his elbows lack scars
he has waggly eyebrows
his peers already boast of facial hair
gijo's dnt intrst him
no i wnt play in d rain - to lil guys braving d outpour
after much pleading ad pushng he goes out geared ina rain coat, long boots and a big black umbrella
d othr guys whisper among themselves and back away as if he has some contractable disease
he stands dere - all alone in d rain, looking at he receding backs
waits to check ifsomeone returns
none do
he walks bck - hunched shoulders, picture of dejection
heads straight to his room
speaks to none for days on end
parents confused, worried, consider takng him to a counsellor
mark changed in his nature
speaks at the top of his voice at all times - squeaky voice sounding high pitched
father's shaving machine is to be found nowhere, but b his pillow
all pocket money saved for male-ish toys
commanding attitude - making evryone laugh silently
puny lil guy commands???? u expect people to give him attention to? overexpecting i tell u
thngs gettng out of hand
highly confused parents seek professional advice
'MASCULINE PROTESTS' - dats wat 12 yr old vansh is going thru
this is nt some piece of fiction
many boys who have "out of d box" attitude to thngs are termed as feminine
and since it is so inherent in kids and grown-ups too guys are chided miserably by peers
d oubreak and sudden change in behaviour tht follows is termed scientifically as - 'masculine protests'
by most boys who hav difrnces in attitudes thn expected of dem
feminity is always seen as smthng secondary to masculinity
unable to take such insults boys respond in dis way
i am really sorry to write this
bt is feminine nature tht bad???
one sincere request to ne one who goes thru it - plz dont let ur children follow ideals which are very obiviously illogical
and if u believe in such notions - plz make an effort to change it
it wil make many lives worth living.....many lives wil b freed of d tag attached to dem of low and weak
i and so will be many others b really obliged
