| This will be my go-to feminism image. |
Basically: don't be a douchebag about women's issues if you're not a woman. Don't be a douchebag about it even if you ARE a woman. Don't be a douchebag, period.
| My latest book is The One Who Swam With The Fishes.
"A mesmerizing account of the well-known story of Matsyagandha ... and her transformation from fisherman’s daughter to Satyavati, Santanu’s royal consort and the Mother/Progenitor of the Kuru clan." - Hindustan Times "Themes of fate, morality and power overlay a subtle and essential feminism to make this lyrical book a must-read. If this is Madhavan’s first book in the Girls from the Mahabharata series, there is much to look forward to in the months to come." - Open Magazine "A gleeful dollop of Blytonian magic ... Reddy Madhavan is also able to tackle some fairly sensitive subjects such as identity, the love of and karmic ties with parents, adoption, the first sexual encounter, loneliness, and my favourite, feminist rage." - Scroll |

For everyone who accuses women of "playing the gender card"
Basically: don't be a douchebag about women's issues if you're not a woman. Don't be a douchebag about it even if you ARE a woman. Don't be a douchebag, period.

Agreed.
ReplyDeleteOther examples that piss me off:
People who are a demographic majority pretending that there is no discrimination against a minority ("Oh, but it used to happen decades ago, not now!!Happens in villages not cities"....Gah!!) .True for race, caste, region, gender, religion, sexual orientation yada yada. True for human being across the world, but in India, discrimination is so refined, so insidious, so deep rooted, so sophisticated that I suspect we are easily the world leaders in this sphere.
