Last August our neighbour Kumar bought a car, my wife woke me from sleep saying - 'Is he not a man like you? Or is he from another planet? You have to do just as  he has done? "You too must buy a car" She ordered me.  You know! I was forced to buy a Car.

After four months, the same neighbour bought a piece of land, and my wife disturbed me until I also bought one. One month ago, the neighbour started constructing his house on the land he purchased. As usual, she did not leave me in peace until I also purchased.

The 'women as nag' stereotype is particularly very harmful.  Women who are articulate find that if they argue with men, they are often dismissed as being a nag. This characterisation not only prevents men from getting the benefit of the women's wisdom, but also shuts up the women, which can be quite upsetting. This kind of thinking prevents women from playing their rightful role in any discussion/meeting/event etc. Women who are articulate (speak well) are often shut up by men/man by using this 'dont nag' kind of response... it can be 'dont whine', 'dont keep arguing' .. etc kind of remarks also.

Before the wedding the man bribed the priest 5 lakhs and requested him to not include "I will be faithful to my wife" in the vows. But the priest included this in the vow during the wedding. He returned the 5 lakhs, adding 25,000  and said that the women had bribed him 10 lakhs to make sure he included this lien in the vows.
