Ignorant feminists & women in general rant 24*7 about how women are oppressed, unfortunate, backward, etc, etc. But they never mention such appeasement schemes running on taxpayers' hard-earned money.
From ancient times, India has been a gynocentric society. This is the only country where women are worshipped as gods. And with the current conservative government in power, this gynarchy has found full expression plus govt funds. Not just the current govt but the previous govt's also introduced such schemes to lure the female vote bank.
India is the only country where freebies play a crucial role in politics. That's the mindset of ordinary Indians. The most common argument given behind such appeasement schemes is that "They have been oppressed for ages".And who's paying for all these misadventures of our lawmakers?
The ordinary man, the middle class.
Don't forget India is among the top countries in terms of Direct & Indirect Taxes. Now few questions arise that is
- Was there state-sponsored oppression of women?
- Was the so-called oppression organized or unorganized?
- What percentage of the population was involved in that so-called oppression?
You will never get answers to that questions so let me tell you the answers.
- There was no state-sponsored oppression of women in India.
- No, that so-called oppression wasn't organized. (Crimes happen in every society)
- Less than 1% of people have all the powers in any society. And whoever has the power misuses that at some point in time against the people beneath them.
Inpsite of wasting billions of dollars in such schemes,
- Have women become empowered?
- Have they stopped begging for alimony?
- Have they stopped legal extortion?
No, nothing has happened neither will.
Because women want to monetize their gender. The majority of them want freebies & the rest of them want to grab power using their gender.
