A sight of a hanging board displaying 'Unisex Salon' confused me literally when I saw it the first time years back , for when word 'Uni' means one or single, I wondered why the owner of the board and its corresponding store has not mentioned the gender they would be serving so that I could know and everybody else too ,if me and they are suitable to get in or not.
While actually, the word connotes a meaning different from my first impression of it and opposite to what it sensed like to me.
And the real meaning covers both sex under it, serves either of them, not differentiating on the basis of gender.
So I just thought that its not just salons which must hold on to use this word unisex as one prefix , schools also can do that and so can do some public toilets.
There are then some unisex names as well. Sidney sheldon, Ayn Rand , the first time I heard about these people I googled out to see their sexuality. Then names like Harpreet, Gurpreet, Chandra are also some.
So the word 'unisex' exclaims a complete uniformity among the two sexes and abstracts their sexuality in catering the offered services.
Aint I kidding much today ?
Actually yes ... actually not ...Because to me , it gave me a deeper insight into the concept. I thought of holding this thought in me for a while and understand if it could be implied to the perception in reality which our society hold for two genders.
Contesting elections is biased.
Reservation is being asked in Parliament for women.The need arose for such actually and there are some plain reasons to it.
A right to live is biased.
Female infanticide has swept off girls turbulently.
Holding dignity and freedom is biased.
Molestation and rapes and eve-teasing.
A separation clearly stands between, obviously in knowledge of everybody, which really has made things to stink and stopped growth upwards.
Unfortunately our society is not a unisex society and the word holds its literal meaning for this society more than its abstract one.

1) ask from the males who have been put behind the bar falsely in fake dowry cases in 498a, which supreme court acknowledge as mostly rampant
2) truth is sometimes more harsher 'than it seems'. Here are some examples:

B) forget that cozy cozy soft aspects of women who can do nothing against men and fellow women:

wanna more.. list is endless
just ask from the males who have sufferred, they can not even cry , which girl victims can atleast do.
one last question, if 'all girls' are always and essentially so soft and innocent, then why does word 'male gigolo' does exist.
essentially there can be bad girls and boys and good girls and boys. The guys can have and do have right to be treated with decency as much as girls. And they too suffer a lot.
by bringing politician who are woman, we are bringing the same lot of politician who are men; for example Mayawati, jayalalita etc are already one of the worst examples of it.
If we respect indira gandhi as PM or voted for her, then i never thought that she was a woman or not; just that she was more suitable for that post apart from anybody OR in 1977 she needed to bite the dust because of emergency.
I never supported abul kalam, vajpayee because they were males. I never hated abul kalam election as a president, because he was a muslim
Kindly open your narrow eyes, see through that the country needs to llok beyond reservation, otherwise it was just a few decades when we were not independent.
Sometimes if possible then try to think that u r indian who wants to have leaders at top who are good irrespective of their gender. Brining 33% reservation for women, then in next few years/decades, why should not be there quta within that 33% for muslim women (because they suffer more), why should not be there be a quota within that muslim women quota, because ahmedia as a community suffer a lot from other muslim fellows. Why not put quota for OBC women in that 33% because as other backward cast they so called suffer a lot, within that OBC women reservation why not have a subquota for MBC(most beackward ) because they so called sufer more than OBC. And wow! u have british - rule and divide policy back.
Why not in parliament , make reservation for women in army; that while fighting pakistan at direct "front" (not for ground duties), we need 33% women who will try to share the danger which till now is 100% monopoly of indian army men of being captured by enemy, tortured and executed.
do come out of your cokoon and think.
What a typical crying mentality of girls. I have got titties, i will blame every problem on society ,i will blame every problem on males.
just pity on you. have u ever seen the performance and pressure in which the male is today. my negihbour is working day in office, when he comes home his housewife says that u take care of child as your daughter was not with u for whole day and see needs father too. All the well, till their maid cooks the dinner. After he comes back from playing with his daughter and has his dinner, then sits with his daughter to teach her and finish her homework. In weekends, expectance is to take her outside, the saas-bahu serial competing mahila gang has flashed new saris , now he has to give her new saris, even though he has just last week only happily given her expensive saree. Travels in alternate weekends alone to native place to meet his parents at naive place and comes back.
Just expectations, expectations .. expectations from males by the "maid servant served- saas bahu serials continuously watching - shopping " wives who will then cry - ooohh.. its just man world , we are being discriminated.
stop writing such bullshit articles.. come back to reality... Ding dong... wake up wake up.. shake some legs and do some real work
