lol you dismissed all the replies to you? really?

internalized misogyny is a nasty, nasty thing

the comments, not the article. The article was good

I think it does depend on the socioeconomic background but I feel you. Jez does this to all non white countries. There’ll be numerous posts about Boko Haram, but none about them criminalizing FGM. Tons of posts about the rapes in India, but none about the first trans college head. Even the posts about rapes or acid…

YEP. I’m just like:

I know right

I know right. White Feminism strikes again. I’m sure the woman thought she was really helping out Indian women by doing that.

Ok hon.

reminds me of this:http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-tre…

all their “anecdotes” about how all their business interactions with Indians go bad and how most Indian men are pigs *barf*

I’m just gonna repost one of my comments : Folks at Jez haven’t figured out a way to discuss the misogyny of Indian culture without being self righteous and racist about it.

You might as well be upfront about the xenophobic things you want to say

lol that was my first thought

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Puberty is often when girls are at their most vulnerable, and it angers me that they have to put up with this shit.
It also strikes me that when girls develop early, it somehow makes people skeptic that they’re being sexually harassed. They’re always undertones of “you’re asking for…

The US is a pretty powerful country lol. If The Donald makes President, we’re all fucked.

I remember being jealous of my twin sister because she hit puberty earlier than me and developed hips & breasts over the summer we were 10. I was so upset I didn’t get to go to special shopping sessions with my mom for ‘woman’ things.

Yep, he’s not worthy. Probably no mortal male is

I feel like the least we could do for those two glorious women is to not pit them against each other over Drake. That is one whiny dude. He’s not worthy of Queen Serena or Queen Nicki.
