The Gay Marriage issue has hotted up in The US, the case has reached The Supreme Court for hearing and is being hotly debated.
The Supreme Court,US To hear Gay Marriage.
What has hitherto an aberration in Behavior, has been taken as sanctioned socially.
They may not agree that it has never been an aberration.
The whole issue snowballed into a Legal and Constitutional Controversy because California vetoed Gay Marriage and a Couple (Gay) have approached the Court for marriage.
What beats me is the argument that the Homosexuals couples want to be treated on par with hetero sexual couples!
The very terms used to denote these groups distinctly is, because of their difference, behaviour.
It is like making a Circle equal to a Square!
What exactly are these people demanding now?
To be treated on par with hetero sexual Family and the benefits?
You want the approval of the Society?
You did not listen to the objection of the majority, normal one at that,of going Homosexual, citing all and sundry arguments to justify not-normal behaviour!
You went ahead.
Why do you seek approval from the Society , only to claim the benefits from the Society?
Or respect and regards from the people?
This is obtained by vilification or arguments but by adhering to Social Norms.
Since you chose a different path, have a set of rules and benefits among yourselves for yourselves.
Well. you can not eat the cake and have it too.
Story:
Inside the court’s ornate chambers, some justices wanted to slow things down.
“You want us to step in and render a decision based on an assessment of the effects of this institution, which is newer than cellphones or the Internet?” Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. asked. “We do not have the ability to see the future.”
Even Justice Sonia Sotomayor, whose questioning indicated that she was skeptical of the reasons proffered for why gay couples should not be allowed to marry, seemed to think that it might not be time for the court to make a bold decision.
“If the issue is letting the states experiment and letting the society have more time to figure out its direction, why is taking a case now the answer?” she asked.
A ‘difficult question’
Sotomayor’s question indicated the complicated nature of the case at hand.
Washington lawyer Charles J. Cooper is representing proponents of Proposition 8 in defending the law, since California officials have refused. He said the court should respect the decision of California voters, who faced the “agonizingly difficult question” of whether to protect traditional marriage after the state Supreme Court ruled that gay couples could wed.
Theodore B. Olson, representing two California couples who want to marry, wants Proposition 8 overturned. But he is also pushing the court to find that the Constitution demands that the fundamental right to marry be extended to same-sex couples nationwide.
United for Marriage has organizeddozens of pro-gay marriage eventsacross the nation Tuesday, many with the aid of Episcopal, United Church of Christ, Methodist, Unitarian Universalist and other congregations.
Meanwhile, anti-same sex marriage groups, including the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Family Research Council and the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, have also made broad calls, each asking for prayers this week in support of keeping laws that bar same-sex marriage on the books.
It had a Professional teaching manners explaining the writer on the above subject.
Manners,
It conveyed the point that women of the day are not being polite as they were before.
They swear too much.
They wear skimpy Dresses.
Women are bitchy at their work place.
Let’s see how women have changed in India in the last 20 years,in my experience.
The first thing that comes to my mind is that they call their Husbands by Name and use Singular in Public which was unthinkable.
I think some of the women of the Day are also uncomfortable, as my daughter confirmed.
This becomes an embarrassment when their small child addresses both byName and Singular!
I have seen them squirm.
Dressing the less they wear, the more ogling eyes, but it leaves the essential of Sex, Mystery!
As a wag remarked ‘a completely Nude woman is an ungainly sight!’
The absence of Coyness and courtship in Love.
I am not too sure how many women know the meaning of the term ‘coy”
The word is nearly dead.
Approaching girl, following her)not stalking) imaging one’s life with her was thrilling and a pleasure.
Now see, take out and ….?
Yet they remain the same.
Usual nagging, not allowing Husband’s relatives as freely as they would theirs,
Comparing their Status with all and sundry including their sisters( brothers are not in this list) and being jealous.
Possessive about their children and Husband.
Taking care of them.
Eternally dissatisfied with their Husband’s their Status.
Accumulation of junk at Home.
On Sexual behavior . I think that it remains the same as it was.
The only difference is that the News is spreads quicker and you have no place to hide!
Story:
“Being a lady today is about the same principles it always was – there are just different expectations,” Hanson explains with a smile. “It’s all about elegance and confidence and the behaviour doesn’t need to be something straight out of a Jane Austen novel.”
In a nutshell – being a lady to Hanson is about treating people with respect, having self respect (so not being drunk and disorderly) and having your own personality – but not being abrupt with people (as he so often thinks people are today). And all of these traits are to be taken into the workplace, instead of the home – which is where the majority of women spend the bulk of their time…..
he thinks that the demise of manners and society’s treatment of each other, has affected men and women equally. Hanson doesn’t long for the days when women were chained to the kitchen sink. He longs for everyone to remember the importance of social grace.
“Manners are all about putting other people at ease and thinking about others,” he says simply. “We have become increasingly selfish as a society.” And it is this vision I can buy into – as I find myself sitting up a little straighter as we talk…
What do women do today that they shouldn’t?
But seriously, what does Hanson think is specifically ‘unladylike’ about modern women’s behaviour today?
“I think women are swearing too much. I think they are drinking too much and I see them regularly falling into gutters on nights out. It’s fine to drink, but not to the point where you can’t control yourself,” he explains. And it is at this point I start to bristle a little.
“I also think women are sharing too much today. I was sat on the train the other day and a woman got on board and began talking very loudly about her private life on her phone. The whole carriage learned everything about her existence.”
He then also shares with me the rules around skirt length. Apparently a lady should never really wear any garment which is comes up higher than the knee. On the knee is fine and so is slightly above – but you must be wearing tights, preferably dark ones…
Hanson assures me the rules of engagement and society that he teaches cross to the place of work – but I am not too convinced on this on. I believe women in the workplace are all too often accused of being hard, or aggressive when trying to get across their points in difficult scenarios – an insult not directed at men – when making similar points in similar tones.
I am assured that the documentary host, Rachel Johnson, shares this concern. How can ‘one’ be a lady and a hard-ass at work – the two don’t seem to mix.
Hanson advises women to always keep their cool and keep their voices controlled in all scenarios. This will always reap the best outcome. But what about passion I counter? What about those moments when you need to row, both at home and in the workplace? Can you still be considered a ‘lady’ if and when you need to fight?
A survey conducted on International Women’s day is revealing as it blows away some myths and explains that satisfaction with Life is not related to material comforts.
Where the West feels its Statistics are not comfortable for them especially against their illusion of grandeur ,they go to lengths to justify their record by calling the Countries names!
Some findings are really Weird and confusing.
Women seem to have the Best of Life in New Zealand.
But Women in the Middle East are most satisfied with their Health.
The West can not accept this,
The explanation is ‘ but that could be because health care access in those countries is lower across the board, so sickness is equal-opportunity:”
According to Gallup , the countries where women feel safest walking around alone at night aren’t the ones you’d think: Georgia, Rwanda and Singapore top that list, but only because their more rigid governments keep a close watch on things:
Many of the countries on this list — including Rwanda, Tajikistan, and Laos — are authoritarian regimes in which security forces exercise a high degree of control over the population, suggesting that in some cases personal security may come at the expense of personal freedoms.’
West Comment:
”
Women feel safest in the tiny, former-Soviet country of Georgia:
Women Physical and Emotional Health.
Women Feel Safe.

Women feel safe in Poor Countries.
”
Think it’s safer to live in a richer country? Not really. Women in poorer countries are actually likelier to feel safe, but then again, definitions of “feeling safe” aren’t exactly universal:
Standards for personal security may also be much lower in developing than in developed countries, which helps explain why many low-income countries appear high on the list.”
The conception of the West is that Japan Women are being subjected to Domestic violence is also blown.
Analyzing data from 10 countries, the World Health Organization found that cities in Japan and rural areas in Peru represent the extremes of domestic violence (though to be fair, the survey didn’t measure very many Central Asian, European or North American countries):
The proportion of women who had ever suffered physical violence by a male partner ranged from 13 percent in Japan to 61 percent in provincial Peru. The most common act of violence experienced by women was being slapped by their partner, from 9 percent in Japan to 52 percent in provincial Peru. This was followed by being struck with a fist, for which these two settings again represented the extremes (2 percent and 42 percent, respectively).”
Surprise;
Rwanda has the most women in public office
Out of 190 countries , Rwanda, Cuba, Andorra and Sweden have the most female representatives in their congress or parliament. More than half of Rwanda’s lower house is female. Palau, Qatar and Vanuatu are near the bottom of the list, while the U.S. is near the middle, at 77th place.”
The first National Women’s Day was celebrated on March 8, 1909, a day designated by the Socialist Party of America to honor of the 1908 garment workers’ strike in New York. From there, the day expanded internationally to include women’s movements agitating for the right to vote, work, and hold public office. It joined with other movements working to topple the Czarist regime in Russia and protest World War I. In some places, it’s even a public holiday. (In 1965, the Soviet Union declared March 8 a non-working day “in commemoration of outstanding merits of the Soviet women in communistic construction.”)
In honor of International Women’s Day somewhat left-leaning origins, here’s a look at the countries where work, life and health conditions for women are the best. There’s no clear stand-out country or region, but in general, it seems like you’d be better off somewhere in either Scandinavia or Southern Europe. Peru (and the U.S.) don’t come off that well, but New Zealand and even Rwanda might not be a bad option:
Women in New Zealand have the best working lives:
The Economist created an index showing the countries where women are most likely to be treated equally at work, based on the labor-force participation rate, the wage gap, the proportion of women in senior jobs and child care cost compared to wages, among other factors. New Zealand comes out on top, and other notorious lady-paradises such as Finland and Sweden also score high. The countries where working women have it worst are South Korea and Japan, largely because so few women there are in top jobs. The U.S. is roughly in the middle of the pack:”..
