Their pass books are updated by their husbands and they wouldn’t know their increment date. They cannot/will not fill out a railway reservation slip, let alone income tax return forms."<BR/><BR/>Gmom, I am glad that I am not the only one who feels that way when encountering such women!! <BR/><BR/>Coming to soaps (Indian ones especially), I rejoice (now more than ever before) whenever I see a strong but bad female character, no matter how bad she is portrayed in the dramas. You know why? At least 'she' is empowered enough to 'think', 'say' and 'do' those bad things confidently rather than being the 'oh-safe-me-please-darling-knight' heroine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-60124789395376303442007-03-14T19:23:00.000+05:302007-03-14T19:23:00.000+05:30mahadevan:You refer to urban women but there are t...mahadevan:You refer to urban women but there are thosands in semi urban and rural areas who still have a long way to go.Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891699611146003601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-28039292473486754762007-03-14T17:17:00.000+05:302007-03-14T17:17:00.000+05:30Agree with your four points, starting with self es...Agree with your four points, starting with self esteem.

And I dont see any real progress for this country until they have learnt to see things in the right perspective and stand up for their rights.Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179239922869639391noreply@blogger.com
