Do women in recent times have to still adhere to the ‘Sita’ standard? Sakshi rightfully points out that things have changed but attitudes haven’t.

:) Well done Sakshi.
Sita Standard
- Dependent on somebody else ALL the time.
- Incapable of making a rational choice
- Incapable of defending herself
- Did not fight back when society blamed the victim
- A pawn in the game of Good and Evil.

And no – This is not based on a reading of the Ramayana – thought that has been poured into me a few number of times – this is based on popular culture perception of Sita. Ugh!
