You may be the best surgeon out there. But if you're a woman, the biases by the patriarchal society will try to pull you down everytime- be it by mocking your pain during menstruation, or by considering you less capable because you took a maternity leave.
Thank you @BanerjeeSanhati and @TheWireScience for featuring my views in this important article.

#OperationShe | India’s ‘Missing’ Female Surgeons and the Scalpel of Sexism

Female surgeons say that patriarchal baggage continues to put barriers for Indian #women in surgical fields, both inside and outside the operation theatre.

For Indian men's rights activists, all men are working class, and all women (feminists) are upper class.

They readily appropriate the struggle and suffering of working class men and pretend working class women don't exist.

[Shraddha (슈라다) @HuhVsWorld]

If a woman’s CONSENSUAL sex offends you more than a man’s SEXUAL VIOLENCE, you are the reason the world is ROTTING.

[ً @prinkasusa]

I’m going to piss some men off with this, but the reason a lot of your parents and grandparents stayed married so long is because the women in those generations were financially trapped. When a woman makes her own money, the only thing a man can truly offer her is how he treats her. That's why there's a male loneliness epidemic.

@Jayati_M93 This is scary to say the least.

[Dr. Pallavi @DoctorPallaviIn]

Not every wife says "NO", because they are told its their husband's right to have sex, and their desires don't matter. But they silently suffer because they don't even know that it matters how they feel. These men are present everywhere, in our homes, families, friends.

[Dr. Pallavi @DoctorPallaviIn]

No. Arun is your normal everyday man.Arun is not a "psycho", mental illness is a different topic all together and calling an entitled misogynistic male mentally ill is wrong for everyone who suffers from a mental illness.

[Wizard @Quantum_143]

Chiraiya on Hotstar is completely biased propaganda against men..

>To understand the story, focus on three characters: Pooja, who is the victim in a love marriage; Arun, who is Pooja’s husband; and Kamlesh, who is the wife of Arun’s brother...
>In this, Arun is shown as someone who is asking his wife Pooja for sex even during her periods. Because of this, Pooja even ends up hurting herself with a blade in pvt part. Arun is portrayed as being obsessed with sex all the time. I mean, if you are showing the story of a psycho, then why are you presenting it in a way that makes it seem like society as a whole is like this?
>In this series, the story of a sex-obsessed psycho is shown, but it ends up pointing fingers at society as a whole. It portrays arranged marriage as completely wrong and gives the impression that men, in general, are driven only by lust..but Then during Navratri, when condom sales increase so much, it’s hard to understand whose lust and desire is actually driving that..
>The ironic thing is that Arun’s brother’s wife, Kamlesh, is shown in such a way that Arun’s brother massages her feet and listens to everything she says. It feels like the series is defining a ‘good man’ as someone who just serves his wife and obeys her..just like a puppet
>In my opinion, if this series is viewed as a psycho-thriller, then it’s fine..but these things don’t really fit or reflect society as a whole..

[Er. Netra Sharma @Netra_sharma0]

The men defending this scene in #Chiraiya are clueless about a woman body. Forced sex without arousal, consent & lubrication can lead to vaginal tearing, severe inflammation, excruciating pain & tissue damage in her private parts. Marriage isn't a license to mutilate. NO MEANS NO

[•°🎭 @thelonevert]

it all started when puja started talking about international film recommendations. the casteists & classists simply couldn't digest it. how can a rural dweller enter our reserved elite spaces and make us look equal if not lesser. that's the triggering point.

[nyx 🖤 @deebayleaf]

This is the post for those who aren’t aware about recent controversy on Instagram about an influencer called @lifeofpujaa, She is from a village in West Bengal who posts about movies, religion, feminism and capitalism while wearing a normal saree and in modest surroundings.  The drama started when so called privilege influencers specifically Niharika Jain and Otherwarya questioned her "authenticity." The claim? She’s an "industry plant." They found it suspicious that a "village girl" has such high-quality edits and a curated aesthetic.  Pujaa’s brand deals with Netflix etc, a rural woman being financially savvy and "too polished" for her background is a red flag. 🚩 
This is seated classism and gatekeeping by these influencers and their coterie. The elite are just mad they no longer have a monopoly on intellectualism and they have birth right of global cinema, literature and culture.
If you’re mad that a woman from rural setup having better film recommendations. maybe the problem isn't her "authenticity." Maybe it's your insecurity.

[Dr. Pallavi @DoctorPallaviIn]

Sex without consent is rape, be it before or after marriage. Period.

[Dr. Pallavi @DoctorPallaviIn]

#Chiraiya was disturbing to watch, because it shows the reality of our society. There are hardly any indian women who were asked for consent before sex. They are told before weddings, to let the husband do whatever he does. Their pleasure and consent never mattered.

[Dr. Pallavi @DoctorPallaviIn]

@booksb4looks I still get goosebumps everytime I watch this

[Dr. Pallavi @DoctorPallaviIn]

Her identity and surname and family only to cook, clean, do laundry for a man who never appreciated or loved her enough.
Yes, behind a successful man is a woman- because patriarchy never wanted women to become successful themselves.

[Dr. Pallavi @DoctorPallaviIn]

They say that- behind every successful man there is a woman.
Yes, a woman who sacrificed her career to give birth to him and raise him
A woman who married him and left her family
A woman who again sacrificed her career to take care of him and his children.
A woman who lost her +

[🦢 @damnidc__]

Daughters are no longer raised to be wives. They're raised to be people. And some people are really not okay with that. They're not being taught to sacrifice themselves for the comfort of others. Not being told that marriage is the finish line. Not being conditioned to make themselves smaller to be loved. They're being raised to earn their own money, choose their own timing, live alone if they need to, and not apologise for wanting more. They're building lives where love is welcome but not begged for. They're questioning things their mothers had to silently accept. They're choosing healing, not just habits. And for people who are used to obedience, that kind of freedom looks like defiance.

[s @yoongienthusias]

this would lead to mass protests and demands for immediate resignation from the whole election committe in a normal country but ours is one that is bigoted, in a mass religious psychosis and believe everythig is right if vishwaguru does it

[awkwardgoat3 🐐 @DivijaBhasin]

Porn has destroyed how we view bodies.

5th graders need to know about their body. Girls need to learn about how their ovaries, vagina, uterus etc function.

5th grade boys need to learn that a woman’s body is not just for his pleasure.
The role of a vagina is much more than just sex.

How will he know that?

By learning about it in school. In science class. By showing him that it’s just a normal part of a woman’s body and not just some dirty impure thing.

We need to stop oversexualising women’s bodies.

[Dr. Pallavi @DoctorPallaviIn]

gifts. "Beti ke ghar hi to jaa raha"- the car you bought for dowry, you could have gifted it to your daughter long back, the money you saved to pay the dowry- you could have used it to educate her. When you bow down to patriarchy, you become a part of all these murders.(2/2)

[Dr. Pallavi @DoctorPallaviIn]

It is just one case of dowry related death that has come into light- but dowry is a reality, a very harsh one, and it is prevalent in almost every other house of this country- be it the most educated ones. No one dares to call it out, everything becomes okay in the name of (1/2)

[Dr. Pallavi @DoctorPallaviIn]

@IndieKnopfler Exactly. And the acting was also very average.
