What he goes through

In this world where feminism has become a topic of important discussion and also patriarchal behavior is highlighted , people are now going deeper into the struggles of those weaker section of women that have been oppressed in some way. A good cause, a great initiative and a hope for an equal world.

Now when the world at present is already male dominating the larger points and privileges of being a man is shown. The focus is always on that part of the men's world which is over powering. Giving a look at what an average guy of mid twenties go through might not feel what we think it to be . Obviously I could only have around me the people with similar age so I would put some light on those.
Some are the recent graduates that are in a constant tension of getting a job because of various family, social, peer or personal pressure.

Those who are wanting to study more have started to listen to things like "when I was your age, we had you with us and you aren't even done with your education".
Those who are willing to study but just can't get through a particular course because they never wanted to pursue it get to hear things like "this horse is simply wasting my money. He was better at our shop only".
Those who have a job now but are paid less especially compared to the girls from the same college or batch are already having a rock on their egos either through self analysis or social taunts .

The boys with the girlfriends are the real victims because they have a fixed bamboo in their ass to pace up quick at job and carrier so they can talk at their home and the girl's home otherwise she'd go elsewhere is another tension and somewhere a torture as well. This makes me so sad and guilty on behalf of all the girls who are doing it and definitely so much sympathy for all the guys who are bearing this pressure . This is just too bad.
The guys who have a girl they wish to marry might hear it from their parents " yeah, Now you are mature enough to take your decisions because you've slipped out of hands. We mean nothing to you.your choice your decisions we bloody don't have a say in this. Very well you are going".

Their mornings start from taking their dogs to the walk with eyes half opened. Their nights go with listening to their family's complaints and if they have a girl friend they sleep to her complaints as well. By the end of the week they get a Sunday when they wake up to the switched of fan by the maid that's cleaning the room. The Saturday night is no fun if their girl has to always cry "why do you always have to drink every some days?" . In their mind the guy might say "mah life mah rulz" but ends up convincing "baby ek hi to din milta hai usme toh relax karne do" . The remaining weekend goes wooing the girl and then it's again Monday and all that happens again.

There are so many boys around us ranging from 'just graduated' to 'about to marry' each having different struggles, tensions, pressures and so many mixed feelings that might not let them sleep. They might face depression as well. But amazingly that bunch of the male world is never focused on.
They just can't leave the job because they can marry a girl who's earning enough for both.
They are always worried about their careers because they'll be the man of the house one day.

The guilt in their heart that the salary is not enough and they still have to ask for extra Money from their dad instead of giving them.
The fear of losing their love to someone just because she can't wait because 25 is older of girls but not boys.
They can't cry openly because "big boys don't cry".
So much in them but never reaches to their mouth to tell. They just hold a beer bottle and the world feels they're chilling. *Sigh*
