Kiran garu, I still say that that comment was unnecessary and beats the purpose.
Bottomline - women, society, parents of boys need to know that reckless behavior of man wrecks family. Society needs to demand responsible behavior from both men and women. Women get plenty of moral education. Let men start getting some too. Let them not point at some exceptional cases of women and gain sympathy. If there are exceptional cases of women going the wrong way, they suffer hell and do not even get a second chance. So, even considering such exceptions is not worthy. lalitha. --- NaChaKi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > << Please be more considerate to women. >> > > Lalitha gaarU, > > I'm no indifferent to women!
