“…one of the ways that we can stop harassment of women in public places is to not allow men to have access to alcohol…women in India organized to shut down two liquor stores that they found was responsible for eve-teasing in their community…The women folk in Akurdi had a reason to rejoice on Sunday as their long-pending demand of closing down two liquor joints  one a country liquor shop and the other a wine shop  had been granted by the district collector…To celebrate the win, women will be marching on International Women’s Rights Day.”
I certainly have nothing against Miller beer or against the www.feministing.com bloggers making money off their blog, but when I first saw Miller beer ads all over www.feministing.com, I did think it was a little odd. When I read the blog post Women in Pune shut down liquor stores, I thought it was a little odder.
