Males, Females and Non-Males

I usually hear this word: Non-Males- a lot at IIM. And each time, it gets on my nerves. Why are people so hypocrite? We put in as much effort as any damn f******* guy there! And if we are pretty, we hear..ohh its cos of the looks that you are here and if we are not then we are non-males.
It takes to be a man to live as a woman. No words, no act and no tears can make anyone understand the quantum of courage we possess.
Pardon me if I come across like a staunch feminist. I am for the equality of sexes. We are good at different things and here I would like to quote a friend's (Kushal) words-
"the fact that women empowerment is being attempted in itself proves that they are unequal in fact, i never understand the concept of men and women being equal. arrey bhai, they were not meant to be equal at all. agar equal hi banana tha, to kudrat ne khud hi equal bana diya hota apan kyo itni fight maarte hai. the problem is not the fact that women are incapable of doing some of the work men do and vice versa the problem is, we have classified the work that men do as superior"
My ears are straining to hear more such views. Anyone??
