I saw this on insta and was honestly disgusted but not surprised
Why, just why are men.......
I don't even know what to say anymore
Edit:- this happened in US i am sorry for any misunderstanding about the location but my heart aches for all the victims so i couldn't help but post it
How about these religious preachers teach self control?
Yikes. Who in their right mind would want to be a part of something like this?! Muslim scholar "women aren't allowed to wear perfume when they leave their home" "It's Haram for another man to smell their perfume. What's next?
Moderator Note : A Reminder About the Purpose of This Space
Over the past few weeks, we’ve noticed an increasing number of discussions centering men and men’s issues within the sub. While conversations around equality are important, we would like to remind everyone that this is, first and foremost, a feminist space meant to center women’s experiences, voices, concerns, and discussions.
Feminism is the belief that women should have equal rights, opportunities, and treatment in society. Since women have historically and systematically been disadvantaged in many areas, feminist spaces exist to provide room for those conversations without constantly redirecting focus elsewhere.
This does not mean that issues affecting men are unimportant. However, there are already many spaces dedicated to discussing them. Constantly shifting discussions in this sub toward men can derail conversations and dilute the purpose of the community.
Going forward, we as mods will also try to post and encourage more feminism-related content to help maintain the focus and encourage meaningful discussions around women’s issues, rights, safety, representation, and lived experiences.
We ask members to be mindful of the purpose of this space and contribute in good faith. Healthy discussion is welcome, but attempts to repeatedly redirect conversations away from women-centric issues may be moderated accordingly.
Thank you to everyone who continues to contribute thoughtfully and help keep this community constructive and supportive.
Is this really some powerful message?
This is a choice for her because she was not forced to wear this. This is a choice for her because she can wear anything she wants. But it's not a choice for lakhs of women who are forced to wear it just to maintain the so called "sanskar".
Glorifying Ghunghat at a global stage doesn't seem like a powerful message to me, it's just glorifying oppression and siding with the patriarchy.
If this was done just as a traditional dress that would have been great, but using a global stage to say that ghunghat is a symbol of pride and respect, that feels so wrong.
Ps: she is the same woman who wore a necklace made of PM Modi's photo last year at cannes

Story of Dr Bibha Chaudhari
- Dr. Bibha Chowdhuri (1913–1991) was a pioneering Indian physicist who broke major gender barriers to unlock the mysteries of cosmic rays.
- In 1936, she stood out as the only female student in her entire batch to graduate with an M.Sc. in Physics from Calcutta University.
- Her research career faced early struggles when physicist D.M. Bose hesitated to accept her, questioning if laboratory work was suitable for women.
- Undeterred, she fiercely persuaded him and soon found herself trekking up the high-altitude Himalayas to expose photographic plates to cosmic rays.
- Her painstaking analysis of those data tracks successfully identified a brand-new subatomic particle, known today as the pi-meson (pion).
- Unfortunately, World War II resource shortages cut her work short, leaving her without the sensitive emulsion plates needed to fully verify her discovery.
- British physicist Cecil Powell later utilized her exact methodology with better funding and materials, winning the 1950 Nobel Prize for the very same discovery.
- Refusing to step down, she traveled to the UK to earn her Ph.D. under Nobel laureate Patrick Blackett, mastering the science of extensive cosmic air showers.
- Upon returning to India, she became the first female faculty member at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and pioneered particle detectors deep inside the Kolar Gold Fields.
- Though she was widely overlooked by Indian science academies during her lifetime, her legacy was finally immortalized in 2019 when the International Astronomical Union named a star "Bibha" in her honor.
Recent trends in this sub
I joined this sub thinking it’s about feminism for INDIA.
Irrespective of religion, caste, I stand for feminism.
However, in the last two days I am noticing that posts here have suddenly started to highlight lack of feminism in a certain religion by exemplifying cases in other countries.
I believe no religion supports feminism. Also, I don’t see much difference between right wing pro-religion groups of the countries ideas of how a woman should be and Taliban rules for instance.
Could we focus on issues in the country instead of bringing up how there’s no feminism in USA or Iran or Afghanistan. If you are part of this group, ideally you should be focused on improving feminist rights in the country and not comparing with who’s worse off and where.
Men (not all men?) are Feminists.
Funny how “traditional roles” only matter when they benefit men. You want soft women, nurturing women, feminine women but suddenly equality becomes a problem when responsibility shows up.
Im loving that this page is getting shit on for this
As ive said, islamic fronts always seem to hijack left leaning and liberal spaces, here's an example for them doing this shit again. Go through the comments, amazing women and people calling them out that they had to "lock" the comments.
Unpopular opinion: Casual mother/sister cuss words are actually pretty disgusting, when u think about them.
I was reading a thread where someone casually used “BC” just as a reaction, like people use “WTF.” No woman was involved, nobody was being directly insulted, and yet our emotional reflex somehow still defaults to degrading somebody’s mother or sister. and honestly, once you consciously notice that pattern, it starts sounding primitive and ugly. people say “it’s just slang now,” and sure, most people do not literally mean it anymore. but language does not come from nowhere. a huge amount of our slang, “BC,” “MC,” “randi baaz,” etc, comes from a culture where women, female sexuality, and “family honor” were treated as things men owned, protected, or weaponized against each other.
My mom taught me from childhood not to use derogatory terms for any woman, not even casual slangs like these, and that stuck with me. if you want to insult someone, insult them directly. Why drag mothers and sisters into every emotional outburst? Bite the actual person if you want to bite. why bark at women who are not even part of the situation?
Humans will always cuss, vent, and lose control emotionally sometimes, that is normal. But I think it is worth asking why so much of our strongest emotional vocabulary still revolves around women-centric humiliation.
Curious what you think.??
[ also do women feel offended by these words? ]
What's wrong with these people?
I might get hate for saying this, but these people are living in delusion. If she doesn't want a baby, that's absolutely fine, but by aborting a child because it's a boy and they are doing some kind of work for the benefit of women is delusional and sick.
They are people who are mentally sick and are not fit to be mother's, what's wrong with them.
How is it any different from female foeticides to them.
I am convinced that women's rights as per the world is subjective, based on ethnicity and religion.
I came across a community called Yazidis while listening to a podcast, and was curious to read about them. Whatever ISIS did with their women is worse than what was disclosed in the Epstein exposé. Even Satan would be more courteous than these butchers.
500,000 Yazidis faced gen0cide for refusing to convert to lsl@m. 7000 Yazidi women were sold in chains under Sh@ri@ law by ISIS. 10,000 Yazidis were ki[[ed 2,600 are still missing 250,000 remain displaced in camps ISIS published its own justifications... calling these women "sp0ils of w@r" for those who refused to convert. They @bducted more than 6,000 women and girls.. some as young as nine. Thev sold them in slave markets in Mosul and Raqga.. and subiected them to systematic 🍇pe and sexu@l sl@very.
The whole world is silent because the women in the suffering end are non white speaking, non Abrahamics.
The Yazidis asked the GOI back in 2017 or 18 for help.. unlike our normal kadi ninda formality.. we didn't utter a word.
If one doesn't raise their voice against this, they're low-key supporting it.
