Unthreatened featuring Raam Kumar
Who wears the pants in this family?
And who yields the sword?
Who breaks the other’s fast faster with a ready cup of tea
And who plays the lord?
He, she, wife, husband.
He cleans up after his little daughter
Organises the kitchen
Folds the laundry with the missus
Tells a funny story, makes her laugh to earn his keep.
She responds with a wifely-duty giggle.
And cooks him dinner in return,
They run after their tyrant toddler
Parenting like two hands that clapped
And made a baby.
He drapes his wife’s saree
And wears jewellery
Before slicing you into two
With his disinterest in your opinions
And outdated ideals of masculinity.
