living in a desi family as a woman will make you hate the word “compromise” i get triggered as soon as i hear it in a conversation.

[Catty @CatWomaniya]

Win for Indian women.

A deeply misogynistic society that hates women from the moment they’re born until the day they die doesn’t deserve their reproductive labour.

[Serial Doomscroller @iamdoomscroller]

Love love love how women are decentering men and building such rich lives for themselves. We’ve all grown up hearing “no man will marry you” and now it’s music to our ears.

[Namita 🙏🇮🇳💖 @NamitaJaiHind]

I am loving the response from all girls 💖

[Serial Doomscroller @iamdoomscroller]

Ladies, never ever ever quit your jobs esp if a man asks you to do it. Esp if he devalues you basis your salary. If he can do that, he can easily block that credit card he’s offering you. Do not rely on anyone for finances. Even if it’s 20k pm it’s YOUR money. I’m begging y’all.

[Kabir Menon @the_psyche_lab]

A man earns 1.2 crores per annum in Mumbai. His job is high pressure, long hours at a SaaS startup. He has employed a maid & cook at home. He takes care of all utilities, expenses, vacations, investments etc.

His wife also works and makes 13 lakhs a year in an advertising agency. She spends this money on herself, and invests the rest.

They have a daughter after 3 years of marriage. After her maternity leave is over, he asks her to leave her job (this was discussed before marriage), and take care of the kid. But, she takes a U-turn and refuses. He is even ready to give her a credit card for her personal spending, similar to what she did with her salary. She still doesn't agree.

Now, they are forced to leave the kid with a nanny throughout the day. He isn't happy about it. Note that, none of their parents are alive, so the kid can't be left with grandparents.

Now, everyday they are having fights over this. Even though his working hours are longer, she tells him her work is equally important, and that he must equally contribute in parenting (at night). He says he is already contributing as he is bearing all the childcare expenses. She tells him, it's not about the money, it's about the time. He says, if he stays up at night, he can't work during the day. She gives the same logic.

She taunts him if he is so concerned about the kid, why don't he leave his job and look after the kid. He taunts her back that he is okay to do so, but then she must earn the same as he earns. Then, they both get silent.

After a few minutes, the wife starts crying, and says, why can't he understand why my job is so important. He asks her to explain why. She doesn't answer. He asks her back, that he can't understand why her work with so little salary is so important than taking care of their own child. It's illogical.

I end the session and ask them to ponder on their questions and come back next time with answers.

ladies, and gentlemen, what do you think they should do?

Between Iraq changing the age of consent from 18 to 9, conservatives in the US tweeting "YOUR BODY, MY CHOICE", one of Gisele Pelicot's abusers justifying his behaviour by saying "I thought she was dead" and women in Sudan taking their own lives to avoid being r@ped by paramilitary fighters…. If you still can't grasp just how many men hate women, you're not listening.

[The Road Jess Travelled @JessPected]

The moment a woman is no longer the object men own, they show the true nature of that relationship. Imagine learning the man you love would rather you dead than his sexual ideal. And at your most vulnerable time.

Won't it be funny if Riquelme wins and appoints Pep? Don't come @ me with logic I'm just saying it's a fun thought exercise. #RealMadrid #JoseMourinho #PepGuardiola

Baby has gotten good at identifying “dada” but still struggling with surrealism, cubism, even baroque.

[Serial Doomscroller @iamdoomscroller]

@Rajyasree The comment section on the og tweet is a dumpster fire.

[Pooja Priyamvada @PoojaPriyam_]

Oh yeah so that she can be maipulated, exploited and abused and has nowhere to go!
Well said faceless misogynist!

[Serial Doomscroller @iamdoomscroller]

@apparitionnow @film_waala HELL YEAH WHEN AND WHERE

[Serial Doomscroller @iamdoomscroller]

@acidpapii who's calling ghatkopar gk it's the most ungk-coded place ever😭😭😭

[Serial Doomscroller @iamdoomscroller]

and what trumps this is a wife/daughter who has completely decentered men and no longer gives a fuck. she's in her blissful era, realizing she's always been enough and everything else is just noise meant to distract her from living her best life. indifference > rage.

[𝗠𝘂𝗵𝗲𝗲 ♛ @muheediva01]

They say that men are shocked when their wives aren’t as forgiving as their moms and even more shocked when their daughters aren’t as forgiving as their wives, but I’ll do you one better - there is no rage on earth as fearsome as a daughter when she realizes her father raised her like a pig to slaughter.

[Shanaya 🍂 @TweetMePlis]

You could be the biggest misandrist on the planet, and your anger would still be a minuscule speck compared to the sheer, monstrous reality of a man's hate.

[zuh🦩 @crustybrainclot]

In indian households, everything you do as a woman somehow gets linked to your future non-existent husband and shaadi

[Edgar Ekhon Thepla @poeticlieshensh]

Marriage esp arranged marriage is one of the biggest lies sold to us. It promises security but is indentured sex slavery. The society raises evil insecure incomplete men and then latches a woman along with him for life who is to absorb this wounded man's insecurity and violence

[Serial Doomscroller @iamdoomscroller]

@th_anonymouse Too much to expect that if your wife/DIL has mental health issues, you can help her get treatment for it and ensure she is loved and looked after well??

[Serial Doomscroller @iamdoomscroller]

@meenakk1963 @bnilesh760 Hey Meena context matters. If we're expected to adjust in the workplace in a way that actively harms us we shouldn't be ok with that right? Adjustment here refers to advice given to women to put up with abuse in the name of family's honor. How does conflating the two make sense?!

[Harissajid13 @HarisSajidh2]

Men see their mother's sacrifices as "Standards" and women see their mother's sacrifices as "Trauma" and that's where the difference lies.

[Serial Doomscroller @iamdoomscroller]

Goes to support my point that women also need to decenter their birth families. I’m begging you, if you have the means to be financially independent, please do so. Emotional strength can come with space & boundaries but you need strong financial foundation to give yourself that.

[let it go. @stayaway_002]

My parents still aren't over my divorce, even after four years. My ex-husband remarried, had another child and abandoned his first child, yet I am still blamed for everything.
Society judges divorced women so harshly that some relatives of mine don’t even know tht I got divorced
