the "not all men" discourse is not informed by any genuine social intellect, but by fear of society losing its hegemony over women and their liberties.

[Aparna Yogmaya Pandey @AparnaYPandey1]

i fail to understand how women have to constantly defend "all men". i mean society does it on a daily basis. it's all men when it asks women to watch their clothes or who they talk to or where they go. it's all men when society gets to control women's liberties.

[Aparna Yogmaya Pandey @AparnaYPandey1]

then something- violent or not- happens and the popular narrative is suddenly "not all men", and the blame is diametrically shifted.

[Aparna Yogmaya Pandey @AparnaYPandey1]

No reform, in either letter or spirit, can ensure true justice unless these biases are systematically and completely dropped.

[Aparna Yogmaya Pandey @AparnaYPandey1]

The Kolkata rape&murder is not a novel case, but a selective outrage. Rapes in India aren't just subjugation of women, but of caste, class and religion, as well. It is a tragic reality that outrages in India take completely different routes...

[Aparna Yogmaya Pandey @AparnaYPandey1]

when the intersectionalities of patriarchy, religion, casteism, and/or social class (now inclusive of presumed political identities) come into play. The subjugation of the marginalised and the subsequent power struggle is a complex narrative in India.

[Aparna Yogmaya Pandey @AparnaYPandey1]

Yes, we know it's not all men. Thank you for stating the obvious. However, knowing something intellectually is very different from feeling it emotionally. 'All men' is not a generalization informed by hatred in its widest extent, but by trepidation.

[Aparna Yogmaya Pandey @AparnaYPandey1]

We don't want your hollow apologies, and we sure as hell don't want advice from people who consider women as secondary citizens. Give us reforms. Do the difficult. Do something worthwhile with all the power the people have entrusted you with.

[Aparna Yogmaya Pandey @AparnaYPandey1]

no, I am not going to be respectful in my anger. I don't care if it offends you.

Freedom was won 77 years ago when we painted our cages tricolour. Upon liberation, we entered a state of contradictions. While I offer deep reverence to this nation&its abstract ideals, I am hesitant to celebrate its people. I ask with much curiosity: where are we headed exactly?

A womans safety is the job of her govt, her administration, her institutions, her faculty, her education systems, her authorities, her courts, her country to enforce and systemically guarantee. It should have nothing to do with her hours, wardrobe or anything else. It’s OUR job.

A diasporic Bangladeshi Muslim human rights activist whose bio says he worked w Amnesty International claims that Bdeshi minorities have oppressed “the people” to explain the violence against them. Sadly some victim-blaming majoritarians hide as human rights activists in the west

[Aparna Yogmaya Pandey @AparnaYPandey1]

From #BhanwariDevi to #RGKarmedical rape&murder case, a timeline of over 30 years, tell me exactly how much has the needle really moved?

Stand in solidarity with doctors. Stand in solidarity with women. Stand in solidarity with your own humanity.

[Aparna Yogmaya Pandey @AparnaYPandey1]

I can't even begin to count how often I have heard insular claims on how women's equality is achieved. How often it is in the common discourse to victim shame, or to generally desire untethered domination over women.

[Aparna Yogmaya Pandey @AparnaYPandey1]

absolutely spineless.

Shame on the Delhi Secretary.
His word "Panga kyu le rahe ho" is no way acceptable.
The whole student community wants his resignation
