had a vision of brienne preparing to enter a joust and jaime is leaning over the stands either trying to give her a kiss or putting his favour on her pauldron and some other dudes are holding onto him so he doesn’t fall over

Please don't bother me with protagonist nonsense. I'm just a casual NPC. I'm here to talk about farming, not advance the main storyline.

I was at a ren faire with my mom and I saw a belt with cool leather pouches on it for $3759 and I whispered to her, “You know, if it weren’t for the price tag I’d totally get that,” and she was like “Go for it! It’s only $3000! That’s nothing!” And I was like *surprised pikachu face*.

The way that the mainstream Indian daily soaps are STILL obsessed with producing content that glorifies the "perfect" desi bahu who will basically just stay in the kitchen, serve her husband and his family, have no identity of her own besides her husband, take any bs, no questions asked. While the female characters that are typically demonised are the ones that aren't afraid of voicing their opinion and having their self respect, and they are usually mocked with the title "modern" or maybe even "chudail".
Feminism is all about choice. It can be a woman's choice to want to be a stay-at-home wife or serve her family but such dependence on your spouse should never be romanticised unless the family is well to do (which is not the case among the majority); and it should definitely not be forced upon any woman.
Again, we have way too much of this stereotypical representation anyways. We want to see women doing whatever the fuck they want to, unapologetically. Give us complex, selfish, ambitious female characters. The media which is produced and which the audience consume makes a huge difference. We are sick of people trying to look down on feminism, don't let patriarchy take over a silly thing such as entertainment too.
This is not intended to hurt anyone's feelings but just a few words I've wanted to share on here.

This is what I meant when I said both rightoids and liberals in India are equally dumb as fuck. Both are pro imperialists. She's not even lower caste and yet she's speaking on behalf of us. I have seen this trend in a lot of "anticasteist" upper caste women (who unfortunately have more voices than people like me, actually women from oppressed castes).
How are these people different from the white supremacists who say brown people are intellectually and socially inferior?
"At least the goras let us have meat" oh okay we're gonna ignore the 3 million lives lost in Bengal famine caused by Churchill's policies (after which he blamed it on us instead of his own greediness). Did he let those people eat meat then? Unhinged shit. They wouldn't let people fill their bellies cause sometimes instead of food crops they wanted our ancestors to grow cotton, indigo, spices, tea. Which also left areas prone to land disasters. Commercial stuff that they could sell at much cheaper prices in their own countries and others in the Western world as well. Also levied extremely unreasonably high taxes. Leaving us with no money. Delusional world these middle/upper class liberals live in where the British let us have meat. They didn't even let us have rice.
The British protected the caste system. Read Sharmila Rege's work about how the British introduced the process of "Brahmanisation" in colonial India.
This is the exact thing Hindu nationalists are doing rn! And have been doing forever! Protecting Western imperialists! Why do you think Modi is bootlicking the US so much? Do you think the farmers' protests and the after effects of globalization after 1991 are disconnected from Western imperialism?
Just because nationalists claim to be against white dominance doesn't mean they practice what they preach.
And this folks is why you need to incorporate class and gender in your analysis and not read about the work of only the middle class men of a community :)
Women and poor people matter too.
But unfortunately many earlier anti caste activists who were middle or upper class were anti Marxists and only later few like the Dalit Panthers and R.B More realized the importance of Marxist analysis for understanding modern caste based oppression more. Yes many Indian Marxists ignored casteism. But that does not mean we must dispose it as a useless theory.
But who tf cares about the Dalit Panthers or anyone else? Have you even heard of any other names that aren't Phule or Ambedka? Everyone followed and still follow people like Periyar, Ambedkar, Phule who were all from relatively well off family. And why will people who uncritically follow these people not think colonization was as bad? All of them attended British school and went for higher studies as well. The British was staunchly anti communist. They constantly resisted communist activists in colonial India. This is a privilege even today many people from oppressed castes cannot enjoy.
I have seen all these upper caste women, ignore people like me pointing this out. They think we're against education of oppressed castes (why would I advocate that for my own community?). But rather we take issue to these men ignoring their economic and male privilege and speaking on behalf of all of us.
A reminder that Periyar criminalized devadasis and read Ambedkar's arguments against Hindutva solutions to the Partition (hint: he cared more about the money that could be wasted in missionaries rather than the violence and human rights and unironically called Muslim people "tyrannical" and referred to "Muslim oppression" on Hindus). He was anti casteist, but he was Islamophobic.
To avoid with this kind of thinking, follow Dalit feminist theory. Dalit femininism from its inception has been pro Marxist (cause women make most of poor here). And they explain the effects of colonization on lower caste women (how the British introduced evidence act, a law that justified rape against lower caste women and let me remind you gang rape of lower caste women by upper caste men is a national issue. Ex the Manipur case, the rape of Phoolan Devi, the Hathras case etc). And how dowry (that earlier used to be a practice mainly amongst upper castes was now becoming dominant in lower castes as well due to capitalization of economy during colonial era). Maybe then you will understand why the British abolished sati but not any temple prostitution or other issues faced exclusively by women from oppressed castes. In fact they called upper caste women those who deserve to be protected but lower caste women were inherently deviant in their justification. But please go ahead and argue how imperialism brings "good things" sometimes.
Just read about caste reformation during colonial era. The choice isn't between hindutva and colonial era. The choice is between hindutva and hindutva along with colonial rule. Why do most liberals pretend the British never favored the Brahmins over everybody else?
White supremacy is so much better than Hindu supremacy for women of lower castes am I right guys?
This is so much better?
Also reminded of the "breast cloth" controversy. Do not mistake that anti caste activism is always anti caste for both Dalit men and women. Sometimes it favors Dalit men. And oppresses Dalit women further. Cause usually the colonizers never cared about oppressed castes but when they did, it was only for the men.
Ik many upper caste Marxists are not good at anti caste politics but I cannot separate Marxism from my anti caste or feminist politics. And as a Marxist from a formerly colonized country, I cannot ignore the imperial divide between the West (that is white dominated) and the global south (that includes India). You cannot separate the conditions of brown and black people today in the global south from the past dynamics of the colonizer and the colonized.
Lower caste women are obviously very poor. The poorest of all with least social protection. These upper caste women can sit on their asses and write papers and blogs on how much white supremacy was much cooler. But the ones from oppressed castes and working class? They don't have this privilege. They have the same burden of upper caste women related to marriage and domestic work and everything. But on top of that they have to do labor as well. And after globalization, when condition of "blue collar jobs" degraded (wages lowered, subsidies cut, worker protection rights gone etc) , the percentage of women in these fields increased. That's not a coincidence. Men always force women into lower earning occupations that have little job security. I am not gonna ignore this.
Fuck Hindutva. But fuck white supremacy too. For me neither is better. Both go hand in hand in fact. Look at the Hindu nationalists in France allying with white supremacists over shared conservative interests.

ok so it's being said that apparenty the tmc is heavily involved in this case? and that the principal is also heavily involved. it's probably a drugs and sex racket as far as people think
Yes. Yes. Yes. No one can come forward and say this directly but from what I have seen and heard from my friends and seniors and people who are there in R G Kar, these are true. Sanjay Ray is a fucking bogus. That bitch wasn't even there for the crime. Even if he was, he wasn't alone. Have you ever held a pelvic bone in your hand? I have and let me tell you, IT'S NOT FUCKING EASY TO JUST BREAK A PELVIC BONE LIKE THAT. You need 2-3 strong people AT LEAST. What happened to Didi was a gang rape and the perpetrators were her COLLEAGUES, other MEDICOS, PGTs and INTERNS. They are being shielded because they are heavily connected to the ruling party.
The only question now is, will the investigating agency be able to prove it and catch the actual culprits?

"Beti padhao, beti bachao"
Beti padh toh rahi hai, par Bach nahi rahi
Beta padhao, Beti bachao
Someone who spent her whole life working hard to become a doctor to save people's lives was brutally raped and murdered.
If a female is not even safe in her own workplace then I don't even know what to say anymore. Men fucking scare me.
A female does NOT exist just to satisfy the needs of a man. This is absolutely Disgusting.
People online saying that she wasn't even pretty and that she doesn't deserve the attention are the most mentally unstable, psychotic, disgusting, absolute pieces of fucking shit.
"Not all men" but it is all women...it is always men

Radblr is suddenly deciding that racism is ok. I'm literally seeing people say "Indian men are rapists because they're Indian and they're gonna bring that to Western countries" and then act shocked when I call out their racism. To clear things up about my stance, I acknowledge the issues of rape in India that Indian women face. However, the issue is systemic, not racial.
And FYI: your racism towards Indian men will affect Indian women too
Edit: we need to remember that gender equality is not an inherent part of western culture; it was actually historically very misogynistic. Gender equality in the west is a result of feminists fighting tooth and nail for legal rights and protections.

M@le violence does not exist in isolation. It is not an individualist event. It is not just the fault of some bad m3n, whom you call animals, because no m@le rapist and murderer is an animal. HE IS A M@LE.
Violence against women is a fundamental constituent involved in the maintenance of m@le supremacy. M@les love brutalizing women, just like what a parasite does to its host.
What happened to Abhaya was also perpetrated by the same m@le-supremacist and m@le-worshiping system. And now the whole world is capitalizing over the pain of yet another woman.
It's so frustrating how p0rn searches for her name by m@les is a surprise for everyone, when in actuality, this is what the patriarchal and misogynist institution of p0rnography is. An industry built over mass sexualisation, fetishization of the female body and rape culture, where every single m@le present on this planet can easily have access to m@le-created degraded existence of women to satisfy his depraved, predatory and rapey sexuality. This includes leftists’ favorite labour class, poor and homeless m@les too.
But this emerged as a surprise and I don’t blame anyone because in this m@n’s world, a woman is either a prude or a slut. She has to always conform to these labels and if she does not, then the world does it for her.
Regardless, I as a brown woman am not surprised. We yet again face racism allegations for calling out brown m@les for who they really are. We are yet again silenced by misogynist pro w@term3lon people to focus our energy only on G@z@ more. We are yet again accused of false notion of misandry for saying “all m3n”. We are yet again debating if women’s clothes hold any responsibility while little infant baby girls and skeletons of women in their graves scream justice. We are yet again asking women to be polite and not wish de@th on m@les, because every revolution can be violent and vengeful except the one solely for the female people.
Amidst this yet again “enough is enough” event, I refuse to do my feminism over statistics because no numbers are enough for this m@n’s world to treat female people as human beings and not objects. I support women who k!ll their rapists, I approve of revenge against all m@les, I don’t want candle marches, I want blood and painful de@th of all m@les.
