One day while taking my evening walks i saw these two small kids playing around my building. One of them got really angry on another one for some reason. Since i was concentrating on my walk i did not really get to know what transpired between them but the words Fuck you reached my ears like an arrow being shot at me. The small boy shouted at the other and said fuck you. These words really compelled me to go and ask him,'' Do you know the meaning of these words". He said ," No Aunti I dont know but i have heard it in a song and also In WWF wrestling". I had to tell him, seeing his age he was only about 6, not to use this word again like this. He did ask me why and i had no clue how to explain it to him. It was such a tender age. I just excused myself from there , probably he would have gone back home and asked his mother. I dont know whether she would have been able to explain it to him but i was saved and spared of all the explanations. This episode really made me ponder that how much our society has become sexually liberated. Words like sex and fuck was such a taboo in our society and now small kids are using it without knowing their meanings
In this internet savvy generation, everything is easily available. Sometimes i feel everything is suddenly revolving around the sexuality. Its everywhere movies, music, advertisements.It seems that the male deodorants were made only to physically attract a woman. See the range of deo adds coming on TV, most of them have sexual overtones to them. See the Rihannas, beyonces, britneys of pop music, hip gyrating dances, sexually provocative dresses,raunchy videos. does one really need to do such things if one is talented and has made good music?. Why sexual element has to be included? I have seen people slyly enjoying the videos of such songs irrespective whether the song is actually good or not.I feel its like 'prostitutionalising' the music. I dont know this word exists in the dictionary and if not then i am coining it.And as always we have started aping this trend from the west as well. When it is shown on TV naturally our little kids will get exposed to it in some point of their growing up. Its very difficult to dissuade them from seeing them because moral policing all the time is not possible for parents.
Well I am not saying the society should be sexually regressive but liberalisation should not make it vulgar. It should be used to educate the kids so that they should not experiment with their sexuality and do painful mistakes in their lives. It should not be interpreted as bad and the kids should be able to discuss openly about it with their parents.
