A bitter truth!

Today I had to sit on the seat near the driver of the bus. I could see how he was reacting to the persons coming in his path. A boy came in his path breaking rules of traffic and driver said “kya masti hai isko!” After sometime same thing a woman did. And what did this great driver say? He said – “Kya bevakoof hai!”
What a difference in these reactions! Same driver to the same situation reacts differently. Why is this difference? When boys do some mistake, they do it for fun or for mischief and when girls do the same mistake they are fool. If we are given lessons that everything is like how we look at it, then why people can’t change their pre(mis)conception about this? I’d say everyone doing such partiality is orthodox. They are still stuck in wrong beliefs.

We do duties for saving environment, trees etc. One also must follow the rule of equality. The next person is human first, and then he is a boy or a girl.

So many people fight against the caste system in India. And at the same time they ignore this inequality. Fight for inequality not for your side. :)

You missed a subtle difference. The first one was a kid and the second one was a grown-up.

I find "Why is this difference? When boys do some mistake, they do it for fun or for mischief and when girls do the same mistake they are fool." comment very wrong. May be a mis-interpretation of fact.

You should have watched out for a man doing the mistake and seeing his reaction. I can say, he would have dished out some pretty offensive expletives :).

RE: If you are thinking of just the age as the difference then I will tell you there was no much difference in age. I put wrong words - boy and women.
And if you couldn't see through the goggles as I did, then it is good that there are some persons who don't look at people unequally. :)

Okay, I took up the boy and woman quite literally.

Anyways, I have seen how much swear words men throw on each other. Haven't been equally fortunate to hear the same from women ;)

Also, there will always be people on both the sides. The important thing is the count :D. One got to outweigh the other, right?

So, let's do it... \:D/
