Cue all kinds of posts on message boards about how great women are and how much better they are than men. Why is it that we need to denigrate others to prove to ourselves how good we are?
My favourite bugbear is Board exams' results - where there are blaring headlines saying something about "girls outshine boys yet again". Whether the statistics actually prove this or not is a different story, what I am cribbing about is the necessity for the media to shout about this - what is the point that they are trying to make? It makes as much sense to me as saying that people whose names being with the character A outshine people whose names don't begin with A. It may be true, but what's it that you are trying to convey?
And now we will see all the rehashed lists of top women in India, actresses and politicians and businesswomen.
