THANK YOU!

I don’t think these posts actually do any good. I think they are more harmful as they create unrealistic impressions of other cultures and encourage American Exceptionalism. See all the commentators who are posting about how ALL Indian men are misogynistic and then look at how many stars these comments receive and the…

The Salad Bowl - refuge for those who want to remain sane on kinja.

No I get you. if you point out the racism and smugness, you get accused of defending those nasty men. I’ve decided that every time there’s a new post about India, i’m gonna save myself the trouble and just head on over to The Salad Bowl

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…

I’m just going to say this: when I was raped, my Indian brother was the first person to say it wasn’t my fault, to trash the people who said it was, and to encourage me to go to the police.

YEP. I’m just like:

When people try to pull this “India needs feminism more than the US” bullshit, I remind them my grandmother became a physician and anesthesiologist in India (in a city which would become Pakistan after the partition) in the 1940s. I know it’s a single case I present, but I don’t know how many women were doing that in…

I’m also super into hearing the opinions of the white ladies who went to India once and are now card-carrying experts on all the various issues of “that country” and perfectly poised to dispense well-meaning advice.

Jezebel has a huge race problem. I know a lot of the commenters here are very smug in their feminism and progressiveness, but I don’t see much of a difference between some of you and the commenters on Fox News. And I can at least excuse some of the Fox News people on the grounds that they’re uneducated and don’t know…

I really just can’t get over this post. It’s actually so horrible and racist. I cannot believe someone on Jezebel would type this up and submit it and people would actually recommend it.

...you know, people in India that only read about American men through the news would have the same exact thing to say.

It’s frustrating seeing videos like these posted for clicks and comments on Jezebel. This video was not made to enlighten the West about acid attacks. It is part of a local campaign to put pressure on government officials to regulate the sale of acids. This is missed by the commenters, who eat this stuff up with a…

Wow. Just wow. You’re an unabashed bigot.

So predictable it's insulting.

I know right

Aaaaand there it is. I knew thread was on its way

This is so sad and awful and no and stop. While we’re at it, I despair of people who feel the best way to be outraged over misogyny is to be really fucking racist, when 24 people per minute are victims of rape, violence, or stalking in the US and two women are killed by current or former partners every week in England…

This. The comments above trouble me.

Awesome men of many nationalities rarely make the news. Bad men do. We have acid attacks in the UK as well - some of whom are by done by women and men. See the cases of Naomi Oni and Katie Piper.
