For millions of
university students, Facebook has become a fact of life; it is a vast source of
social stimulation that showcases the glamorous and interesting aspects of our
everyday lives. It is now part and parcel of our daily routine that has
completely changed our life, or in fact I should say have given us a new life.
For every person there are two identities –first, being the real identity and
second, the virtual facebook identity. It has helped us to connect with the
existing friends, make new ones and be updated about them. But there is one
thing that Mark and face book has done in Pakistan which neither our social
reformers, nor Politicians could do and that is – “It has given higher status
to women or much more beyond it in our second virtual world”.

My intention here
is not to criticize Ms. Ambreen or any other girl posting pictures (I do
respect them), but what bothers me is the growing number of fake women profiles and this gender discrimination. So what makes a guy go
to extent of losing his masculinity in face book???
As William James
once said: "the deepest principle in
human nature is the craving to get appreciated".
Girls do get
their desired share of appreciation for their pictures, status, comments or
anything they scribble on facebook.
But when it comes
to boys they are starved of the appreciation they deserve and even if they do,
it depends on their nature and the social circle possessed by the boy more than
the content he posts.

It is every
individual’s right to like what he/she likes, but i just request everyone to
"Save the boy
child and do like their filthy pictures before they get extinct on facebook".
P.S. Boys getting more than 75 likes for their
DP’s should surely go for modeling.
