The recent opposition against making of wearing of skirts compulsory in the game of badminton reminded me of the Einstein theory of relativity – there is nothing like absolute conservative or for that matter like absolute progressive attitude. These are only relative terminologies. The players’ world stood up in opposition this time. It only reiterates the point that a person takes either a conservative approach or adopts a progressive attitude only in response to the situation that he/she faces at that point of time. You can snub those who want fully covered girls playing badminton/tennis but the fact is now getting unveiled that till now it was probably not the innocent players who had decided the style of their clothes. In fact I have now reasons to believe that whatever they were wearing hitherto were actually forced upon them. Their willingness and consent was bought cunningly by befooling them in the name of their comfort and/or by making them believe that the extent of skin-show or the breadth of exposure of their curves actually measure their liberty. Please forgive me if it hurts anybody who is still under the influence of some sexist progressive-thinkers but it is a verifiable fact that the more liberal a female becomes the more she is exploited by the society. After all it is not for no reasons that the media without fail captures only those snaps with angles that attempt to capture these talented sports-girls with their skirts up. It is also not unintentional that the page3, the ad-world and the fashion-industry use these self-offering, willingly-exploited, ‘liberal-females’ as mere commodities. I rate this willing-exploitation much worse than what an average Indian homemaker is made to pass through as they too get exploited willingly but only by a single person/family. These females feel inexplicably victimized when they are not provided with the chance to get exploited just as it was reported in the case of one of the IPL-cheer-girls who was sent back to South Africa unceremoniously unexploited. Now she herself admits that they were treated like instruments of cheap-joy by one and all. However it is a fact that they were not selected from any pool of talent but simply handpicked and in return they were not expected to resist any attempt of such exploitations. Irony is that these forces do not want to leave anyone and now want to force everybody to wear what they want them to wear. Left to them, it will be just a matter of time that all games will have a dress code of beach volleyball-players or something else that is still unimaginable. In the name of artistic-expressions, these forces will also leave no scope for wardrobe malfunctioning for those flat-faced self-exploited fashion-instruments called ramp-walkers. However these sexist-eyed progressive thinkers will be quick to blame me for opposing such exposure and will snub me for being hypocritically conservative since I too enjoy ogling onto the fashion-section and the page3 exposures in addition to the sports-page photographs that captures many of them unaware with their skirts flying up. However, I fail to understand that how can they justify these exploitations by establishing that everybody enjoys them. Yes you can call me hypocrite since I will always differentiate between an act of personal enjoyment and a matter of public entertainment but I find those progressive-beasts as symbols of hypocrisy as they will never admit that they enjoy exploiting this situation to feed their hyper-sexist desires in the company of their creation of a class of self-destructing willing-to-be-exploited 'liberal-females'.
