whoa... the paragraph that i quoted below is particularly interesting...who knew!
Quoted:
A woman can’t switch her phone’s Bluetooth feature on in a public place without receiving a barrage of the love poems and soft-touch photos of flowers and small children which many Saudi men keep stored on their phones for purposes of flirtation. And last year, Al Arabiya reported that some young Saudis have started buying special “electronic belts,” which use Bluetooth technology to discreetly beam the wearer’s cellphone number and e-mail address at passing members of the opposite sex.

once again, India's policies for women in politics are far better than many places in the "developed" world.

During my decades in civil-rights, anti-war, and contemporary women’s movements, I’ve avoided writing another specific “Goodbye . . .” But not since the suffrage struggle have two communities—joint conscience-keepers of this country—been so set in competition, as the contest between Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) and Barack Obama (BO) unfurls. So.
