Man's Fate: The View from India

In India, they are not (yet) inhibited by political correctness. I received this lament (edited for clarity) over the transom from an Indian email group:

When a girl cries -- the world consoles her. But when a boy cries -- they say, “Come on, be a man.”

If a girl slaps a boy -- the boy must have "done something." If a boy slaps a girl -- the rascal doesn't know how to properly respect a woman.

If a girl talks to boys -- she is "very friendly." If a boy talks to girls -- he is "flirting."

If a girl meets with an accident – it must be the mistake of another. If a boy meets with the same accident – he doesn’t know how to drive.
