#3,

It is not right to compare 20the century England with 21st century England. Compare them to the 20th century rest of the world. Vote or no vote, there lives were much better than most of the world where the miserable women were looked at as a piece of property.

#5,

I was dismayed at the kanjarpana during Holi. In Chandigarh, chooras and bhaias get free license to do this. I was shocked at the silence. People just don`t go out. I did and got into cussing matches. Some have started to beat up these basturds. I`ve seen Punjab Police take a few whack at these idiots. Religious and politics refrains them from doing more.

#7,

Besides education, I`ve noticed that women who fight back are less likely to get harrassed. Silence attracts more harrassment. Last year, in Chd. a youth confronted several youths on eve teasing. Outnumbered, he was chased. He came back with his friends and ended up killing one of the culprits. I don`t know how it ended.
