FEMINISM ISSUES
1. WOMEN’S TYPICAL CHARACTERSTICS
  a) Obsession towards romantic movies
  b) Women loves compliment ; men
     makes use of that fact

2. GENDER STEREOTYPING (ACTIVITY-DOMAIN)

3. WOMEN AS FAITHFUL AND PIETY WIVES (SERVE
   THE HUSBAND)

4. WOMEN AS A SYMBOL OF BEAUTY (MEN ARE
   ONLY ATTRACTED TO THAT)
1. WOMEN’S TYPICAL
   CHARACTERISTICS
  A. Obsession towards romantic movies.
  a) As portrayed in the short story, Raju’s
   mother was so obsessed with Tamil
   movies that she brought Raju with her
   into the cinemas and would not want to
   miss any movie, regardless of her-
   motherly-tasks.
T.E. – “When I was a baby, mum used to
  smuggle me into the cinemas….”
  “To miss even one Tamil movie was
  unthinkable. Mum wasn’t going to have
  any of that-baby or no baby.”

 This characteristic is very common
  among woman subjects and it could be a
  very offensive way of portraying women
  as a creature of habit and unable to
  separate themselves from obsession.
  (personal VS works)
b) Women      loves compliment; men makes use
  of that fact.
 Despite of the bride’s beauty, she had a
  weakness. She was squint-eyed.
 However, Raju was not bothered by the
  eyes and thought it was charming.
 T.E. – “When I was born, I brought my
  father tremendous business luck. He didn’t
  want to ruin it. Does my…does it revolt
  you?” (the bride)
 “I think it’s charming” (Raju)
 At first, the bride was worried and angry.
  She thought that Raju would be bothered
  by her squint eye.
 However, the bride lost her temper and
  slowly became more comfortable when
  Raju told her that her squint-eye was
  charming.
2. Gender stereotyping
 (activity-domains)
 It was portrayed in the story that women
  were attached to their own gender-fixed
  tasks, such as being in the kitchen and
  doing all the cooking, cleaning and
  women-related tasks.
 T.E.
    a) “She was not in the kitchen where
  women stirred curries and cleaned…”
    b) “Mum wasn’t in the bedroom
  either, where my aunts were arranging
3. Women as faithful and piety
   wives (serve their husband)
  Although the marriage was arranged by
   the family, greater power was
   possessed by his father on that matter.
   The mother just obeyed and do what
   she was supposed to do, which was
   helping with the preparation of the
   marriage.
  T.E.
     a) “….go ask your father, he arranged
   everything.”
 The textual evidence implied that even the
  mother has no objection or whatsoever
  suggestion towards the marriage.
 Her husband controlled and arranged
  “everything” and her task was to serve him.
  (doing the work and preparation)
 They(the women) were raised that way
  and eventually, they were used to the idea
  of letting “everything” on their husband’s
  hands.
4. Women as a symbol of beauty
and men are only attracted to
their beauty.

 At first, the bride was mistaken for a fat
  and ugly woman. Raju was terrified.
 T.E. – “She was built like a warship…. My
  insides shriveled up. I swear I could feel
  them curling up to die.”
 Raju wanted to call-off the wedding.
 However, he met the actual bride and
  fell in love with her on the spot
  because she was beautiful.
 T.E. – “She was neither Savithri nor
  Padmini; neither fat nor skinny. She
  was just beautiful…. Her eyebrows
  were delicate new moons and her
  nose, her mouth…”
 This implied that men are only
  attracted to women for their beauty.
  Raju refused to marry the “fat girl.”
 This is the negative effect of gender-
  stereotyping, where Raju expected or
  wanted his bride to be as beautiful as
  Savithri and Padmini, the actresses he
  used to adore for their beauties.
 When women were portrayed to men (in
  mass media, arts..) as creatures of perfect
  beauty, men will expect every woman to be
  as beautiful as what has been portrayed to
  them.
 Raju was somehow affected by what he
 saw
 from the Tamil movies.
Summary of The Short Story
Dey Raju by Saras M
Manickam

 The story tells about Raju, who has
  been raised in a Tamil-household.
 Despite of being highly
  educated, Raju, not like any other
  young men, is still so conservative
  and he holds to his Tamil
  culture, which is the “arranged
  marriage”.
 He does not know his future bride and
  he does not love her either, but he does
  not go against the idea of arranged
  marriage.
 It is when he actually meets his future
  bride that he fall in love with her on the
  spot because she is a very beautiful
  woman, not like Savithri and
  Padmini, the Tamil actresses he used to
  adore for their beauty, but she is just
  beautiful. It is a sweet story of love at
  the first sight.
