Where you cum from? Why u in india 🤦‍♀️shameless godi media questioning Jean Drèze

Ah yes, the peak journalistic investigative brilliance of our TV studios striking again! Imagine having Jean Drèze right in front of you: a world-renowned development economist who co-authored seminal work with Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, played a key role in drafting MGNREGA and the National Food Security Act, has lived in rural India for over four decades, and most importantly someone who is a citizen of India like you and me.. but you decide to racially profile him 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

And your ultimate, high-IQ policy question is: "Where did you come from?" 🤦‍♀️ I wonder if journalist in india are even qualified to be one He is more indian and much more of a nationalist than you all could ever be. he has done way more for for this country than any of you people

To all my conservative/religious/right-wing feminists

Navratri is about to start and here are some things the right-wing, religious, conservative government and their minions have said and done to women over this weekend:

  1. Called them prostitutes and sluts for protesting.
  2. Asked them their per night rate while they were standing along the road.
  3. Threatened to r@pe and kill them in front of Delhi police while the police asked the women to shut up.
  4. Dragged them across the road to detain them.
  5. Tore their clothes in public.
  6. Beat and trampled them for raising their voices.
  7. Intimidated them to leave or else their parents and husbands will be informed.
  8. Raided women's houses at 2 AM the night before the protest to threaten them into backing down.
  9. Confiscated their phones, work IDs, and personal IDs to silence them.

If after today, you still support the BJP and still promote your conservative values, you'd be the biggest traitor of women in India. After today, I will never, ever support a right-wing feminist again. We cannot co-exist.

This is Envy? Idiocracy ? Moral superiority ? Patriarchy ? Or just plain old missing a few brain cells

I mean like, and ??? Yeah ?? How dare a lady exercise her right as a human being because apart from internal plumbing there is no difference between you and her, sheesh, and go and do what she wants to do or seems morally right ?? Protest for her rights.

As the most populas nation we are fricking insecure about sex, even is she is doing that, soo, somebody seems a bit salty and envious i see. But well, when has the world changed for me ?.. sigh.

What in the world is even this?

I am surprised but not shocked. The entire institution of marriage whether you are dependent or not, ensures entrapment of women.

Especially when it comes to intimacy, the institution of sex in a marriage is only and only based on patriarchal standards (speaking of heterosexual marriages only here wrt the context)

A lot of women bear such humiliation in silence…

No Matter the Issue, Women Always End Up Being Their Target

These fkers target women no matter what the issue is, even when it doesn't involve them. They have something to say about what women wear, how they behave, what choices they make, and the kind of abuse, sexualisation, slut shaming and threats women face on the internet is just insane. The amount of regressive shit these people say is unbelievable.

This is the pattern I've observed in people depending on their political leaning. Why is it that almost every right winger I meet, irrespective of religion, has an extremely patriarchal, supremacist and regressive mindset? Not a single actual left winger I've met has that kind of mindset. And no, I'm not talking about Congress supporters, I'm talking about the actual left.

Also anybody can be a leftist, but if you're not a feminist, you're not a leftist.

Misogyny of male centred political operatives hiding in Indian feminist subs.

Feminism will never succeed, unless it places its primary loyality to liberation of women as a class and as an individual from patriarchy.

If we try to work with the conventional male political spectrum, we will always fall for the patriarchal bargain trap.

There is no hope from the conventional male centred political spectrum.

Thats why Feminism needs to be a women led, women centred movement, completely independent of the conventional male centred political spectrum.

Indian Twitter is the worst social media full of misogynists, rapists, sexists and andhbhakts....

I'm genuinely disgusted by the comments I've been seeing lately. I came across a post about a woman crying after allegedly being harassed by Delhi Police, and instead of showing empathy, people were victim-blaming her, calling it propaganda, and slut-shaming her without even knowing the full facts.

And that's not all. I've also seen posts where Dhruv Rathee's wife is being sexualized and subjected to disgusting comments simply because of her husband's political views.

The irony is that some of the people defending this disgusting behaviour were women themselves. Imagine watching another woman being slut-shamed, humiliated, and sexually objectified, and instead of standing up against it, choosing to defend the people doing it.

How does political hatred make people forget basic human decency? You can disagree with someone's politics without humiliating their wife or attacking a woman's character when she speaks up about her experience.

What's even more disturbing is how some people talk about morality and women's dignity but abandon both the moment a woman belongs to the "opposing side." Asking for evidence is one thing; victim-blaming, slut-shaming, and sexual harassment are something else entirely.

Honestly, it's sickening to see misogyny being excused just because it serves someone's political agenda.

Whatta progressive film🤗

Hamare zamane ki films ki baat hi kuch alag thi.....vo alag baat hai ki aaj bohot kuch badla hai, phir bhi bohot kuch badalna baaki hai. The way women are portrayed needs to change in Indian cinema. They need to stop objectifying women and reducing them to just love interests.

Nobel Prize 2026 (female laureates)

Navanethem "Navi" Pillay

Nobel Peace Prize 2026

Born: 23 September 1941, Durban, South Africa

Prize motivation: “for her efforts to promote peace and international law”

Champion for international legal order

Navanethem “Navi” Pillay has been at the forefront in the development of an international legal order. Ms Pillay was educated in the law and soon began defending activists who stood up against apartheid. She grew up in a family of Indian Tamil descent in Durban, South Africa, where in 1967 she founded her own law firm. In the 1980s she studied at Harvard University and earned her Doctor of Juridical Science degree there in 1988.

Dr. Pillay was appointed to the High Court of South Africa in 1995. Four years later she became a judge and President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), where she gained distinction for her role in establishing that sexual violence and rape as well as the spreading of propaganda could lead to indictment for crimes against humanity and genocide. She was then named to serve as a judge on the International Criminal Court (ICC). From 2008 to 2014 she served as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Navi Pillay also chaired the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory from 2021 to 2025, and in 2019 she became an ad hoc judge on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the case in which Myanmar stands accused of genocide.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee attaches importance to Navi Pillay’s role as a driving force in the development of an international system of law and order, while further emphasising her judicial rigour, personal integrity and considerable courage. At a time when the number of wars and conflicts is rising, and when judges and institutions of international law are under political attack, the Nobel Committee wishes to issue a reminder that the ability to resolve conflicts without force or violence is dependent on the international rule of law. An international legal system in which war criminals are held to account and the victims of abuse see justice served is a precondition for a peaceful world.

Pillay for women's rights

Pillay garnered international recognition for her work as a judge on the ICTR and caught the attention of the members of the Women's Caucus for Gender Justice during the late 1990s.[27] Impressed by her work, women's advocates wanted to ensure the protection of women's rights during the establishment of the International Criminal Court.[33] The Women's Caucus gained enough momentum to attend PrepCom and the Rome Diplomatic Conference where they codified women's rights into the ICC statute, advocating that there be quota for the number of women judges on the bench and the use of "gender" instead of "sex" in the ICC provisions of the Rome Statue.[33][27] After the establishment of the ICC, Pillay became one of the first judges to ever serve on the court.

In 1992, she co-founded international women's rights group Equality Now in New York, along with two other human rights lawyers, Jessica Neuwirth, and Feryal Gharahi. The aim was to bring equality for women into the field of human rights.[74][73]

Anne Carson

Nobel Prize in Literature 2026

Born: 21 June 1950, Toronto, Canada

Prize motivation: “for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature”

Language: English

In the biobibliography accompanying the Nobel award, committee chair Anders Olsson described Carson's juxtaposition of classical and modern writers as central to her creation of new literary forms. He cited her pairing of Simonides with Paul Celan in Economy of the Unlost, and of Thucydides with Virginia Woolf in Men in the Off Hours. He also treated her Greek translations as literary works in their own right.

Generalize all fucking men

I’ve ended friendships with men who call themselves feminists but then get offended by generalisations like “men are dangerous.”

Men sexualise and fetishize rape. Just look at the endless rape-related subreddits.

And when people say, “Men get raped too,” yes, they do. But who perpetrates sexual violence against them?

Yes... MEN

Man saying pedophilic stuff and getting support for it

there is something genuinely wrong with so many men.

firstly their obsession with talking about women's prime and putting an expiry date on women.

but there's something even creepier in this comment, look how casually they can mention about men going for 16-25 yr old woman, as if it's not pedophilia for a grown ass man to go after a 16-18 yr old girl.

and no one speaks up to them, people are upvoting it and even rewarding it. and then they cry about "not all men".

India really need to strengthen their laws for juvenile criminals. Horrifying bullying case from nagaland

A group of girls cornered another girl, in the washroom of a coaching centre, beat her, cut her clothes off, hacked her hair, and humiliated her while recording it. Made her life actual hell.

I won't even call it "bullying." This is assault. This is criminal.

And what's happening? Where's the strict action? Why are we still treating this like school drama instead of the violent crime it is? They just faced a suspension like seriously??

India needs to wake up. This culture of letting assault slide because "they're just kids" or "it's a personal matter" is exactly why this keeps happening. File real charges Make an example.

u/No_Rub_6403 — 12 days ago

what tf is happening in this country? Who is really safe? I feel completely numb at this point

I am starting to feel numb to all this because every single day there is another despicable case, but this one just hit a new low. What the fk is happening in India? We are supposed to rely on the police for safety, but they are the ones committing these heinous crimes.

In Arunachal Pradesh, a Sessions Court just sentenced a police personnel, R. Nayam, to life imprisonment for abetment of rape. The details are sickening. well atleast some justice ig?

The case itself is so sickening. Nayam and other police officers literally dragged a minor boy (13) and a minor girl (12) from the roadside into the police station and once inside, they physically assaulted the minors and forced them to have sexual intercourse with each other.

To make it even worse, they filmed the entire thing on a mobile phone and circulated it as an MMS to the public. Nayam's lawyer tried to plead for leniency saying he had kids, sick parents, and was "acting on instructions from senior officers", which is just terrifying if true.

The court rejected the plea for mercy, but the fact that a cop on duty used his power to assault and humiliate minors inside a police station is just beyond depressing.

How are women and children supposed to feel safe when the protectors are the predators? I’m just so exhausted by the constant stream of these news stories. Are we ever going to see real change in the system?

what makes it outrageous is if you read the judgement of the court, they acquitted all others, because they apparently did not physically assault the children, just forced them to have intercourse and filmed it. apparently that only meant a 25,000 Rs fine. The police also initially tried filing the FIR against the boy who is only 13. the boy was kept in juvenile detention by rakesh nayam where he was further assaulted. apparently this extra assault was why Rakesh got life imprisonment while the other police officers were only allowed to go with a fine.

Also look at the comments made by men on facebook and insta with laughing emojis.

these are like majority of men, insta comments on this incident are even more horrendous. some people are commenting about how lucky the boy should have been, that police uncle "helped him" i lost hope on indians

and this is also to the women out here, who think Northeast Indian men are such a gentlemen. girl no, they are all of the same filth

u/Such_Werewolf4253 — 12 days ago

even the most leftist man you know is a man end of the day?

Question: What do you think about this? Should one trust leftist men?

All of you know how dire the situation is for women in India and All of you also know Gandhi. He's supposedly our father of nation (honorary title, not by law). Leftists in India idolise him as their godfather because of his principles of ahimsa (non-violence). The Indian Left often questions societal norms and women's safety measures while conveniently ignoring what their so called mahatma's ideology was.

Mr. Gandhi advocated for women in disobedience movements yet he firmly believed women belong in the kitchen and that their primary work is nurturing children and taking care of home. He believed a woman cannot be harassed is she possessed enough moral and spiritual strength.

He is also infamous for his widely known celibacy experiments with his female acquaintances and his own granddaughters, abha and manu. Mind you both of his granddaughters were teens when he did this. To prove that he had enough self control, he slept naked with multiple women.

A lot of people do not that Gandhi was racist too. He believed and wrote to the brits that they should treat Indians better than South Africans because Indians are better than blacks.

Mr. Gandhi also opposed modern contraceptive methods and believed women should resist their husbands instead of using contraception.

His own wife, Kasturba, was gravely ill due to malaria but he denied any sorts of modern medicine to her and made her stick with ayurveda until she died of the illness. Months later when he himself caught malaria, he was treated with modern medicine. Funny how he dodged ayurveda immediately when it came to his life.

Indian leftists conveniently ignore all of this and worship him like he's a god. They defend him with their lives. Funny how these are the very people I thought were feminists and balanced with morals and ethics. It wasn't until yesterday that I realised even they care about us when it supports their narrative.

ps. I'm not saying the right is feminist or that right treats women better. The right wing in India hates us. But I didn't even expect these morons to be feminists.

I'm disappointed that even the left doesn't care about us considering the fact that feminism is a leftist ideology.

How to not get affected by misogynistic comments of college teacher ?

So last day our b.Ed teacher suddenly started moral policing girls especially that wearing jeans is characterless , wearing salwar without dupatta shows how your parents raised you and the education quality they gave you, she kept pointing out different girls and their dress types, and said you all dont look like teachers, and no one will respect you all , ur parents have never taught you anything, and she kept saying something or the other, she even pointed out my friends clothes and shamed her relentlessly. I am so upset and this incident hasn't left my mind since. Its so sad that even in this day and age we have such people with such third class mindset.
