International Woman's day

Its a day for the propogandists to further their "cause" - what exactly that may be is left open to interpretation - preferential treatment, sops, reservation, freebies. Pile it on, I'm in minority, and I want to make the most of it!
So we have an "International" Woman's Day - as in not national or pan national or SAARC, but "International". When there is a desperate need to highlight the plight of women in backward socio-economic conditions, the agenda get hijacked by non-self made rabid feminists, women who got rich through bequeathing the family crown, socialites, models and a pot pourri of high-flying bimbos.
The greatest victory for men worldwide from the bra-burning "liberated" feminists of yore, proclaiming sexual independence was much more than ages of partiarchy could ever achieve for them. When women screamed the shrillest that they don't want to be judged for having multiple sexual partners, men had hit the proverbial jackpot - every woman who wanted a booty call, could just call on a man, "More power to women" sniggered men.
There are major women issues in this country, which are attributed to rabidly patriarchial backward (emotionally, not just financially) attitudes, that need to be broached, brought out into the open and stomped out
1. Female infanticide, foetecide
2. Lack of financial independence which hurts independent partner selection
3. Trafficking of women
Over-priced bimbos on bollywood silver-screens who charge over 5 million rupees for vulgar dance numbers that serve no purpose than to tittilate audiences are the worst ambassadors for women. Such women cannot claim discrimination, its ironic, since the very demand of the business is something akin to flesh trading, and it would be best that they either do something positively for their backward sisters in the country or just stop paying lip-service.
Attitudes towards women will never change due to socio-biological factors. It is not that a man chooses to be a chauvinist, as much as an independent woman chooses to be a feminist, and no matter the development strides we make as a civilization, we are still slaves to our animal instincts. Animals in nature carry out gender roles, so how are we any different. The solution to the problem lies in accepting and catering to differences, not trying to force stereotypical templates of neutered & sterile manhood on the not-so-fairer sex.
