I am sure that was a compliment, as it is not easy to write a villain character that people can loathe in short order.
Rather than compliments you should give the OP tips on how to get away with posts that might offend others sensibilities ! You are pretty experienced on that front
It depends on the relationship between the mother and the daughter. No matter how abhorrent it seems, when it reaches the nadir, some people tend to think in that line.
Short People - Wikipedia Your situation reminds me of the song "short people" by Randy Newman. He wrote many songs from the points of view of prejudiced persons, and many were clever, and pointed to the stupidity of the prejudices. However, one of the songs (short people) got such a lot of pushback, the radio stations would only put them on if he added an annotation stanza for the song. After that "explanation" got attached, the song went flat for those who enjoy Randy Newman's lyrics, but apparently it went on to satisfy the radio stations and some of the handicapped listeners. Go to youtube and listen to the song, and you'll see where the new stanza comes up. Cheers!
I like The Panchatantra. It has been translated into many languages (including Malay and Hokkien), but the best one is in English (Univ. of Chicago Press, Arthur Ryder), because it provides the translation of the verses from the original in Sanskrit. Here is one: When a poem or daughter comes out, The author is troubled with doubt, With a doubt that his questions betray; Will she reach the right hands? Will she please as she stands? And what will the critics say?That's what happens to all posts, not just poems. People come with the baggage of their own world views, and experiences, and look at it from their vantage.
Wow! What awesome knowledge! Heard the song and read the note. Aptly put by you! I am becoming your "Jabra fan"! Cheers!
