To see someone known doing it, the friend I mentioned here, had only one daughter and had been a rebel of sorts during younger days, demanding 'equal' right for girls.<br />First of all I think it's never about equal rights, It's always about absolute total human rights, and secondly the rights should not be demanded just for a temporary convenience, we should be able to stand up to our values when required, not succumbing to the convenience factor one more time..in this case convenience of not having to bring up a girl child and not having to bother about dowry. How ridiculous.sangeetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091803798460651759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148759822796779114.post-79139997060784999032012-05-16T06:45:55.940+05:302012-05-16T06:45:55.940+05:30Very hypocritic.

A friend of my husband's is currently thinking of aborting a foetus, if its a girl, as he has 2 daughters, and I am so so mad. They have 2 daughters, which is what their reason is. But this is not a method or an option, that is what people need to understand. You can just try, thats the only method.Aathira Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11255345206244009650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148759822796779114.post-80721249124540233862012-05-15T19:19:12.835+05:302012-05-15T19:19:12.835+05:30I agree.

I have seen more of this kind unfortunately.

We all saw how the AIIMS presented a paper and started the trend and let the haathi out. Now any effort is like getting hold of the tail. We are very fast turning into a society of selfish and bratty people who want only our convenience. We are ably aided in this quest by the fake activists as you so rightly call them and the media. If we end up doing everything to make US feel good, why do we need anyone including our families? Parents only to fund your fancies and fetch and carry for you? Tell me how many so called young women who want to do their own thing and be independent pull their weight when they go home? They make their mothers do their work. These women are the ones who are working for other women?

Human psychology is complex for sure , but in this case this woman was an only child .. someone you watch over the years and you understand....i don't think it was self hatred , cannot be when someone thinks he/she is always right and every demand is rightful. Duties are conveniently forgotten.<br /><br />This example was just incidental and i have seen many who play ignorant when it's their turn to act or decide....personal conveniences are way more important for many of us... isn't it?sangeetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091803798460651759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148759822796779114.post-74943670923969205302011-10-05T17:19:25.096+05:302011-10-05T17:19:25.096+05:30Never understood such attitudes, but I think some ...Never understood such attitudes, but I think some of it is a result of self hatred. Hearing everybody around her say (or convey) that daughters are a burden hurt when she was herself a daughter, but now that she is safely out of being only a daughter, she wants the convenience of avoiding a 'burden'.. just thinking aloud. <br /><br />All the activism and aggression was perhaps a half-hearted, half-convinced way of trying to exonerate herself from her biggest sin, of being born a woman. But she was never convinced that she was no less (or more) than anybody else.
