I am male, but I'm a strong feminist. I refuse to use GoDaddy for hosting because of their degrading and objectifying advertising campaign. But there's a problem stemming from two different views on feminism. It seems like there are two distinct sides, and no neutral ground, for women's rights, and how one goes about fighting for them. On one hand, you have sexually repressed apes perpetually abusing women and nobody…
I don't think its right to call them two sides, when "sexually repressed apes perpetually abusing women" are million times more than "clinically insane extremists"
What? The point is that people are freaking out on normal and moderate people doing nothing while there are still extremely serious and obvious cases actually worth freaking out about.
Gandhi said "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated." I guess Gandhi forgot that cows in India really do have it pretty good. Unfortunately, we, the people of india, haven't been able to pass a vital measure of moral progress: how do we treat our women. The woman taking a walk, travelling on public transit or the countless other examples that the aut…

I am male and not a feminist, because I disagree with their man-hating propaganda ("A women needs a man like a bicycle needs a fish"). But I am all for equivalence and my wife is my equal as well as my partner (well ... if I admit it, she's my better half in almost every way). I think I'll go hug her - bye.
>I disagree with their man-hating propaganda ("A women needs a man like a bicycle needs a fish")
How in the world is that man-hating? Would it be woman-hating to say "A man needs a woman like a bicycle needs a fish"?

Gandhi was also a known pedophile. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2012/12/29...
Nothing in the article you linked supports your claim. It doesn't even mention the words "Gandhi" or "pedophile".
Intrigued by your claim, I turned to Google to find more. The only credible link was an article by the Huffington Post [1], and the claim had been redacted.

I was intrigued too, but was traveling at the time when the reply came in; thanks for clearing that up.

RTE is leading to more and more illiteracy. RTE is a ploy to shut down private schools aimed at poor students and ensure the total government control on primary education.
I'm looking at her list of things she has to do at the bottom of the article. My wife and daughters do most of those (including a modesty scarf)...and we live in the USA.
Do your wife and daughters do those things for the same reasons as the author? If so, I'm curious about where you live. Because just a walk through the local mall (granted, affluent suburban Seattle) indicates to me that the fears of the author are not shared by the women in my area of the USA.
One more article which goes on about how bad it is for women in India without suggesting any method of setting the wrong right. Women are also considered sacred but as goes for any religion, people take and interpret what they find suitable for themselves. The laws are there for namesake and enforced only when the perpetrator is from the lower rung of the society while powerful criminals go free. Also women from the economically and socially backward are not even aware of the protection the law guarantees them. We do not need one more article which goes on and on about how bad it is in India. We get that from the media everyday. We need practical solutions and discussions around it.
