Good to see a woman. My urge to reply gave way to a yearning to engage in conversation. But for your last comment, I would have assumed belligerence on your part. Theoretical machinery has very limited application. People who are constantly exposed to it may tend to overlook this. It can evoke the same effect as that of the communists of Kozhanasseri (Vijayan, Khazak) in situations where it is not very fitting. Occupational hazard for you! The question of sexism was raised earlier. But Devika's whole reply is all about two sets of pairs, which I nay both. "Please do remember that 'whore' acquires its connotations precisely when set against the assumed purity of the 'chaste wife' etc." No I don't remember. The types and pair are yours, not mine. Myself a ജാരന്, (jaran, the Malayalam word originally a fornicator now has milder sense; for anandpat's information)I prefer about women what Lady Chatterley author said. "If a woman hasn't got a tiny streak of harlot in her, she's a dry stick as a rule." (I know I am playing into your hands and you can give me stick for that.) The same thing for the whorish/virgin Kerala. I don't know what neo-liberalism is because I am not interested in it. My interest was about the spread of misinformation (stupidity, in fact) and shameless hustling of Kerala through the sarkari websites. But now I know that I stepped on many toes in the process and I am happy about that.
