Cause & Treatment of Misogyny
Apparently we are the smartest species on this planet. We are so civilized and advanced that we have invented cures for countless diseases, stepped foot on the moon and even sent a probe outside our solar system.
But, have all these extraordinary scientific achievements truly improved the quality of life? We the scientists have made life more comfortable, but how much really have we contributed to solving the quintessential problems of life? Modern technology has made life sophisticated, yet the whole human civilization craves for the basic elements of human existence. Civilized humans have the whole world on the palm of their hand, yet they cannot find peace and happiness. With all our scientific achievements have we really discovered any practical means to resolve the ancient conflicts of the human society yet? Have we discovered the path towards happiness?
The answer would be a straight no. But I, Abhijit Naskar, a responsible Neuroscientist of this planet cannot take no for an answer. So, through all my books I have brought the fascinating universe of the human mind into your life. Human mind is the birth place of all our inexplicable scientific achievements as well as the never ending conflicts of human society. These conflicts grab onto the human consciousness like incurable diseases.
And one of those dreadful diseases is misogyny.
Misogyny is the society's common innate prejudice against woman. It has made the whole human civilization crippled. If you truly look, you can find misogyny everywhere in your society. Misogyny runs in the veins of the so called civilized humans. You can find it in the movies, where it is all about objectification of women.
You can even see it in the very English language, where we gloriously use terms like "Man" and "He" to refer to both genders. That's why I try my best to avoid such stereotypical terms in my scientific works. I cannot accept such nonsensical norms in language just because the society says so. And I urge to you to think before you use such language. Ask your rational mind, and you'll receive the answer.
We have misogyny in our society because throughout our existence as a species we have been male-dominated. It is only recently that women have become equally productive in all aspects of life. But in our primitive days, it was men fighting to protect their mates and progeny, and women nourishing the children and taking care of the home. The men were the providers of the family and the women were caretakers. And this strategy worked well for around 200,000 years. That's why all the religious scriptures were written by men.
It's not because God chose the men to convey the divine message, but because men appointed themselves to be the monitor of the divine domain driven by their subconscious desire masking as God's will to become the authority figures of the society.
In my book Biopsy of Religions Neuroanalysis towards Universal Tolerance, you can read in detail about how the human beings of our history constructed such fascinating organized structure of religions and why most of those religions promote sinister ideas of misogyny and polygamy while despising the common biological phenomenon of homosexuality.
What's the point of so many scriptures and highly venerated figures in philosophy, if they don't possess the simple ability to teach us plain ordinary everyday kindness for both man and woman?
Men are neurologically designed to crave for authority and power over everything around them. It is the product of millions of years of evolution, so it cannot be erased just like that over a few decades or even centuries. It'll take time, till the society starts to perceive men and women to be equal. But for that future to arrive sooner, we must join hands and start making efforts right now. The actions we take now shall define our future. We cannot just leave the primitive biological feature of misogyny untreated just because it's evolution. Evolution is a relentless process of biological life. It never stops. And things we do now, shall prepare a less primitive evolutionary future of the human race.
Now is the time, that you think over this matter seriously. Because if we don't, we'll end up carrying on the monstrous prejudicial tradition of misogyny forever. We'll end up leading our world back to the Stone Age.
As I have said in my book Prescription: Treating India's Soul, "neglect of women is the major cause for the society’s downfall."
The man and the woman are the two wheels of the society. If either one becomes defective, the society cannot make progress. There will be hope for the well-being of the entire world only if the humans, men and women alike, stop deeming the women as some kind of inferior creatures. We, the responsible citizens of the world can build a better future for the entire species, only by improving the condition of the women.
And here I am not advocating for feminism. Even though the advocates of feminism gladly use the term to refer to equality between man and woman, the common human brain is not capable of perceiving such equality beyond the gender bias of the very word. It'll be same as using Man to refer to both genders.
Hence, the only words suitable in this scenario is Humanism and Human, rather than Feminism and Man. The future of the human society is at stake here. Those of you who will one day become parents, remember, it is imperative that you raise your children as modern humans of the advanced human civilization, rather than raising boys or girls.
If only one generation takes action in raising their children as Humans, rather than raising boys and girls, the future human civilization shall get rid of the sinister phenomenon of misogyny sooner than you can imagine.
Dear sisters and brothers, share this article with your freethinking friends and start working together in the pursuit of making this world a better place for the future generations.

Vagina Power (The Sonnet) | Handcrafted Humanity
There's nothing special about growing balls,
In fact, man-sack is the definition of weakness.
If you wanna grow something, grow a vagina,
For vagina is the epitome of resilience.
There's an organism that goes through hell,
Quite regularly, yet stands strong and brave.
It is the source of all creation everywhere,
Yet all through history it's been kept as slave.
No love can surpass the love of a mother,
No care can surpass a sister's care.
Yet a society run by balls and bananas,
Makes a hooker out of our mothers and sisters.
Worship of balls is but a prehistoric mania.
There will be no balls without a vagina.

Sonnet of Short Dress | Honor He Wrote
There is no short dress, only short sight,
No obscene outfit, only eyes of obscenity.
The world is no man’s family heirloom,
That it should be cherished by the men only.
Instead of restricting a girl’s right to expression,
Teach boys, short dress isn’t a sign of consent.
If women cannot walk around freely as men do,
Better sentence all men to lifetime imprisonment.
Let all girls hear it loud, wear what you like to wear,
Walk around naked if that’s what you really want.
And when an animal makes unwanted advances,
Activate your knee ‘n crush their beloved balls to pulp.
Girls don’t need protecting, they ain’t fragile showpiece.
Let’s just raise boys as decent humans, not entitled bullies.
No obscene outfit, only eyes of obscenity.

Women Run Better (The Sonnet) | Vande Vasudhaivam
Men only inherit the world,
Women give birth to the world.
If women can birth the world,
women can run the world
(far better than men).
History reveals, war is a masculine merchandise,
Whereas preserving life is an act of the feminine.
Masculinity bears inclination for competitiveness,
Femininity is synonymous with synergy and cohesion.
That’s why female leaders
can step down more gracefully,
making way for new minds at the helm,
Whereas their male counterparts would
rather take their position to the grave.
Femininity is not a reproductive quality,
Femininity is the source of all rejuvenation.
No matter what gender or orientation you are,
Nourish your femininity, and there’ll be ascension.

Manhood Diaries (The Sonnet) | Kanima Akiyor Kainat
Onun için cennet ol, cehennem değil.
Vicdanlı bir adam ol, hayvan değil.
Sé una bendición para ella, no una maldición.
Onun yaralarına ilacı ol, tuz değil.
Be her paradise, not prison.
Be her man, not master.
Be a miracle to her maladies.
Be her crown, not custard.
There is no alpha male and beta male,
There is only man and baboon.
Decency defines a man’s character,
Not the virility of his heirloom.
Partner on the streets,
Slave between the sheets,
That’s what a real man is.
Undaunted in danger,
Uncompromising in calamity,
That’s what a real human is.

Women in Power (The Sonnet) | Visvavictor
Women in power is power used best,
Men in power means power makes a mess.
For the world to become gender-neutral,
First it’s gotta become matriarchal.
Thereafter gender will bear no significance,
Only the capable shall dawn the pedestal.
In patriarchy war and tyranny are the norm,
While peace and equality are exception.
In matriarchy synergy is the norm,
While shallowness is the exception.
Before the world is equalized,
first it’s gotta be dehypnotized.
And no world is ever dehypnotized till
the paradigm is mended by the marginalized.

“Almost every child on earth dreams of travelling to America, then you grow up…” Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood
Almost every child on earth dreams of travelling to America, then you grow up, and you realize, it’s the last place on earth any civilized person should step foot on – and those born here can’t wait to get out. It’s not American Dream, it’s American Scream – utopia for a white, straight, misogynistic animal kingdom to flourish, but an absolute purgatory for a civilized human society.
All of Her is Holy Site (Boys Be Men, Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat (First Drop)
Way to a woman’s heart is through
her eyes, not between her legs.
All of her is holy site, to wander
unwelcome even with eyes is sickness.
First be her sanctuary, her safe haven,
then be the filthiest beast you can be.
Slave to her kinks between the sheets,
and in society be her shameless shield.
Anybody can stay the night,
takes backbone to stay the life.
Penetration of flesh is animal affair,
human miracle is to touch the mind.
Boys be Men! Lift your brain above your belt.
In monsoon be her brolly, in drought be her rain.
“most human we ever were…” Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets
Racism is no longer tolerated as normal, Islamophobia is no longer tolerated as normal, Homophobia is no longer tolerated as normal, Chauvinism is no longer tolerated as normal, Colonialism is no longer tolerated as normal – believe you me, this is the most human humanity have ever been in our 200,000 years long history.
Most Human (Sonnet 2151) – Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets
Racism is no longer tolerated as normal,
Islamophobia is no longer tolerated as normal,
Homophobia is no longer tolerated as normal,
Chauvinism is no longer tolerated as normal,
Colonialism is no longer tolerated as normal –
believe you me, I speak as a biologist,
this is the most human humanity have
ever been in our 200,000 years long history.
Accessibility is no longer ignored as unimportant,
Autism is no longer frowned upon as abnormal,
Integration is no longer cussed as act of stigma,
Intolerance no longer celebrated as divine intervention.
No wonder bigots have their knickers in a twist,
customs of the jungle are getting eradicated like disease.
Don’t be disheartened by occasional resurgence of fascism,
inhumanity flickers fiercely before fading into the abyss.
