[QUOTE=pavalamani pragasam;797995]It is a saddening truth that this odious 'bitch' calling habit of male chauvnistic pigs at the drop of a hat is omnipresent irrespetive of social status- educationally and financially. QUOTE]

true ! and the fact that a woman who dares to differ from the norm(according to them) is perceived as being loose-moralled. was watching neeya naana the other day and was unsurprised to see a guy boldly saying that he would only pass hurtful comments on a girl who's sense of style/behaviour is inappropriate.The good( decent i believe was the word used ) girls he said would be exempt from this. what is this yardstick they use to determine inappropriate vs decent ? Frightening stuff this ... until this collective psyche changes there would be very little progress!
