'We're coming to burn your house down!': "Recently there was much hue and cry over the clothes worn by a Tamil actress and how this was completely against the moral fibre of our country. One particular party has been recorded as saying that they will not let anybody's 'daughter, mother or sister wear such clothes, it's anti-Tamil'.
Which immediately made me wonder -- what about cousins, goddammit? And aunts? Not to mention grandmothers and sisters-in-law? Is the party saying that these types of women relations can wear anything they like? How dare they limit our moral indignations to such flimsy limits! Should I just cast a blind eye when my brother-in-law's second cousin once removed roams around in a pair of tight jeans and a halter top!"
