Thank God it is not ! Prohibition of all exhibition of ignorance is the
best way of fostering it !
What is the harm in exposing one's ignorance if one can learn from doing
so ? If one is diffident about exposing one's ignorance and desists from
saying anything how is one to learn ? And what is the purpose of this
forum ? If this forum expects all the participants to be equally well
versed in all the topics and not to open their mouths until they are
experts at what they are writing, I am afraid I dont belong here !
I had asked for people who CAN WRITE and who UNDERSTAND FEMINISM and FEEL
FOR IT to write something themselves alongside quoting poems by
feminists.
If one can't take "kavitalu raayaalandaru" to be a simple effort at making
a poem out of an idea, and has to interpret it literally ... I have
nothing to say !
