There are times when you cannot find something profound or witty to say when a piece is so good that you have to fall back on cliched words.<br /><br />By the way, a Society that assigned a subordinate role to women also, in theory, enforced respectful behavior with women outside the family setup, This respect appears to be disintegrating because the more prominent and independent role that women now play in Society challenges the fragile ego of a significant proportion of men. Let us hope it is only the trauma of an adjustment to change and not an evil that has come here to stay.C Sureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447144019185253116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408417325635115417.post-39784488439259639452013-07-16T13:36:25.679+05:302013-07-16T13:36:25.679+05:30I am quite surprised by Manu's views and direc...I am quite surprised by Manu's views and directions for women.

And I think women have to help women much more - today even there the wires seem tangled.<br /><br />It's only mini-celebration time now - more work to be done, bigger mountains to be scaled.<br /><br />Your article was a good read.Jayadev Menonhttp://jayadevm.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408417325635115417.post-81857755344005044032011-10-22T18:57:36.064+05:302011-10-22T18:57:36.064+05:30Wonderfully written, dear Purba...

I would swing between being one and not being one. Though I feel very strongly about all the 'women issues' but I don't blame MEN for all that is happening in the society.

Kudos!!<br />I guess its best written this way to convince Desh that it is scary for women in Delhi - it was hard to convice him!<br />Also, lately some women have been lucky and found a husband that supports her dreams and encourages her urge to surge ahead! And miniscule percentage are taking advanatage - traumatize the spouse and threaten with abducting the kids or false law suits and police complaints. I would say both men and women have taken feminism to an entirely different height!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223999038122776403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408417325635115417.post-30836671349614253892010-12-29T20:03:38.030+05:302010-12-29T20:03:38.030+05:30dont know how i missed this gem...but a gem it is....dont know how i missed this gem...but a gem it is..<br />hits the spot..spot on...menonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270537912834607404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408417325635115417.post-34924676017085638882010-11-29T13:20:58.313+05:302010-11-29T13:20:58.313+05:30Unfortunately most of their role models are barbie...Unfortunately most of their role models are barbie doll like filmstars!Purbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345755953291104000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408417325635115417.post-3852003406022318212010-11-27T08:31:19.287+05:302010-11-27T08:31:19.287+05:30The mainstream national media is giving good aware...The mainstream national media is giving good awareness about women who break the trend on regular occasions. <br /><br />Our female children need sufficient exposure to strong women role models, right from their school days and childhood. <br /><br />You would have handled the experience differently, because of your brought-up.Blognostichttp://www.blognostic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408417325635115417.post-13087731566416142072010-11-24T08:04:16.326+05:302010-11-24T08:04:16.326+05:30Thank you, Ayyangar Sir
