Interesting article Richard, thank you.

I live in India, which I know, already seems bad enough... tell some people you’re an Indian woman and they look at you with something resembling pity, lol.

Yet I think I have a relatively good life. I wouldn’t change any of it, except perhaps the quality of the air that I get to breathe in Mumbai. And the traffic. And the theatre. I could go on... but none of it would have to do with the way I feel as a woman.

And then you look around and so see much blatant gender-based aggression and repression, it makes me wonder how crazy we all must be. Think about it; it is our world, after all. We all take from it and give to it in equal measure. As a woman, I often wonder if I’m not contributing to all of this in the tiniest way each time I decide to ignore a sleazy look over from some random guy. I react only when I perceive a real physical threat, which might be selfish, do you think?

Makes you wonder; where does one draw the line, how much aggression is enough to merit a reaction, and how much is too little to react to? At which point does it all start building up into a gender discrimination stockpile?

I think most women struggle with this question of where to draw the line; and with striking a balance between being party to both, the perpetration and the prevention of gender discrimination.
