A questioning woman, or a woman who chooses to apply her mind, makes some people uncomfortable. People are quick to take umbrage when the “modesty of a woman is outraged”, but have no qualms about belittling her. They see no harm in it and consider it part of Darwinian Socialism. Ms. Subrahmanian is absolutely right (“Doublespeak on women’s rights,” Dec. 11) when she says, “A woman is as much body as she is mind and soul”.

It is an irony that even women leaders of political parties ignore their responsibilities in protecting the women and their dignity. Politics and power appear to be more important for our leaders than the dignity of women and it is very unfortunate.
