whats real interesting is the mix of articles on the page. above this one is a classic starter document informing women how they miss out on the fun because they have to be ladylike and how the men are having lots of fun being free (never realizing that men actually have more contstraints in their behavior! and even less selection in dress and dispensation to wear what they like. right now its 87 in the office. something broke down last night. the ladies are in sleevless shirts and skirts with flip flops.. i HAVE to wear, long pants, socks, shoes, long sleeve shirt. but alas, there is no movement of people storming the halls of law to fight for me to be able to wear something other than such attire - i would not bet that consistency of dress may also be a factor in how much men and women earn, and not just time and other points previously discussed.

Heh... reminds me of an old joke I came up with: "I will believe that women are socially repressed when one can tell me what a crossdressing female is wearing."
Btw.. I still havn't gotten an answer to that one.
But thankfully for me, it's casual friday. I'm wearing jeans, t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up (showing off my new tat :) and workboots.

Yeah, I made a similar remark about a year ago.
I wanted to know why; when men dress in female attire they are called transvestites, but when women wear men's clothing it's called a "fashion statement"...?
No one seems to be able to ansewer my question, either. exept to say: "It's DIFFERENT."
Then of course I ask; "Why is it different?" And no one can ansewer that either.
Thundercloud.

I think the articles are meant to reflect Indian society, not American.

I am realising that Indian sociaty is not so different after all given that fact that all the facts mentioned in the article do not seem Alien

And to add such articles are extremely rare like let us say once in two to three years.

If men spoke of women in the way that men are spoken of in these articles, they would be chastised for demeaning and patronizing them. Men may not be oil paintings? Excuse me?

This article encourages women to question their own behaviour for a change, which is all too rare. However the language is not exactly male-friendly, or even non-sexist. Note that men have 'egos' but women have 'identities'. 'Ego' carries with it connotations of arrogance, boorishness and self-absorption, whereas having an 'identity' can only be a good thing.
