"many taboos have developed around physical exposure"

A man could work to be a Feminist, same time a woman could be anti feminist. A lot of women are actually living their lives in disgrace which eventually tarnishes their image and their community's outlook. Men are obviously and predominantly the reason for discrimination, which is widely accepted but, if we work from the roots it's women we have to work on. Surviving in a male dominating society where male chauvinism is our second skin, is no joke; living becomes fighting. Earning for women is hard, this puts pressure on women so they are forced to accept tough work, flexible timing, with little push exploitation mental and physical. Every human existence has an ethic to follow, not always can we live as we wish to live; a code to keep up with the society is essential so when some women who are forced to cross the boundaries for the mere purpose of survival they become social taboo.

"volte-face"

English Edification Enrichment- What is the meaning of "volte-face"? It is very common to hear politicians say one thing one day and on the very next day say the exact opposite. This is what we mean by a volte-face. To say the exact opposite; to do a complete turnaround. It's a total change in one's attitude towards something or someone. By the way, the "o" in "volte" is like the "o" in "hot", "pot", and "not". Some people pronounce it like the "o" in "go", "so", and "no". The "a" in "face" is like the "a" in "bath" and "path" and the main stress is on "face". The final "e" in both the words is silent. Here are a few examples. *   The Chairman's speech represents a complete volte-face in company thinking. *   Some of the Ministers didn't go along with the party's volte-face ...
