Tried writing some Bhojpuri poetry for the first time (Nirgun style). Let me know what you think...

I mainly write in English, so if there are any linguistic mistakes, please forgive me...

I wrote how we speak in our family... idk if it is pure Bhojpuri (probably not... I'm from Muzaffarpur... don't get confused, it touches Bhojpuri region a bit... so my native language is a mix of Bhojpuri and Bajjika... I can speak pure Bajjika too...)

I have a question.. do you think people from other states will be able to translate this easily? Just curious, because some of my friends always say that omg, bhojpuri is so easy... I can speak a bit and understand it fully... little do they know....

Ran into an 'Anti-Feminist' essay today. It is a manual for misogyny masquerading as 'intellectualism'. (Highlights in red and yellow)

Screenshot 1: I saw a youtube video, which led me to research some anti-feminist tropes, and I stumbled upon this essay.

Screenshot 2: The comment which was available on this essay.

Rest all screenshots: Highlights of the "justification of anti-feminism" essay from 2011.

It's a deeply disturbing rhetoric that made me sick to my stomach. This essay is a checklist of every toxic anti-feminist trope in existence.

The level of brainrot and pure hatred for women in these pages is actually terrifying.

It felt like my brain was rotting, but I’ve screenshotted some of the most "highlights" and marked the most disgusting parts in red and yellow, so you don't have to sift through the walls of text.

Some of the "arguments" this essay tries to make:

  • That women are "naturally" inferior and should be treated like children.
  • That domestic violence and rape are basically the woman’s fault or something they "secretly enjoy."
  • That we are "immature, selfish brats" for wanting basic human rights.
  • That a woman's only "real value" is for sex and cooking/cleaning.
  • It claims women are naturally inferior and must remain subordinate to men to prevent social collapse.
  • It explicitly categorizes women alongside children, stating they lack "discriminatory power" and have "less intelligence".
  • The text makes the horrific claim that women "inwardly" like rape and enjoy being pursued by "bad boys".
  • A commenter openly expresses a desire to "own and rule over" 6 to 8-year-old girls because of their perceived obedience.
  • It refers to modern women as "rubbish," "leeches," and "basically prostitutes" who exist only for sexual satisfaction.
  • It states that fathers should marry off their daughters immediately at puberty to satisfy the girl's "agitation by sexual desire".
  • It asserts that domestic violence and divorce are caused by "womanly weakness" and "man-hating attitudes" created by feminism.
  • It says that women are the reason for the "collapsing economy" of the world, especially in America.

I was on a break from reddit but I HAD to come back and post this. I request the moderators to not delete this post, as this is a very serious issue that needs to be discussed. It covers many of the misogynist tropes:

  • Subordination
  • Mental Capacity
  • Violence and Consent
  • Child Predators
  • Dehumanization
  • Predatory Marriage
  • Blaming Victims

Important note: The author of this essay has glorified all the original points made by Prabhupada and added his own "nuanced" opinions... it is also important not to mix up their opinions on a lot of topics, even when they all are at the same level of bullshit, as this is a technicality often found to discredit the whole thing by claiming misattributed quotes and saying that the points were "taken out of context".

I will also provide the link to the source of this essay so that you can read the entire essay yourself, once I get the approval of the mods in my comments section. So, mods, can I paste the link here? Otherwise, you can search for it yourself online by searching up the topic of this essay given in the third screenshot.
