Quantuim State: Women liberation in India

Two advertisements being played in local FM stations:

1. Voice of Priyanka Chopra, one of the leading heroines in India "I am from small city in India. but still that did not stop me from follwoing my dream....." advertising for a woman's product. represents may be 2% of the women of india.

2. An anonymous voice 'Yesterday night My husband forgot to take protection. I dont want to become pregnant..." advertising for post-contraceptive. Note that it was husband who forgot to protect, but she did not say anything at that time. May be the rest of 98% of women?

Methinks the second advertisement needs to be taken with an appropriate pinch of salt ;-) in that, it's just trying to be politically correct.
