"Why should boys have all the fun...?"


Few years back, there was an advertisement with the tag line saying "why should boys have all fun" and i always used to wonder what fun they referred to. Our society assumes its pretty easy living a guy's life, i mean you can wear whatever you want to, you can go wherever you want to..at any hour whatsoever. For guys, there are no creepy opposite gender staring at you desperately and  trying to get into your pants. How easy it is for guys to have a normal life, right? That's the normal perception they have for a guy's life.
 
My question is, is it entirely true? Do guys really have such easy going lives? Honestly, NO! Being a guy is no less frustrating and irritating than being the other gender. 


Can our society accept a girl with no stable career? Yes.. Unfortunately they do. But can they accept a guy with no stable career?  


Can our society accept a girl who pursues her hobbies over a financially stable career? Yes.. They can. But do they approve such a guy? 

Does our society believe when a girl says that she's being molested? Yes.. They do (and they should obviously). But do they accept it when a guy puts the same claim? 



Does our society accept a girl who likes sketching over studying mathematics? Yes.. They do. But do they accept such guys with an open heart? 

We are a society wherein being a guy has become such a responsibility that the guy actually starts suffocating, living up to everyone's expectations, making all the right choices every time, no scope of committing a mistake because apparently you were born with a biological organ which differentiates your responsibilities with the other gender in the society. You are a man so you are supposed to do the right thing, always. You are supposed not to give up under any circumstances. You are a man, you are not supposed to be weak, you are supposed to take care of everyone around coz apparently you are supposed to be the hero. A father is the first hero of his child so he can not shed a single tear in front of his family. He is supposed to be strong who keeps the whole family together, no matter what. 

I never say that being a woman is easy, they have their own struggles in our society which can not be ignored. But the point is that everyone has their own struggles, regardless of their freaking gender. So if you think that boys have all the fun then i guess you have never seen your father closely. You have never known him and his struggles that he goes through everyday. So lets stop being a bunch of morons, stop judging people based on the genders, start respecting people regardless of their biological organs and not make the life of a guy any harder. 

"Obviously guys DO NOT have all the fun."
