Women Power-WCP

Oppression of women, equality of sexes, women’s lib (eration) and what have you. There is so much talk about injustice being done to women ( all of which I agree with) why not talk about the innate power which most of the women can and do yield. It is literally in your face and we never talk about it (I know it may leave you speechless but some one has to speak about it some time and this time it is me) it is the Cleavage Power which all women yield. One can easily say it is more of a western phenomenon and not so much true in India but my experiences suggest that things are fast catching up (or shall I say hem line is fast going down).
So what is this Cleavage Power all about? When do when women use it? Why do they use it? What can we men do to fight it? Well let’ start with the dress, these days ladies dress is shrinking from both ways – top and bottom. While it is their right to wear what they want, I just want to ask why is it not the right of guys to see what they want? A recent e-mail discussion we had amongst a close group of friends was about this photo of a few Indian cricketers staring at the carelessly exposed mid riff of an Indian cricket fan. All the ladies in the group were gaga about a senior player who choose to ignore it while the young lads in the team were ogling away to glory oblivious of the paparazzi. My only question is that when the girl has all the right to wear any kind of dress she likes, why cannot the guys look at what they like? Why is it unethical for the guys to stare at the same areas which the girls want to expose? Is it some kind of exam or quiz or a challenge? I believe it is this right to behave in this unethical manner and then use it to your benefit should be called as Cleavage Power.
Women use this as the last line (pun intended) of defence when they feel they are not getting their way they just yield the power (how it is yielded is left to readers imagination). What can men do? Well to be fair Men cannot go Scot free in this power game, they have time and again shown their vulnerability to this kind of Power. This dates back to mythology when one of the dancers from Lord Indira’s court was sent to Earth to break the meditations of a saint on Earth. I feel it is time for the men to accept and play this power game. The Art of war clearly says that draining your opponent’s strength is one way to victory. So I would suggest that we men let women yield the CP and let them think that they are successful in it and once their powers are drained we continue with our regular work as if nothing has happened. The next time a woman calls a man MCP, we have a response-stop using WCP.
