	GuyOutHere writes "In this Times of India letter to the editor, the writer makes some wild suggestions about social engineering through state taxation, all in the name of 'female empowerment'." Click "Read more..." for more.

	"Towards the end of the letter the writer states: "Some will ask, why discriminate against men? . . . to reverse historical gender discrimination" and "Social engineering is often best done by measures with low immediate impact (thus avoiding sabotage), but sufficient long-term impact to change power relations." Nice to see she's not afraid of telling the truth about her manipulative suggestions!"

Not as bad as sweden (Score:1) by Indiana Jones on 05:07 PM April 23rd, 2005 EST (#1) I wouldn't worry about it too much, it's India, where 80% of the power is held by men. It will not only pass, but her radical feminism will be shunned on by the Hindu society. Even in Sweden, a much more radical feminist country, Gundrun Schyman became hugely unpopular with her "man-tax." Infact, the bill didn't even get to parliment debate before being thrown out. Her work is only more detrimental in radical feminim. BTW, the tax for men and women is different in India, not the same 30%. All female gets a 2000 rupee rebate when she turns 50.

men's issues comment (Score:1) by Blackmanx on 08:17 AM April 24th, 2005 EST (#2) This is really interesting. It's also alarming how biased the world is becoming against men. When will men rise up, look at the misandrists and say : "No More !" I hope I live to see it happen. I discovered a place where men can discuss their issues. http://groups.msn.com/MalePositivePlace/homepage
