I did not say that women should be allowed to come to work in skimpy clothes! obviosuly that's not right!<BR/><BR/>But then, when you define the "length" the sleeves that you are "allowed" to wear, don't you think it's too much!<BR/><BR/>As I said before a work place is a place where you come when you are atleast 22 years old. ANd I feel that by that age atleast you know what is right to wear to office and what's appropriate to wear for a night club. If on top of that, somebody wears in-appropriate clothes to work.. doesn;t it make sense to talk to that individual and "educate" her? rather than putting a set of rules for everbody else!<BR/><BR/>And coming to men.. well the less said the better! I do agree that there are quite a few well dressed people around ... but gosh most of them don't even iron their clothes! But still they are allowed becasue the rules said "full armed shirts"! they didn't mention about pressed ones or the clean ones!<BR/>People don't even take bath leave along have a clean shave.. and their socks oh my GOD! they stink like anything!<BR/>ANd my own friends are not ashamed of that.. infact they "proudly" say that they are unclean!<BR/><BR/>See again I am not pointing fingers at the male community.. if they are happy living that way.. let them be it's none of my business! <BR/><BR/>But all these things are readily accpeted when it's a guy in picture.. but then if it's a girl! then there are hazar restrictions! and that's what puts me off!!!!Sharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988390811396242179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20299555.post-1149018450645560462006-05-30T12:47:00.000-07:002006-05-30T12:47:00.000-07:00@WB: First of all I never mentioned America specif...@WB: First of all I never mentioned America specifically.<BR/>Also, my post was NOT to compare different cultures.<BR/>I am proud of my culture, and so are americans of theirs!<BR/>That's not what I was talking about!<BR/>I feel that "how" a woman should dress is "her" wish and not somebody else's!!!<BR/>You proved my point perfectly, how can you say that women look beautiful (ok! hindustan women) only in sarees? Nopes I don't agree to that.<BR/>See, again you are seeing Women as an object of "beauty". Not as just another human being.<BR/><BR/>And, there's nothing wrong in changing ourselves for the better! If our "women-restricted" culture didn't change in 10 years, then please... 11th year is a high time to change!<BR/>And there's nothing to be afraid of "loosing" our culture! Cultures are evolved with times, for the betterment of the society :)<BR/><BR/>Do you still go to work/college on bare foot? Nopes! you wear Nike/Reebook shoes right? That is a kond of also accepting "foreign" culture!<BR/>So why not this?Sharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988390811396242179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20299555.post-1148040855777083282006-05-19T05:14:00.000-07:002006-05-19T05:14:00.000-07:00The truth is that women in India are least respect...The truth is that women in India are least respected.

Now there are two things -<BR/>1. Someone bossing over you/Illogical policies of a company<BR/>2. Dress you were<BR/><BR/>The first point is what usually makes people frustrated, second point is just an instigation point to let out that frustration.<BR/><BR/>Logic is very subjective thing, sounds odd right, if it is subjective then it is not logic you may feel. But just think about it, you can give for and against reasons for any policy. Celebrating valentines day and asking some volunteer to give a rose someone I like is as stupid as it can get.<BR/><BR/>It is my personal thing, why the hell should my company bother about it. We can have list going on and on for things like this.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hardu - "Men" "Women" "Indian", again leading to generalization.

Where did this come from.<BR/><BR/>A more high level fundae, bit off on current discussion. Why do we tend to generalize everything, things are done by specific people, you can associate lot of general logic to why someone behave like that, culture, caste, education, sex etc. <BR/><BR/>We cannot generalize stuff based on actions of few people and also what makes you think women are more respected here, have you ever heard any hip hop song, I have not seen such cheap comments about women in India. uff I have started to generalize again.<BR/><BR/>Now regarding proper attrire for women, I totally agree with Sharks view point, even I do not like to be bossed over. But let us give some credit to those guys who defined the rules, they are trying to build some standards, I am not saying it is right, but idea behind it may be noble.<BR/><BR/>My 2 cents, if you are able to carry off yourself well, the definition of attrire does not matter. Saree or micros, you can look exploitable in either, it is more of what you are, than what you wearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20299555.post-1147360163308088512006-05-11T08:09:00.000-07:002006-05-11T08:09:00.000-07:00@Prakash: Guess both of us are hoping for too much...@Prakash: Guess both of us are hoping for too much...;-)Sharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988390811396242179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20299555.post-1147274800304385152006-05-10T08:26:00.000-07:002006-05-10T08:26:00.000-07:00As of now it's only in India...As of now it's only in India...Sharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988390811396242179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20299555.post-1147273172355433752006-05-10T07:59:00.000-07:002006-05-10T07:59:00.000-07:00Even in the US????

Nothing more than that.<BR/><BR/>As you said it is always a women who is asked to change.<BR/><BR/>I guess this post came up after our depressing chat discussion yesterday?
