"pseudo-feminism"


Ok that’s a word I came up with (At least I haven’t heard it from anywhere else). So I was talking to this friend when I got to know about the fact that America has a higher population of girls to guys, that got me thinking … how come India which has more males than females was lead by a woman(Indira Gandhi the one in the pic) for 15 of its 58 years of independence while “…land of the free and the home of the brave” hasn’t had a woman leader in …. never. Doesn’t it sound bogus when we talk about women’s empowerment in the middle east when we are afraid to “really” empower them in the west! I am not even going to go into the glass ceiling …

I guess this is where pseudo-feminism comes in … in the name of gender equality all they got was only to sleep around and do drugs but no real equality. I still can’t fathom how you couldn’t have a woman leader when women are in majority ??? we complain about the minority Sunnis ruled over the majority Shias … wonder if anybody is looking inside. And India being a male dominated society (We look down on women who smoke and drink … and divorcees …) still lets women be in seats of power … the power behind our current central(federal) government is a lady. For that matter the president of two other easter countries (Sri Lanka and Phillipines) are women.

This is just food for thought … for those who think that women are equal in the US. The Man just gives you some to take away everything …

Married again ….

Well I thought this would be a better title than saying marriage 2 or marriage continued … continuing on the topic of marriages … either I am getting old or the world is getting older cause’ it seems like everybody I know is getting married. Starting off with Katie’s marriage next month … I can only smile at the sheep being let to the slaughter. Jokes apart here is another dose of the pictures from back home. You must understand that this took place over a period of three days and four different functions, hence the various dresses! And do leave your comments, cause I know you are looking!
