@raretweeter13 @Joydas I guess your taste buds haven’t had the pleasure of good vegetarian food yet! Sorry to hear that

Parents should never put their daughters in a position where any random person can come and reject them based on their complexion, weight, facial features, height, level of ambition, etc. Why would you want someone to have tea with you and count your child's 'flaws'??

WHAT CAN MEN DO TO HELP

I have been struggling to find words about the heinous and tragic crime of sexual violence and murder of a young doctor in Kolkata, and have only been amplifying stories of women & medical professionals so far.

But looking at the comments in so many posts of women, I’ve been horrified & disturbed.. but sadly not surprised. Hundreds of men have, as usual, chosen to respond with ‘Not all men’, ‘Men get raped too’, ‘Fake feminism’, ‘Victim card’, ‘Attention seeker’ and so on.

They are going to attack this post too, and I’m not sure if there’s any easy way to fight that mindset, so this post is aimed at the other men: who are feeling deeply uncomfortable today, and aren’t sure what men can do to help. As it turns out: we can do EVERYTHING.

Men, we are exhausted. Exhausted of spending half of our waking hours ensuring our safety. We just want a normal life where our lives are not dictated and shaped by fear.

[Sukhada @appadappajappa]

Every woman around you has at least one story about sexual abuse she will never tell you. What you know about women’s safety and the lack of it is just scratching the surface.

Men, do better. Do much much better. Hold other men accountable.

Dear BJP supporters, see how Mahua Moitra supporters are bashing Mahua. They are the same people who supported her, admired her when she was right. Now that she's wrong they are criticizing her. That's how things should be. Always have guts to criticize your favourite politician.

Anyone who’s even mildly happy at Vinesh’s unfair disqualification today is a sexual assault apologist. There’s no other explanation. Cope.

[Wilbur Sargunaraj Fan Club Treasurer @iamdatemike]

For all the “rules are rules” Sanghis today, want to ask why rules were not rules when the police didn’t file an FIR and charge sheet against Brij Bhushan when there were multiple complaints of sexual harassment against him.

It required the Supreme Court to step in.

If the whole “system” worked extra hard for her to not have her moment of glory, if the stupid system chose to destroy it’s own overall tally and worked against its own interest, who won really? The system is the biggest loser here.

We know who the champion is.

The only Politician who has the right to bask in the glory of the Achievement of Indian Hockey Team is Naveen Patnaik.

[Naveen Patnaik @Naveen_Odisha]

Pleasure speaking to victorious #IndiaHockeyTeam and congratulating the team on etching their name in history with consecutive bronze medals in #Olympics.

Everyone in #Odisha and people across India are proud of this historic feat.

[Heisenberg ☢ @internetumpire]

I don't understand this concept. She won every other round fair and square right? So why deny her Silver Medal for disqualification in the finals?

[Alka @bheemboii]

Rigging an Olympic final and disqualifying your country's potential gold medalist because you are insecure and all your reign's terror will be known worldwide which will in turn ruin your image globally
- this is a clear trait of a brutal fascist.
Fascist Modi.

Good time to remember the Indian cricket gods and superstars who never uttered a word in support of the wrestlers when they were protesting.
