Yet another informative anecdote from Lakshmi!  It made me think myself
about the similarities between so many cultures in that outspoken women
are always suspect - strong women are such a major threat.  The strange
thing is, they are suspect and condemned in my culture often becuase they
bear/bare similarities to male behaviour.  If this behaviour is so
questionable in one sex, it should be questionable in the other, sigh.

Amen to that!  And the contradiction quite lives on after marriage - tell
me, how is a wife treated if she appears to really enjoy sex then?  Is
this a dream come true, or more fodder for fear and gossip?  Connie
