Woman Power

Kanimozhi is quite a delight to watch! She is a corrupt politician who has built wealth on her father’s gains but is also a WOMAN.
I love the way Kanimozhi does what most of us women do when confronted with disaster. We weep copious tears, look appropriately pathetic and whine that we are mothers and need to get back home to our kids. Kanimozhi ofcourse has bigger issues .She does not want to spend time in the jail because like every working woman she leads a tough life - she works during the day, she has to run errands, cook dinner for the family and put her kids to bed after singing them a lullaby.
Now is she to blame? Ofcourse not! She is only doing what most of us women excel at. Bad mood - blame it on PMS; depressed after a baby - post partum blues ;putting on weight - it's the hormones; feeling low and fatigued - mid life crisis; angry at husband - well, a woman’s life is a bitch!
When we get caught skipping a red light, each one of us can act demure and coy in front of the traffic guy and while bargaining hard,a little flirtatious behaviour with the seller never hurt anyone .But when we are caught out at something, our moral indignation is very high - I am a woman, why would I do something like that?I am a wife, a mother. I am an honourable woman - how dare you cast aspersions on my milky white character?I am not that type of a woman!
Only we women know what nasty bitches we can be. We are as good as men when it comes to lying, cheating, siphoning money off, gossiping, deceiving and other vices! But if we are the weaker sex, why should we not shed tears, resort to hysteria and use all womanly wiles to ease out of a situation? Way to go Kanimozhi - you are on the right track woman!

think of all that stress inducing multi-tasking that she can put behind just by living in a 4x4 for some time.
