The day started off very badly for Gal – in midst of her final project, her prof asked her class to bring a smiley which represents their dominant character. She then, sets her fingers on Yahoo Messenger and to her surprise she could associate couple of icons , not with her but on celebrities of Tamil Cinema . Here are some of her discoveries from top to bottom:

Super Star

Prabhu @ Potato

Manoj @ Bharthiraja’s offspring – TEETH, the only prominent feature on his face

Last but not least, None other than KAMAL !!!

Ultimately , Gal through this assignment , learnt that it’s always easier to match others with a smiley than her mysterious self

Does myth really make females inferior than male? If so, how? – Gal, a complete novice on feminism, in her philosophy class, tries to understand as her prof mumbles.

“In the past, women’s inferior physical strength coupled with her status as child bearer allowed her little opportunity to engage in productive work or to think intellectually. Men thus looked upon woman as other.

As civilization developed, men discovered the way to control women was by creating myths about them. In these myths, women fulfill everything that men lack. She becomes a chameleon who is as changeable as nature. Characteristic among the myths is urging the ideal women to negate or in some way deny herself.
1.Woman exist to make her man feel virile.
2.Woman gives up being what she wants to be so her man can be what he wants to be
3.Woman is the handmaid not only of God, but also of man
4.Woman has the burden of quilt – if her love is strong enough, she can make or break her man
5.Woman risks life and limb in a passionate attempt to save her lover from ruin, prison, or death.

Historically, men has oppressed women because of his fear and distrust of feminine nature. As creator of life, woman is mystery. She is the awesome mother-goddess. She is also animal-being unable to control her own reproductive process. Woman is bound to nature, doomed to immanence.”

Reflecting her thoughts, Gal feels that men could not create civilization without freeing himself from feminine mystery. But, objectifying the mysterious does not make women inherently inferior
