried different tactics to save the relationship. He began
slipping away despite that. She was torn to bits. He wouldn’t give in to her
advances. He had fallen out of love with her. She asked. He denied. She begged
and pleaded. He wouldn’t agree to continue their relationship. She became passive-aggressive.
And then she became needy. It didn’t feel right to him. She appealed to his
sympathetic side. He rejected those appeals. She wanted him. He didn’t want
her.
She didn’t
want to live without him. He withdrew
completely. He couldn’t handle her any more. He couldn’t tolerate her tears,
persuasion, anger, threats. She followed him around, showing up at his place of
work, his residence, his vehicle; his usual jaunts. He became allergic to the
sight and mention of her. She became increasingly desperate but was unable to
let him go. She was frustrated by his rejection. How could he have loved her so much at first and then turned away so coldly and so finally? She could not accept it. She contemplated being more
forceful in her methods so that he could get her message loud and clear -- that
she was not going to leave him and
that he owed her their relationship.
But then, nothing
worked.
He would now
have to pay for what he had done to
her. Her broken heart had a high price. She considered disfiguring him, but
that would require much strategic scheming. So she made up her mind. She knew
his whereabouts right through the day having painstakingly stalked him for many
days. She kept her weapon ready in her bag and prowled along his route hoping
to catch him and make him pay for the pain he had caused her.
She did it!
The media
erupted at this incident. The men
came all out on their twitter handles and facebook pages condemning not just
her and this incident, but they attacked all
women with vicious words. They broadcasted their hatred for feminism and bashed
all feminists. They alleged that this
was what feminism was about. So why
should feminists have voices? Why should they get any platform to speak and be heard? Why should they even be tolerated in society? These men targeted
each and every feminist they knew and let loose abusive comments. They flirted
with restraining orders and police action in their efforts to validate their
points against feminism.
They snarled
that in the name of feminism, women were getting away with even murder! These
men raged and ranted against womenkind. This
woman should now be punished in the harshest way possible so that all women learn
their lessons and cannot ever, get
away with stalking their lovers.
When a man
says no, he means no! A man’s personal space is sacrosanct.
Every gathering, every tea stall, every news channel gave voice for anguished
men to vent their grief. Every small and big injustice by women against men was
discussed.
PS - Pained Script.
Live in
Peace, all you pained, disfigured, once-physically-beautiful ladies. The acid splashed
on you by those vile men destroyed the life you were used to and you had to then
reconcile to a new existence filled with coping mechanisms.
Rest in Peace, all you slayed women. The men who
did you in could not take your NO for an answer. For, those villains did not
even mean to ask you what you wanted. They just meant to grab and
keep what they wanted and when they found they couldn’t do that, they showed
their scant regard for the human in womanhood.
