The actress of yesterday is the actor of today.
Likewise, the poetess has become the poet.
The authoress has become the author.
Now, while I'm all for women's liberation, aren't we carrying things too far? What's so liberal about spilling the gender war on to the literary arena? Ambiguity on paper hardly translates to equality in real life.

I guess I have to loosen a bit, I feel to stuffy with my self-imposed restrictions.
What's baffling is the way these feminists defend this move, especially Shabana Azmi. I mean, it's not that we men were the exclusive drafters of the language. Women played their part too.
And how can somebody consider being called an actress demeaning? It's just grammar, for crying out loud.
Even Medha Patkar comes with her own stock of ludicrity. And don't even get me started on the over-glorified Arundhati Roy. Once a socialist, always a socialist!
And how about their NOT protesting against tax examptions & seat reservations? I guess feminists are okay with discrimination as long as it suits them.
And you are right, 'they' suffer from selective amnesia when it comes to addressing the privileges they enjoy!
I just hope we are not mistaken for mysogyanists!
