APOLOGIES, After viewing and reviewing netaznetas critique....I realized that anecdote was purely subjective and should not have been posted at a public website like sajha. Like I said earlier that satire or anecdotes do not necessarily expatiate narrators inner feelings...Ruby and her attire had nothing to do with my thoughts. But here are a few arguments i would like to put forth: 1. Getting terms with sexuality and identity is irrespective of time and place, I would have had a great respect for Ruby if she battled against moral constraints when she was back home. Why does she want to break the glass ceiling only after visiting united states and not before? 2. Ruby going out with a latino guy was purely incidental....I have no concerns over it. 3. You cannot expect yourself to seal your lips and feign a smile when a stranger bitches about your dear ones, you may not retaliate instantly...but the grudge always remains. Moreover, I am not Buddha. 4. I respect women....infact more than anyone I have met so far....and as far as the compassion is concerned...my heart bleeds for young girls who work 24/7 to make both ends meet and pay their tuition...following the hope of having a sucessful career one day, not for the ones who have it all and flaunt it. Ruby was a kind who made heads turn...she was a kind who walked with stiletto shoes in Rodeo drive to see if Brad Pitt is available for hitchhiking. Not my kind...definitely not my kind....I would go for a nerd with thick glasses working in a library in Johnsboro or Baton Rouge rather than a barbie barmaid in Soho.
