Reverse Gender Bias?

I had attended many of the shows put on at the recent Saarang 2006 at IIT, and had thankfully been saved from most of the hustle of buying tickets, because it was quite a bit simpler for me. Because of this 'special' treatment, I seldom experience the problems of those who go in the 'normal' way.
   The Reason I called this post 'Reverse Gender Bias' is because at quite a few shows I had to enter the 'normal' way, and was exposed to the biased treatment offered. There were tonnes of policemen (and women), and all of them would jump at the slightest oppurtunity to accuse a male of harrassing a female. Because of this, many boys were dragged out of the waiting lines, (which sometimes stretched for about 100m) and had to go back to the end. On the other hand, the girls, who were the souls of gentility, got preferential treatment by the police and the IIT students who were administrating, and left us in the lines.

Of course almost all the girls who were there will disagree with me, but I'm telling you my point of experience.

For the past I don't know how long, there have been women's rights activists and other related political parties, lobbying greater rights for women. What I think is that in response to these claims, authorities have swung the other way, and actually upset what little balance they could get.

So now it is the men who must protest for their rights and equal treatment, until either everyone gets what they want (which is an impossibility) or nobody does (which is the most possible case, all things considered).

Another example is the new 'Single Girl Child' initiative by the CBSE. It's utter nonsense. In many cases, the families which are unable to afford education, are unable to do so precisely because they have many children to support. Moreover, there are many underprivileged boys who are not given the oppurtunity because they are boys.

Men's Rights Groups? Not yet, but it is coming...
