This is a personal opinion poll. Need not look into the text for details.

I always feel Draupadi considers herself to be a Queen and never looked down at herself as a woman.. I don't think she would appeal for any consideration on grounds of her gender.

What is your opinion?

i think both phisical-verbal abuse and attempt to disrobe caused her pain.

It's 50-50 for me. Can't select one.

Both, but I think disrobing was more traumatizing, give the fact that it was done in front of an assembly, including elders and inlaws, and over-dharmic husbands who instead of saving her honour chose to remain silent...

The disrobing. Which is why Dushashan was her enemy #1, even more than Karna or Duryodhan. After that came the honor of her sons - she didn't want her sons to be known as sons of slaves, which is why she asked for her husbands to be freed.

I am sure that i have read that disrobing did happen though someone posted a topic saying it didnt.
Why?
Because after that, no one EVER mentioned the disrobing.Dusahsana dragging her by her hair is mentioned time and again by everyone.But no one talks about her being stripped though the disrobing incident is given in the sabha parva, just after the convo between vikarna and karna.
So i guess that the disrobing wasnt just higly painful to her.It was embarrasing and a thing to be ashamed of to everyone.

yeah this is why the possibility of later inclusion of disrobing is being debated..

would your opinion be different had you not read the texts?

Had i not read the text and believed that she was disrobed?
It is impossible to chose between a woman being stripped of her pride and honour and being verbaly abused in a court and then being stripped of a single piece of cloth that she is wearing in the same court filled with thousands of great kings and learned men.
It is all just ... Gross.
