Bharkha Dutt is a Feminist

I read this article Ungodly Barriers on NDTV authored by their Brand Barkha Dutt, which is soo funny. Hahahaha.. No one is against women flying combat aircrafts provided that they don't have their "periods" while flying and they are not having a back ache or a headache. We all know thats its a problem. Imagine, wartime and a woman pilot flying Sukhoi and her periods make her moods swing so much that she bombs her own country!!! or simply, may be shez not confident to fly at all. Now I'm making it more funny, but honestly, I don't think men and women are different at all. But I believe equality comes from the family. It comes from education and economic freedom. As long as women dont educate themselves and earn money to may be feed their home bound husbands, I don't think real equality will come by. Making and issue out of two unrelated incidents only serves NDTV and the Brand Barkha Dutt. It doesn't serve her fellow "behnein"(sisters)

Lets think about relation of two incidents - a Women Army officer committing suicide apparently due to dis-appointment with job and about the issue of menstrually active women being dis-allowed from praying at the Sabrimala temple in Kerela. Are these incidents related? I dont think so. And I'm no one to comment on religion and its rules. Religion is not above law and law is not above religion but if a community is ready to follow a practice, why do you want to divide them? What are you trying to achieve? May be Moksha from journalism. :)
