We often come across people describing woman as if
describing a good piece of steak; adjectives like juicy and delicious are
flying all over. Women mostly in Bollywood movies are often used as objects of
desire, entertainment and lust. I am not against Bollywood dances and movies I
love them, but its missing is acceptance. Accept that apart from the dance movies
they have more to offer.
This often makes me wonder if on a parallel universe if things
were done differently what would happen. What if two female cops were seen
enjoying their drinks at a male strip club instead of the given. Also, Bollywood
movies show item boys luring the audience with their laktas and jhaktkas. What
if there were anti-aging commercials for men who looked beaten down and
unappreciated by their woman due to the few lines of wrinkles that appeared in
their face. How would that be?
George Clooney is still considered a total babe regardless
of his white hair or his wrinkles but
you seldom find an actress with his given
that much of attention or appreciation over her looks. I am far too young to
justify that men get better with age, but what I can agree on is people are
more accepting of a balding man than a wrinkled woman.
Anti-aging creams adverts paint pictures that if you are not
wrinkled free the chance of you having a good relationship with your husband is
slim. So, yes you must hurry and grab that bottle of miracle for 99.99. Pay the
price to keep your man by your side. A wrinkle free wife is a happy one. A
woman is made to believe through these adverts that if you are aging which is
perfectly normal, you should be worried.
What if there was a different picture painted, where women
were also like wine or cheese, the older the better. So, are the anti- aging cream commercials really wrong or simply a subtle depiction of what really goes on most societies.
