Ridiculous, absurd and more...

In an excerpt of an interview of Sir Salman Rushdie reported in the Hindustan Times :
On marriage...
"Girls like it, especially if they've never been married before -- it's the dress. Girls, want a wedding, they don't want a marriage. If only you could have weddings without marriages."

So, according to Mr. Rushdie, women rushed to the altar only because they wanted to wear a "wedding dress".

What on earth does he mean to say ? If he wants to take potshots at one particular woman, let him do that. Why make such a sweeping generalisation on womankind?

This stinks of an outright sexist, biased and chauvinistic attitude and at so many levels...

Its as ridiculous as saying men just want to drink beer, watch TV and have sex.

Absolutely disgusting and repulsive.....

Hey, Bang on target! After Tequila sunrise, the distinctions blur! ;)

Jokes apart, my intention was merely to mention its ridiculous if we do slot men that way.

Salman Rushdie wanted to marry a top notch fashion model and then talks as if he jus discovered that she liked the dress more than him.If he is sour about the failed marriage, this ststement only shows a very distasful bitterness.
