Re: [AI] Moderator: groups for visually impaired girls/women
No question of opposing or protesting issue is openness, my experience is that blind are extremely reluctent to discuss their problems freely, whether personal, professional or social.

Re: [AI] sanitary napkin vs tampon? threading, plucker, or waxing? oops
What is not useful? Why people feel uncomfirtable with discussion on some subjects? Which century we are living in? Also consider we can not get the benefit of visual media we must learn by sharing freely.

As you must have read, all of us women felt the same - however, i am surprised that objections were raised by other women as well, but your email only addresses me to bring objections to you. obviously as an equal member of the list, i would not appreciate if rules and displeasure was only exclusively reserved for me or expressed towards me. blindness and lack of literature on these subjects in an acessible format in the presence of google, sure if you and the monitoring team and other members think- i agree. i will definitely not retract from the other things that i said. once again, thank you for the clarification. happy to comply.

Due to keywords in the mail, this mail did not reach me as it got filtered out at our servers. Hence, I may not be able to respond quickly on this thread. Harish Kotian [AI] sanitary napkin vs tampon? threading, plucker, or waxing? oops or only electric shavers? nidhi goyal Thu, 19 Feb 2015 21:46:25 -0800 Dear all, Greetings from Mumbai. i have read the very interesting discussions going on on this list, and i would request someone to provide me with the guidelines of the list again- it seems we are pushing boundaries each time. In a very recent eenthusiastic thread active on the list i can only say that it is shocking how couple of points could be related to blindness or accessibility: -what should be done first, trimming or shaving -how much time does a shave take -if someone has a hard growth or a soft one -how to clean the blade -getting rid of the pubic hair the first one or two exchanges were okay or could be directly/indirectly related to accessibility but seriously the 37 others that followed? these are only a few out of the many objectionable contents. As a woman i can and will share my idea that this list suddenly seems like an electronic space invader. for those who dont know who space invaders are, let me tell you. they are those men who share a two seater bench with a woman and take up three quarters of that seat/bench. now why do i say that ? because the gendered discussion going on this list reflects a very strong patriarchal attitude and male hegemony. i can see how objections by women were royally ignored. it is not about personal is political but about the boundaries of a said list and where i choose to be. if Access India decides that the boundaries have changed and they are okay with gendered discussions and personal matters that concern the blind then just for a minute reflect on this. Women will absolutely bring up the accessibility of a sanitary napkin vs tampon. i am sure menstrual issues are of great concern to blind women. if toilet habits of men are okay being discussed here so should be that of women. and of course we will too indulge into enlighting discussions of whether waxing is more doable than self threading, and elaborate on how frequently will we have to do the hair removal, or which method will leave our skin soft and not let it go dark. well, i really cant miss out on personal is political. we could bring up sex positions on this list, because blindness leaves many people apprehensive about not having seen sex positions earlier and lack of that impacting their sexual lives. i work on gender, sexual rights, and disability so definitely this wont make me shy away. the point is that please tell us what is access India all about and some of us will be happy to

There are some brothers and sisters in the society, who are born with certain disabilities. God forgets to give them certain things. That is negligence on the part of God and for that the child has to suffer for entire life, Parsekar said. Therefore, NGOs like Disability Rights Association of Goa (DRAG) have come into existence. The thing which God could not do, they are doing. They are rectifying the mistake committed by God. I would say NGOs' work is more than that of God, he added. The chief minister was speaking at the inauguration of 'We Care Film Festival' on disability issues organised by DRAG at Margao town around 35 kms from Panaji Wednesday morning. However, after the event, DRAG condemned chief minister's remarks, stating that the disabled were born to show the power of God. CM Parskear, while speaking at the inauguration of 'We Care Film Festival' on disability at Chowgule college, Margao has said disabled people are mistake of God and NGOs are doing yeoman service by serving the disabled in rectifying God's mistake, DRAG chief Avelino D'Sa said in a statement in Panaji. DRAG strongly objects to this statement and clarified that if God has created a person disabled it is to show people the power of God. Disabled people have more strength and will power and they are differently-abled, hence they are stronger than the normal people, he added. Parsekar's comments came at a time when his cabinet colleague Ramesh Tawadkar had courted a controversy last week when he said that the state would set up centres to make LGBT people normal.
