Truely liberation!!

This is one of the craziest things that i have heard of recently. Pakistan has its first mixed sex marathon and what is even better is that this is claimed as a way to show the world that the nation is progressing.
I have always hated cultures making a big weather of women doing things. For that matter i think both men and women have to exercise restraint. And the very fact that the oppressed in a society shows how backaward and narrow minded a culture can be. There can be certain rules in a society so that we differentiate ourselves from animals. But then any regulation that oppresses even basic freedom based on gender, race, creed is a definite step backwards. But to round it off, i must admit that it must really be ecstatic to have this event in a society that makes such a heavy wind about it!!
