i have always forund the show inspiring rather than depressing...but to hear the victims tell their story is very distressing...and so ofcourse discretion is advised...in the case of your pregnant her hormones are already all over the place...and the epi could have made her depressed...but she should make it a point to watch it after the baby is born maybe...its simply important parenting information...
as a foreigner associated with india only through IF i do sometimes get a culture shock when i hear some of the reasonings behind some decision or other...but i also find a lot strong minded females that talk tough...so i am hoping that they will be part of the next generation that takes a tand against the injustices that plague them...
