Is it really a 'happy' Women's day?

So while all the women around me are taking pride on their being born as a woman, I'm feeling I would've been safer had I been born as a cow.. Because we live in a society where slaughtering cows is a punishable offence, but molesting,sexually assaulting and killing women is cool.. Any attempt at trying to bring to light these injustices against women are swept under the carpet.. I'm talking about the ban on the screening of the controversial documentary which talks about the brutal rape of a girl in a moving bus in Delhi.. Its been over 2 years since that infamous incident but watching this documentary still sent shivers down my spine.. And I found it appalling that the defence lawyers came up with such crass remarks about what women should be and how they should behave.. To both the lawyers.. Please take this personally.. You are assholes and I wish someone took you to their farmhouse and put petrol on you and burnt you alive, along with those people you are defending.. It made me sick watching this documentary in which the convicted rapist gives a detailed account of how they went about the whole thing.. He shows no remorse, no fear and ends by saying that should they be hanged, men will become bolder and wont hesitate to kill the woman after raping her.. In this case they atleast spared her life.. Well,not really.. Considering that she died due to her serious injuries inflicted by those monsters.. I just cannot believe the remark this rapist made.. Someone please tell me why Hammurabi's code of law is not applicable in today's world when a man on the death row feels no remorse at having brutally assaulted a woman that ultimately resulted in her death.. Please explain to me how that juvenile involved in this rape gets away with this heinous crime with just 3 years in a juvenile home?

To the defence lawyers.. I want to tell you something.. On your take about women following Indian Culture.. I agree with you.. And I will teach my daughter modesty and good behaviour, not because that's how a girl should be, but that's how a good person should be.. And because good manners can never go out of style.. I will teach my daughter to cook and to keep a house not because it's a woman's job to do household work but because her mom and dad are not going to be around forever and someday she has to learn to be independent.. But what I will not teach her is that it is wrong to wear jeans.. Or that it's wrong to have male friends.. Or go out with them..or that it's wrong for her to have an occasional drink when she's of the eligible age.. Because those are things that she will have to decide for herself.. She is an individual and at some point in her life will want to make those choices for herself.. I will teach her that the freedom she longs for comes with a sense of responsibility.. And as soon as she learns to take responsibility for her actions she can have all the freedom she desires..

My question to you and all the male chauvinistic pigs out there.. Will you teach your sons that a woman's place is not in the kitchen and her job is not jus limited to raising kids and cooking for the family? Will you teach your sons that just because a woman is dressed in a particular way or enjoys an occasional drink or a smoke doesn't mean she's free game and is asking for it? Will you teach your sons to respect women???

Women will be totally liberated only when we don't require a day earmarked to tell half the humanity to respect the other half of humanity because they're 'special' and through rest of the year subject this 'special' class of people to all sorts of atrocities.. That will be the day when every woman can take pride in the fact that she's a woman.. That day will be a Happy Woman's day..
