hmm, the wicked witch of the west, the cruel stepsisters, the quintessentially evil pallavi of kahani ghar ghar ghar.....havent u noticed hw the most evil manifestations of evil as in implied evil are women.....wht does this indicate to you??
i have been battling with this question for ages now and till last week hadnt come across any reasonable, feasible explanation....until the da vinci code happened....suddenly everything fell in place....u see, Dan Brown explains all this- the degradation of the feminine form over the centuries to a part of the church's propoganda to perpetuate the divinity of christ.....i dont knw hw true or correct this is, but it sure is an interesting insight!!
this brings me to the indian version of things- the sanctity of the devi- the daughter or the bahu being a "devi".....ostentatiously very feminine oriented but practically this belief being mocked at every single day by our actions.....so wht does tht make- ppl who choose to ignore wht they knw or imbecicles who dont knw??
all said and done, my question remains unanswered!!
any answers??
