And after news of demand of 1.5 crore (the 10% cut) from Ayesha Siddiqui, the saga deepens further: Ayesha Siddiqui could have framed other men too in past Chicago-based businessman Feroze Jalal says Ayesha Siddiqui is no pained wife, and that she tried to con him the same way she ‘framed’ Shoaib Malik. Hyderabad is my hometown —which I will soon be visiting, probably in June. I’m currently settled in Chicago with my wife. When I read the news about Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik and his alleged link up with the Hyderabad based-Ayesha Siddiqui, what immediately struck me was the name of the woman — since I’ve known her, and had a similar experience, many years back. And in light of that experience, I feel that Ayesha may well have framed Shoaib. What has happened with Shoaib is … [Read more...] about Ayesha Siddiqui could have tried trapping other men in past

In Sania Mirza-Shoaib Malik episode, some people think about it as marriage of celebrities, some think about whether it will do something good to Indo-Pak relations and so on.

Feminists’ myths about domestic violence being busted
Newer Perspectives on Domestic Violence That domestic violence is a preserve of men is demolished by this data on lesbian couples: Nor is the incidence of DV among lesbian cohorts minimal. In fact, abuse among lesbians occurs with far greater frequency than among heterosexuals (given as 24% by the study above), and far more frequently than male-on-female abuse. Estimates of abuse have ranged between 47% and 73% (Coleman, 1990; Bologna, Waterman, Dawson, 1987; Lie. et al. 1991) among lesbian subjects who responded to questionnaires assessing prevalence of some form of physical, sexual, or emotional-psychological abuse in at least one relationship. Estimates of verbal abuse in lesbian relationships have been as high as 95% (Kelly & Warshafsky, 1987). About half of lesbian subjects who … [Read more...] about Feminists’ myths about domestic violence being busted

The judge has for obvious reasons declined to comment on whether the same situation of discrimination, … [Read more...] about Delhi High Court does historical justice to women by invoking the constitution
Why marriage is a losing game for urban men?
The social reality for any kind of marriage has changed in India, I think after year 2001 or so. (Maybe it coincided with large scale job creation for middle classes). Now, a woman who earns 1/3rd income of husband and gets housework done through maids etc paid for by husband; still thinks she is in some way superior to husband. This is the effect of financial freedom (read parasitic freedom) and easy social environment for women in large cities at least. Some women may actually be doing good work in managing both career and household, but the point I am making is not about contribution to family, but about respect for both spouses in marriage. For example these days in urban areas, if a woman earns 5K per month, hubby earns 15K per month. The power equation is not same as if woman … [Read more...] about Why marriage is a losing game for urban men?
