Having never lived in Kerala for anymore than a few weeks, I have trouble trying to understand the culture of where I came from. There seems to be such backward ideas and notions that people just accept as truths...and nowhere is this more evident than in dealing with women. It seems that decades of feminism in the West, and even having a PM that was a woman (RIP: Indira Gandhi) doesn't seem to have put too much of a dent into the mentality of Kerala. Take a little bit of that and mix it up with the Taliban"ish" ravings of certain Muslim leaders in the province and you have yourself a real quandry. Think I'm wrong?
Exhibit A: http://www.indianexpress.com/story/211898.html
According to the student arm of Kerala's largest Muslim community organization: "Allowing boys and girls in school to sit on the same bench while writing their exams could cause “breakdown of morality” leading to “total sexual anarchy”. "
That's right...sexual ANARCHY...from sitting on the school bench together. Well this certainly seems like the natural progression of things: Girl and boy share bench, they learn together (terrible). Girl gets older discovers she wants an education. (horrible) Girl gets education and decides she wants a career (the shame of it all!). Career-minded girl, now a woman, figures out that men can't control her and begins burning bras in the street. (we definitely wouldn't want that!)
Let's get real here. Some of these backwards thinking third worlders need to get dragged kicking and screaming into the year 2007. To think that sharing a bench with boys will create the opportunity for sexual anarchy is absurd. And even if it were the case...define sexual anarchy. Does it mean that there will be more prevalence in rapes and incest? Hmm..seems to me that that is already an issue in that province. What are they really scared of? Seems to me that it is more a "control issue" than anything else.....
