Sometime ago a blog acquaintance labeled me with mantle of being a Thatcherite Canadian. I have more than a passing admiration for the Iron Lady of Britain, and I do own the handbag, as well as knowing how to wield one effectively when the occasion warrants it.
The Baroness will be celebrating her 80th birthday on October 13, 2005 and I wish to bring to your attention a website devoted solely to sending good wishes to the Baroness on the occassion of her 80th birthday.

Hi
Thanks for reminding us of the Iron Lady and her handbag. Great to know that she is crossing 80.
Even more interesting is her note "....I owe nothing to women’s lib...."
I can't see any major contributions from women's lib to OUR LIVES TODAY, other than women having a great advantage over men in terms of family laws
All over the world women are in a win win situation while men loose. If normal life within marriage favours the wife, so do divorce, child custody and alimony payments
All around the world, women have a better chance of getting child support + child support payments and men are loosers
Situation in India
--------------------------------------
Do you know that many innocent young upcoming INDIAN professionals, their elderly parents & sisters have been arrested as WIFE FRIENDLY laws are MISUSED by some WIFES and un scrupulous lawyers - IN INDIA.
A good criminal justice system works on the principle that EVEN A SINGLE INNOCENT man / women should not be punished.
one is "..innocent unless proven guilty..".
However Sec. 498A of Indian Penal code (which deals with CRUELTY TO A MARRIED WOMAN) is directly against this principle and FORCES the accused to prove innocence. i.e. the accused is guilty until he proves himself innocent.
Anything from a simple verbal duel to a serious difference of opinion could be DEFINED AS CRUELTY lead to registering false complains
India has also passed a domestic Violence bill which makes marriage an un worthy proposition to men
The law that WAS SUPPOSEDLY meant to protect weak and establish justice has become a weapon in the hands of few un scrupulous wifes. Elderly mothers& sisters have been arrested. Unable to bear this some have died.
Many courts are aware of the misuse of law. Recently Chennai High Court (from a state in India - one of the Info Tech starts) has restrained police from arresting people on Dowry related charges under sec. 498A

So please be aware + take necessary precautions
