Women don't owe children to a world that hates them and is actively curbing their body autonomy rights.

This is the pandemic

[Chinmayi Sripaada @Chinmayi]

India is a hell for girls because literally deafening silence regarding this case which should have shook the nation.

13 years old. Who just hailed an auto to go somewhere.

The auto driver knew what to do and he has definitely done this before.

The system is a failure. The politicians platform sex offenders.
Men cry victim saying this is a fake case because, these rapists will walk free because someone didn’t collect evidence properly. The case will drag on.
The rapists will be raping again.
Nobody will care.

Someone was saying yesterday girls shouldn’t be born in India at all and sex determination should become legal. I was abhorred when I read it. I understand that tweet came from rage.

No escape from the penises that rape. Whether one is a baby or a dead body - Those Penises see a Vagina and YAYYY imma gonna rape.

Men will remain silent. And cry oh nooo women deserve it and need to be put in their place.

Thats it.

And what is "forced sex" called?

The New York couple would have their idea of fun and so would the Samastipur couple and objectively both wouldn’t truly understand the joy of the other and that’s how the world is.

E.g. how blue tick has fundamentally rotted the discourse.

The Rajasthan rape case of a 13 year old is not leaving me! 30 men raped her! Not a single men had conscience? Not a single men thought to end this trauma? Not a single men had a teenage girl in his family? It took 5 days for police to search her? 😭😭

[Neil🔪 @PsychDominant]

A 13 year old girl was raped for 5 days by 30 men but they’re still stuck with this case only and not reporting that even for once.

I feel Indian media isn’t hated enough.

[Indian Women Voices @Indianpatriachy]

Imagine marrying your daughter to someone who has committed such horrific crimes against women.
we keep boasting to the world that Indian families are the best. In reality, many parents care more about their social image, status, and so-called honor than their children's happiness. And to save money, some won't even hesitate to marry their daughters to criminals if it means they don't have to pay dowry.

[Messi @ThadiMeesha]

After this incident, a child was gang raped by 30 men, a wife's body was found in decomposing stage at husband's house, but no channels are reporting, I guess news has value only when the perpetrator is a woman.

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

who they want to marry and leave a troubled marriage without violence and force when they want to. Why should that be hard? Dowry is banned. So should be voluntary "gifts" that eventually amount to dowry.

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

Reason newsrooms are not losing their minds, no explosion of anger, no pressure on men to collectively condemn, and women are not declaring they are afraid to marry, is bec this happens too frequently to move us anymore. Probably not the only such crime even to happen that day

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

The numbers on crime against women are easily available. Even the violent crimes against men are majorly perpetrated by men. This should happen to no one. Not to men, not to women. The education has to start early and reinforced constantly. A grown adult should be able to marry

Nothing makes you a feminist faster than having a young girl in your life look at you, hurt and confused, while the world tells her to sit down and shut up.

My 18-year-old niece had been dating a guy from her high school for a while. For her own reasons, she ended it on Sunday.

Monday morning, she walked out to find her car completely covered in syrup, shaving cream, and dish soap.
Our exterior cameras clearly show the guy and his friend doing it overnight. Clear as day.

But here is where the real gut punch happens: the local police are completely dragging their feet.

They’re calling it a “prank.” One officer literally suggested I “calm down and think about the boy’s future” since he’s leaving for the Army this summer.
Think about his future.

So I’m left standing there with a teenage girl who is hurt, confused, and trying to figure out why a crime against her property is being treated like a joke.

She is being told to worry about his future instead of her own justice.
I am finally starting to understand how often the person who was wronged is asked to carry the weight just so things stay comfortable for the person who did it.

I know how women live with that… because I’ve lived it myself… being expected to absorb the damage, excuse the behavior, and move on while the people who hurt them are actively protected from the consequences of their own choices.

NEW | For many people, AI companions are filling an emotional void left by isolation, rejection and modern dating. But a relationship that never disagrees with you can quietly change what you expect from every real person you meet. Rituparna Chatterjee (@MasalaBai) writes.

If recording with glasses were the same as recording with a phone, the glasses wouldn’t exist. The concealment is the point. Bypassing consent is the point.

I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now.

3 million files of documented evidence about powerful men

Raped
Cannibalized
Trafficked
Filmed
Terrorized
Tortured
Murdered
13, 14, 15 year children

And Zero arrests

Don’t stop talking about Epstein files

@Kpsince1994 misogynist spotted

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

What's really striking me is the way the man is sitting there casually and joking while the woman ran out crying because her dad's had a heart attack. This is what women mean when they say some men don't even like women and they in turn add to the rape culture.

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

@travel_girl21 we do. we tweet about it everyday. we write about it as part of our profession. we also call out this loss of empathy in young men. It's not enraged me so much as concerns me. People are allowed to be psychopathic I guess.
