Women secretly run this country Gandhi ji disclosed

I let the guys flea,
So due to cleaver James Bond action the men caught one of the guys
your husband and so via the men associated with you,
cleaning and the menial tasks the surround child rearing,


...it also means that if you know the owners of chowk, they will publish such trash under the garb of sociological context...;)

Aisha, sorry about your ordeal! Being treated lousy because of one’s physical appearance or physical characteristics is a terrible thing and unfortunately happens too often all over the world, including in the subcontinent. In that respect, I see not much difference on either side of the border. Life is not idyllic – one takes small steps at a time and tries to continue to make a difference over the long run! A people do not change their nature overnight. But it is important not to compromise on the method – therefore, it may have been counterproductive to use the tools of mob-hysteria (which is at the root of many problems) even though it was for a goal that appeared highly important at the time because of the personal nature of the affront. But oh well, life goes on! :)

PS: I hope you go buy a new purse! :)

i salute you aisha! sometimes registering our protest has to be enough because there really isn`t much else we can do about it.

Shame on Pakistani Men.
What a terrible thing to do to a woman like yourself. If this would have happened in Punjab there would have been upheavel.
Why do you have to bring jinnah into this?

In a time like this..one must ask..``what would Gandhiji do?``...think about it aisha..think hard and long about Gandhiji

stop questioning the value of a san jose state education..

Despite the spelling mistakes, this was a nice essay. Good for you, for taking a stand. Eve teasing exists everywhere, in some form or another. In new york, I once witnessed a desi hot dog stand vendor teasing a white woman walking by. The funny thing is, she smiled and teased him back while going along her way. The guy stood there speechless. Guess he didn`t see that one coming.

If I ever have a daughter, I`m planning to enroll her in self-defense classes as well as how to use a firearm.

I`ve said before slapping is useless, kick the mothafucka in the balls as hard as you can, do your part in making sure the sob never procreates.

That`s a nice article. Agree with Che. I`ve a toddler and she is already doing karate class.

She thinks she is joan of arc and shakespeare rolled in one.

segregation/purdah leads to all kinds of deviant and perverse behaviors: this misbehavior of women is one.

desis can`t beat europeans-so they pick on women to feel better.

usually these eunuchs work in bunch; at least in india, they get thrashed.

it should read misbehavior TOWARDS women

Ms. Sarwari,

I’m sorry to read that you were harassed by two louts. Good for you that you raised a stink.

However, I note that your article contains the following phrases:

“monologue on the tirade of woman’s mobility”
“who appeared to have camaraderie with each other”
“daring proximity”
“he grabbed the lad with his neck”
“he broke into a fit of ass-whopping of the lad”
“understandably a misjudgment that should not get you in so much trouble for”

in addition to perhaps a score of other grammatical errors and incongruities.

Your habitually turgid, ungrammatical and malapropism-ridden prose will do nothing to advance your cause. In places it comes across as comic, which was surely not your intention here.

It’s a pity that these faults mar your otherwise good article. You have described with sensitivity and insight both the tumult of your own feelings and the way you perceived the attitudes of the other actors in this sorry drama. You clearly had something worth saying; it deserved to be said better.

``Understanding full well that chauvinists thrive on women’s passivity, I learned to give in to my indignity and forgo the fight of telling random men off.``
I did not understand this line.Can you explain please, aisha?

That is like saying joto dosh nando ghosh ...tranlation ALL the faults of the world is due to Ghosh

There is no eveteasing in Saudi Arabia or even in afghanistan

``(He thinks I am Syed), he broke into a fit of ass-whopping of the lad, where he asserted who exactly ``
How one knows without oneself calling one ..is it written on the forhead?
