There has never been a question about what women can and cannot do … Yes of course they can do! The question was around what they were allowed or not allowed to do ?

guten Morgen Ambassador Lindner! You are doing a great job in spreading positive things about India and Indic culture. This is something very rarely Westerners do. I keenly follow you on Twitter.
More interesting to see you ride an Ambassador. Is the pun intended?

Indeed women power but there is need to go beyond symbolism and much more needs to be done to make them empowered.
