Long long ago, the snake said to Eve, don't eat the apple. And Eve, well, she HAD to eat the apple. Cut to present, traditions say, woman are not allowed into the temple. And the feminists, they HAVE TO go to the temple. And adding condiment (masala? ) to the story is the age old pot boiler of equality of sexes!< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Neither am I an MCP nor am I a feminist. I mean....I am not an extremist. Moderate to the core. But I am a stickler to traditions. To traditions which cause no harm. Say for instance, sticking to the simple tradition that woman, alright, woman in between the age of 10 and 55 are not allowed in to the sabarimala temple. Why should we question that? Wouldn't it be easier if we just let it be? A tradition thousand years old, need we break that?
Is it necessary to complicate matters thereon? To bring question of equality of sexes into picture? Is menstrual cycle dirty? Does god differentiate between men and women? Can't women be chaste and celibate? Should we discreminate woman? Phew

The blessed audacity of questioning and challenging set rules has pushed humanity forward. Which obviously doesn't excuse anyone from common sense...

Ofcourse being a man does keep us at disadvantage to take a stand on it....But extrimism (feminism in this context) is what always takes the spotlight.
