Preposterous

Sir, — Two articles in the Open Page (Jan. 4) inspired this letter. "Rethink on adolescence" seeks to blame the cultural degeneration of the present times on youngsters. I am a school student and I do not deny that I have seen the decline in values among some of my schoolmates. But I have also seen minds so strong no temptation can ever lure. As for the article, "Freedom to women — blessing or blemish," it is preposterous. Use of phrases such as Adam-teasing and roadside Juliets is an insult to us who face harassment on roads almost every day. You can hide behind such fabricated terms; but they will still remain mirrors to the truth of exploitation of women.

R. Mythili,
Kozhikode, Kerala
