The rise or fall of the women species in India? You tell me

As I sit in this coffee shop in Bangalore, I begin to notice something not unusual but rather surprising: Other than 2 girls sitting here, all the others are smoking away to glory. At the same time the guys here are just watching them puff away to glory and saying nothing about it. Not even the fact that there are a lot of guys around not smoking. The trend I have been observing when frequenting these coffee shops is that the number of guys smoking as a percentage of the crowd has either remained the same or has gone down, the number of girls and ladies smoking up has risen drastically. Now let me also be very clear about one thing here: I have absolutly no problem with women smoking.

Here are some more interesting observations:
When a stag or group of stags come into the same place and light up, they can be forced to extinguish their cigarettes if a single lady complaints, but the same does not work the otherway around, WHY? If a lady or a group of ladies walks into a place, they call the shots as to whether the men around can smoke or not, WHY? women consider themselves the weaker sex yet they can do anything anywhere, including yell profanities at the guy sitting with her and get away with it but if a guy even talks a wee bit too loud will be reprimanded into "decent behavior" by anyone of the female species around,WHY? Are we in India particularly the bigger cities reaching a point where we are giving rise to a new breed of smoking, bad mouthing,females and a group of males who can be suppressed at the whim and fancy of the females around. What about equality, respect for other people and decency?Is this the sign of a advancement or a sign of decline?
