+1 to your second point, let's not :O at this ~third world~ country like there aren't these same issues around the world and as if their women aren't capable of talking about their own issues.
da but let's also take in the fact that apparently, a women is more likely to be attacked in america than she is india (according to a lot of feminist tumblrs, idk their sources)
i'm indian. don't fucking tell me how to discuss violent crime in my own fucking country and do not fucking tell me what the discussion should be and how it should be moulded.
do not fucking ignore nuance and intersectionalities to make this some first-world white woman's crusade.
lmao shut up no one cares if you're indian no one was even talking about india sit down jfc stop making this about your own issues op was talking about her hatred towards men and nothing else. so just stop before you look dumb rn lol.
oh this wasn't specifically directed at this comment or this website in particular, i should've specified. more a general statement about the way we talk about violence in other countries.
and i definitely wouldn't have left this comment if i knew this was going to turn into a shitstorm of problematic comments and trolling, i'm sorry you have to deal with this :\

- in a country of more than a billion people and a billion more contradictions, a lot of positives and progress with women's rights get hidden.
