And the comments made me feel disgusted even more. Them concluding feminism as seeking validation is baffling.

Getting absolutely flamed in the replies right now but I don't see how what i said is wrong. Context : a teen girl in kerala falsely accused a bunch of boys of raping her. DNA evidence proved that she didn't experience rape and then she came clean.

Now, I don't support the girl for lying at all. She is absolutely in the wrong. Legitimate victims already have a hard time getting people to even believe them. They get dismissed for not having enough evidence or whatever. People like this girl will make that so much worse.

All i'm saying is this - imagine you're an actual victim of sexual abuse. You finally garner the courage to come forward but you're met with disbelief and neutrality. People either don't believe you or are like 'the alleged perpetrator is innocent until proven guilty'. How would you feel?

Neutrality supports the criminal! I would rather unintentionally support a liar than an actual rapist! This does not mean i think false accusations are not a serious offence. Or that i would take it lightly if a loved one gets falsely accused!

the incident isn't joy worthy but it brings me peace to see young girls stand their grounds .

awareness ,courage and strength.

she needs no one but herself

Before anyone asks why this case deserves attention especially on a Feminist sub, here's why: women in STEM are too often judged as if they haven't accomplished much, even when many of us have achieved incredible things. Celebrating wins like this matters because representation matters. It reminds girls everywhere that they are innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders whose work can change the world.

Two 16-year-old girl innovators Ariana Agarwal, Avyana Mehta, and their teammate Vivaan Chhawchharia from Jaipur, India won the Global Earth Prize 2026. They were awarded for their creation of "Plas-Stick," a biodegradable, tamarind-seed-based powder that magnetically clumps together and removes invisible microplastics from water.

The Earth Prize win marked a historic milestone as it was the first time an Indian team claimed the global title. Their project targets rural communities by providing a low-cost, electricity-free, and chemical-free method of purifying drinking water. Once the microplastics are bound and magnetically extracted, the trapped plastic waste can be upcycled into useful items like coasters or tiles.

Many of you have probably heard of Meta Glasses by now. They were supposed to have a recording light to signal when someone was filming. The reality? There are countless tutorials showing people how to cover it, disable it, or work around it.

And now we're seeing a horrific trend: men secretly filming women, asking them on dates, catcalling them, and uploading those videos online for content, violating their privacy and traumatizing them all over again.

Now, in India, Lenskart has launched B Smart Glasses, making this technology even more affordable and accessible.

why aren't we asking why products that can be so easily weaponized against women are being normalized in the first place???

Women's safety has always been an afterthought to innovation.

Speechless... my bad for low quality*

Context: Himanshu jangra (gurugram) went viral after saying he spent ₹370 on biryani during a date and expected sex in return because he had paid. The clip, recorded at a stand-up comedy show(of pranit more), sparked widespread backlash for promoting entitlement and disrespecting consent. The man was reportedly fired from his job, the comedian later apologized, and police and the National Commission for Women took notice of the incident.

I watched a reel where a father murdered his own daughter because she was in love with a boy from another religion. But when I opened the comments, I saw people praising the father and saluting him.

The disturbing part is that many of the people posting those comments are someone's father, someone's brother, or someone's son.

no explanation or justification will help.

patriarchy is like a boot which is kept on top of a woman.

feminism wants the boot removed,

patriarchy is mad about having the boot removed .

years of special treatment makes one blind to the special treatment.

any steps against such treatment or normalisation of equal treatment for all starts looking a existential threat, result is more violence,hate crime and as-aults...

cant guide the blind.

example-above

Churu Rajasthan: Four young women employed at a beauty parlor in Churu, beat the owner, Bhawani Shankar Khatri, with slippers after catching him on video mixing a suspicious substance into their drinking water. The incident occurred on June 29. The women, who had been working there since March 2026, suspected the owner earlier on June 27 but lacked proof. They secretly recorded him using a mobile phone, showing him taking water from a camper, adding something from his pocket, and pouring it back. After informing their families, they confronted and beat him before filing a complaint at Rajgarh police station on Thursday, demanding a fair investigation and legal action. The owner denied any wrongdoing, claiming his parlor was not performing well, so he had placed yellow mustard seeds inside and mixed Gangajal (holy water) into the drinking water for positive vibes. Police have registered the complaint and stated that the matter will be investigated thoroughly

I don't even know what to say anymore

O Ri Chiraiya is a song from Satyamev Jayate (2012), sung by Swanand Kirkire, that metaphorically addresses violence against women and female infanticide.

The lyrics personify daughters as sparrows, facing extinction due to societal injustices like sex-selective abortions and lifelong struggles.

Here's my cover on it.

I came across these slides from an Islamic scholar arguing that you can't be both a Muslim and a feminist. He says the two are fundamentally contradictory and feminist are kafirs I’ve always believed feminism is for all women, regardless of faith

He basically argues that core parts of Islam clash with feminist ideas on equality and It honestly makes me sad. I believe women everywhere deserve equal rights no matter their religion ( hindu, muslim, christian etc ). Women should never be forced to choose between faith and equality.

I am agnostic myself. I truly believe every woman should be able to live with freedom dignity and the right to make her own choices
