Feminist

Feminists in their zeal to see an end to male chauvinism would go to any extent. They are sore at the word `boycott’ to abstain from something. Hence they threaten print and electronic media not to use the word boycott since boy is a male. But the feminists are good at heart. So they supply to the media about half a dozen synonyms to ‘boycott’ free of cost. But this is not an end. It is only the beginning. It is widely believed or more widely feared that they have great plans with far reaching consequences. The day is not far off when they picket the Universities to make the Bachelor degrees applicable for males only since Bachelor is a damn male. Feminist will not rest unless they are assured of Spinster degrees instead Bachelor Degrees. Hence in future ladies belonging to women lib movement may be getting Spinster of Arts, Spinster of Medicine degrees from Universities, of course by their male superiors. But it is open to doubt whether they accept the degree `Spinster of Commerce’ as it has the overtones of a bad thing. There is every possibility of the writer of this small piece being bludgeoned by women chauvinists even for raising this controversy.  Women, though they are libbers they are beauty conscious. Many among them secretly feel that the word spinster means an elderly unmarried woman. Then what about a twenty-year-old beautiful libber? She may demand a Miss Arts or Miss Science degree from the University. But there is crisis again. The words Miss Arts or Miss Medicine are akin to the words of Miss World and Miss Universe. So Aishvarya Rai and Sushmita Sen and the like may be angry at the Miss Degree concept. Though the women libbers are dedicated to the core of their cause, in all probability they may not spear-head a movement for change of the masculine gendered word Master into the feminine one. … in post graduation courses.

Lastly, if a woman libber has to undergo heart transplantation, and the available donor is a man, the poor, male thing is ready to lose his heart but does the eternally warring woman accept?
