    That was satire, right? That’s not actually someone in the year 2015 whose mind, upon pondering a “world without women”, goes right to malls, chores, and bachelors, right? Please, I’ve already read a lot of stupid today. I don’t need this added on…

    The modern Indian woman, eh?

    Trivia:
    India and Ceylon/Sri Lanka were the first nations to have female heads of government (’66 and ’60 respectively), ahead of

    Israel (’69)
    United Kingdom (’79)
    Norway (’81)
    Pakistan (’88)
    France & Bangladesh (’91)
    Poland (’92)
    Canada & Turkey (’93)
    New Zealand (’97)
    Finland (’03)
    Germany (’05)
    South Korea (’06)
    Ukraine (’07)
    Iceland (’09)
    Australia (’10)
    Denmark (’11)

    … and the United States, hopefully, one of these days.

    I guess it was the superior skills in make-up and styling that did the trick.

    My family. My entire family (except me – I’m the black sheep). I was brought up that way. My whole being fought against it until I finally had to move my own direction without my family.

    “world without women”

    That’d be extinction for humanity. Not “I am lonely and I miss the sandwiches.”

    Of all the animals on Earth I wonder if any would miss us, other than the dogs.The cats would be annoyed and inconvenienced but that’s not the same thing.

    I don’t get the point of your post. I (and Ophelia) were not mocking Indian women or India itself, we were mocking this group’s attitude towards the women of India.
