બેઠક Bethak

પાઘડીની શરમ સૌને, ધાધરીની શરમ કોઈને આવે નહીં.

pāghaḍīnī śarama saunē, dhādharīnī śarama kōīnē āvē nahīṁ.

Literally
Everyone respects the turban's honor, but no one respects the petticoat's honor.
What it means
Society strictly upholds the dignity and rights of men while callously disregarding those of women.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
