chastity and hypocrisy in society
Well I just thought to write something about the concept of chastity as we witness it.To begin with just ask a typical male what sort of female he would like to marry with.well the answer ,most of the times,will be that he wants a chaste woman no matter how many times he has been invloved in physical relationship with other woman.Speaking of my personal experiences with my female friends whom i have posed the question of their matrial preferences ,they didn't seem to prefer the concept of chastity.

So why does a male stresses chastity so much when he himself ,given a chance ,would like to loose as early as possible.The answer to it lies in the male pshycology which evolved in that direction starting from days when human race used to live in jungles.a male of any species is more assertive than any female .That is because god designed the male powerfull so that he can go out and hunt for food for his family .So that thing over a period of time became a part of male pshyche that he is the better and more intelligent part of the human race and he has got the right to choose his female.Now given a chance to choose who would not prefer to select a new or chaste thing,so to say!!!.

Another major reason behind this kind of thinking is that ours is a patriarchal social system in which the male governs the family.Now a male thinks that a woman who is not chaste might be more independent,assertive and not submissive so as to fit in the patriarchal society because "she has had her experiences".

A female was never given the right to choose because of the system so she seems to accept male irrespective of fact he is chaste or not.Now it has been observed that in some cases where the female is more assertive and indpendent then she also prefers a submmissive and a chaste male.why?

what do u think of the concept of chastity as prevalent in our social system.i would particularly like to see the views of females in this regard.
