Human being are social in nature, they live in a society and socialize. We want association, a sense of belongingness. Nobody wants to live a lonely life. So, there are a fixed set of rules and values that everybody needs to follow. But these rules are mainly concentrated towards women.
            I can’t understand why these rules must be strictly followed by women. In the holy book of ”Ramayana”, Sita was told not to cross the holy line( laxman rekha). This can be seen as a metaphor. The holy line is actually the value of the society and women can’t go against these values. So, if a girl smokes or gets a tattoo then she is tagged as a characterless person but if same thing is done by a man, the society simply ignores it. Boys can’t get away with everything. There must be few rules that they should also follow.
