ooo...here she comes...
Yes well, the title implies something more grotesque than the femme-fatale! But so is obviously not the case. In the battle of the sexes, some smart*** has found a perfect way of settlement and named it "Men Are From Mars & Women Are From Venus". Whatever happened to evolution, dude?! An even more incredulous fact about this "settlement" is that it is proposed by a guy!!!
I suppose everyone has a right to humor themselves, but really, human males and females are pretty much a different sub-specie. For one side to write about the other is as fair as chimps writing about orangutans! Again, one is entitled to one's opinion, but that opinion when reduced to such basal statement as to different people being from different planets is a big OUCH!
For one, differences between the sexes are just not to be laughed at. They are there for a reason...they are there because women have evolved to a point where they have started seeming different to men. Let us consider just about any other specie on the planet (preferable mammals, coz many non chordates seem hell bent on exhibiting cannibalism right after fornication!); males and females are pretty much alike. Behaviorally, anatomically and socially...males and females act as the same specie. But not the planet-dominating specie! No-no...we have to be different. And its not just enough that we are different from all the fauna, we have to be different from each and every specimen of our specie as well!
And so we come back to the real topic, the femme fatale a.k.a man-eater :D
Now that females have evolved to perfection, a metaphorical cannibalism is inevitable. Women are shining everywhere. When I was in school, it was the better CBSE pass % of girls... then when I was in college, it was the excellent intellectual finesse of girls over boys... and getting into the statistics of other things is simply mundane! Everyone knows, what a girl can accomplish, a guy can't (what with an incomplete chromosome :P)
The perfection isn't all... there has to be dominance accompanying it. Hence the femme fatale version of the fair folk, I am referring to. Of course, becoming a Black widow is not the way to be but grabbing every opportunity and getting ahead, surely is! Give all the 'Barney(s)' out there, a run for their money!!!
So all the single ladies (and ok, the married ones too) out there...don your fierceness and...
"make a lil love...live a lil life...get down tonight" B-)
since i believe in the scales sigh..literally..i think both of the sexes have the same mean but characterstic wise one may have points higher is sm and lower in other...and that makes them different...
ReplyDeletehi.. i disagree about the point where u say that girls outperform boys... girls do better when there is a fixed body of books to be study from for exams that are predictable( college, icse, cbse) but when it comes to performing in exams like CAT they are no match to boys... the 100 %ilers are repeatedly guys( with a few exceptions) and even in good b schools u will find that there are fewer girls than boys. I have personally seen a college topper in BBA perform dismally in CAT and she was a girl!
ReplyDeleteAs for the man who has titled the aforementioned book, i think it's a clever marketing tactic.
