Why’s it that a woman can go to any pub in this city all alone, but a man has to have a female companion to do the same?
Why’s it that a woman will be allowed (read preferred) to enter a pub in minimal clothing, but a man in shorts cannot?
This country talks about raising the status of women, but aren’t they already enjoying a hell lot of privileges to ask for more? (can’t resist mentioning the separate queues at the bill payment counters and how easy it is to get things done “her” way in any office!)
Nothing against the women and all the feminist views in this regard are absolutely uncalled for; just wondering if the “rules & regulations” of the pubs in this city will ever allow an Adam to not need an Eve to enjoy a drink in the evening, with the liberty of wearing what he wants to!(Oh, did I say Adam 'n' Eve?) ;-)

50 yrs dwn the line, we'll be talkin about the status of men in the urban society...or rather the lack of it...
LOL.precipitated by circumstances,eh? I am myself against these 'oh so stupid' privileges being givn to women...as if we made a special contribution in being born with a vagina.LOL
Poor men.LOL!
I've been wondering the same sice I've 'saw the world'.
Travelling in local buses in college time I was always the one to offer seats to elders, ladies, or the physically challenged... no matter where I was sitting. But when I had a fracture, I was quite often dislodged from 'ladies' seat' by 20 something chicks.
PVR allows a ladies handbag (size does not matter here), but guys can't carry ANYTHING.
We have ladies nite at pubs but no guys nite (though that won't be that fun ;) ).
Maxim is read by lotta females, but you are laughed off reading a Cosmo.
Gals cuddle and are friendly... Guys put a hand on the shoulder and they are gays.
Too much punishment for few extra inches of tissue.

@anonymous: datz wot a male's agony is, dat women r da preferred ones...n it shd not b abt gud luks; we are payin' da same fuckin price fr a beer as women are!
u cribbin about shorts? we wernt allowed once coz we were wearing flip flops. aarrgh. well thats besides the p(o)int and this post :p.
It's just that there ARE women who need certain advantages certain reservations like the ones from economically backward or orthodox families. And they need such reservations coz at some level the society needs to give 'em a push upwards and undo what it's been doing all these years.
@elusive: "some" women...not ALL! :-)
