Success is the Best Revenge

What a wonderful story! Thanks for sharing it with us.

“For Neera, the memory of her husband’s cruelty remains a “nightmare”. He had a respectable job but was a philanderer, prone to domestic violence. After the birth of her first child, a girl named Shubhra, he made her life a misery. When she became pregnant again, seven years later, Neera clung to the hope that if the baby was a boy her marriage could be saved. Instead she had Pooja. Her husband and his relatives refused to visit the baby in hospital. ”

I find it interesting that you focus on that point, when you should be focusing on the fact that the husband was a complete douche from the first child before they had Pooja. This is about long dead traditions that need to change, and to stop living in the medieval times where sex or deformity has nothing to do with the individual. The fact that your against women to have free choice over being able to support and raise a child when they can barley survive on their own is just as oppressive as the father that demanded a son. I’m just glad she got herself away from that dead beat dad and idiot relatives to make a life for her and her children.

mikos: thanks for making me laugh.

I can’t claim to understand the value in beauty pageants, but I think there is very real value that may come from her winning this contest. She was unwanted as a baby due to her gender, but by winning a national contest (any contest) she will hopefully further the cause of other young women who might not have been wanted.

Yes, it was a just beauty contest, but it is prestigious nonetheless and hopefully changes some of the gender based perceptions in her society.

This is like a bad Lifetime movie. MEN BAD!!! WOMEN GOOD!!! NO MATTER WHAT WOMAN DO, WOMAN GOOD!!! The father wanted the child destroyed after it was born. I agree he is bad. So, if the MOTHER wanted to abort her child (a month earlier, still inside her) then she is GOOD!!! It’s HER choice, she is GOOD!!! Thank you, I will be communing with other likewise pro-life troll dolls. You can slice this anyway you want, tell yourself stories to make yourself feel better, rationalize till your hair falls out, but at the end of the day, if you abort, you have to pay for it the rest of your life.
