On Indian men and why there are still boys.

Why there shouldn't be masculine movement? Are the present day men leading a better life? Do they understand everything they see? Why they suppress all their emotions as if they don't have any? The following article addresses these points to some extent.

An excerpt from the article.
"The point is, there should be no one unicorn: no new stereotype to replace the first. If there was to be a masculine movement to equal the feminist movement that has set large sections of the Indian woman free, the goal for Indian men would be to throw off some of their own deprivations. From the moment they can walk, Indian men are taught to provide but not feel. Taught to command, not empathise. Taught to expect subservience not companionship. Taught, most damagingly, to repudiate their emotions. Their inner life. Their capacity for variety".
