Even today, and in the supposedly most advanced country in the world, female oppression is a social constant. After listening to Trump speaking about women, and seeing the millions of American men who applaud these comments, do you have any doubts about their attitudes towards women? I don't. The oppression of women has been and is historical constant down in ages and the world over.

Disha dear,
Loved your Bappi Lahiri crack. And if some of those ghastly corkscrew curls had been chopped off in the fighting, why, she would have only looked better!

I was greatly amused by your reference to female oppression coming in "very slowly" and your wondering till when you could tolerate it. Where are you living, child? On some other planet?

So what do you expect in the 4th century BC? It is Padmanand who is a remarkable exception, and I love the way Arpit plays the doting father, for all that his features are so rough and tough.

I do agree that women are women's worst enemies because most of us do not want another woman to say too much or give too much advice especially in a TV serial and especially to the male protagonist because it sounds like bhashangiri. Same thing in a man and we'll be drooling.

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">I quite agree with you on the Trump and Hitler comment, my dear Devki. It was an off the cuff remark that is unsustainable.
Hitler was a monster in every sense of the term, someone who reduced mass murder to an assembly line process. That was what set the horrors of the Third Reich apart from other pogroms down the ages, for Mao, for example, was responsible for the deaths of over 55 million Chinese, but he did not have them gassed in oven and have his officials work to improve the efficiency of the ovens.
Trump is a loud mouthed vulgarian and an ignoramus on most things, and I am seriously concerned about his presidency, but he can hardly be equated with Hitler, wh0 was pure evil.
Yes, women are at times their worst enemies, as in the saas-bahu equation, but as for the rest, I would go with Sandhya.

Do not want to bring any negativity into this thread and forum nor do I want to derail this thread but the bold above is a ridiculous statement to say the least.Obviously some of us have absolutely no clue as to what Hitler did to compare him withTrump. Please do not whitewash Hitler's crime against humanity just because you do not like Trump and disagree with his stand on certain issues. People really need to step back, take a deep breath and stop with such hyperbolic statements.I, being a minority in America do see truth in some of the things Trump has said even though I am not a supporter and do not even like him.I do agree that women are women's worst enemies because most of us do not want another woman to say too much or give too much advice especially in a TV serial and especially to the male protagonist because it sounds like bhashangiri. Same thing in a man and we'll be drooling.Trump is not the only misogynist.Again, apologize for this rant Aunty.Devki

Ofcourse Hitler's atrocities cannot be undermined and I most certainly did not mean that. And I apologize if that's what was understood by my post.Everybody is free to give their opinion.Im not sure if you're aware though,but a lot of people have found similarities in terms of the ideology from which such extreme racism emerges . And that's what helped Hitler initially to rise to power. That's what I was actually referring to. Not the actual act of violence itself. Anyway maybe I exaggerated and for that I apologize I had no attention of offending anyone.Trump is ofcourse not the only misogynist. That's exactly what I said. People who voted for him support this ideology. That means there are so many of them.And I disagree with @blue. Even if there were such women,I'm not one among them. I personally believe in equality among men and women and don't understand why its necessary to degrade one gender to uplift the other. That's what I actually meant. And nobody likes to be preached upon by a person who themselves do nothing,irrespective of gender.Im sorry<font color="#ff0000">Shyamala aunty</font>,but I honestly didn't intend to offend anyone. I shall delete the comment if its causing negativity in the thread.
