Police abandoned Manipur women to mob that paraded them naked: CBI

The recent news about the horrific incident in Manipur where two women were abandoned by the police and handed over to a violent mob that stripped and paraded them naked is truly gut-wrenching. I cannot begin to imagine the fear and trauma these women must have experienced at the hands of such a barbaric act. It is appalling to think that the very people who are supposed to protect and serve the community turned their backs on these women in their time of need.

This incident sheds light on the deep-rooted issue of sexual violence that seems to plague certain parts of India.… Continue reading

Sydney shopping mall killer targeted women, Sydney police say

The recent tragedy at the Sydney shopping mall, where a deranged killer targeted women, is a chilling reminder of the dark forces at play in our society. The fact that the perpetrator specifically sought out women as his victims is a stark indication of the violent misogyny that seems to be on the rise. It’s disturbing to think that there are individuals out there who harbor such deep-seated hatred towards women that they would resort to such heinous acts.

As I read through the accounts of witnesses and victims, it’s clear that this killer was not only a coward but also a deeply troubled individual.… Continue reading

Texas Republicans call for execution of women who receive abortions

As a woman living in Texas, I am absolutely appalled by the recent call by Texas Republicans for the execution of women who receive abortions. The idea that my own state’s politicians are advocating for such extreme and inhumane measures against women simply for making personal healthcare decisions is beyond disturbing. It is a blatant violation of women’s rights and autonomy.

The fact that these Republican officials are not only pushing for the death penalty for women who have abortions but also for those who undergo IVF procedures is a chilling display of their misogynistic and oppressive views. The idea that women should be punished for exercising control over their own bodies is abhorrent and goes against all principles of human rights and dignity.… Continue reading

Andrew Tate and brother detained in Romania over UK arrest warrant

As I sit here contemplating the news of Andrew Tate and his brother being detained in Romania over a UK arrest warrant, I can’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. The arrogance and audacity displayed by Tate, with his fanboy inadvertently revealing his plans to leave Romania and never come back, are almost comical. It’s ironic how someone who claims to be an alpha male finds themselves in such a predicament not once but twice under different nations’ warrants.

The fan base that Tate has cultivated, filled with individuals who idolize him and defend his every move, is disturbing. The recordings of him making fun of a woman he allegedly raped, her audibly crying, are chilling.… Continue reading

It’s not that MAGA doesn’t believe E. Jean Carroll — they just don’t care that Trump abuses women

It’s not that MAGA doesn’t believe E. Jean Carroll, they just don’t care that Trump abuses women. This statement perfectly encapsulates the mindset of many within the MAGA base. It’s not a matter of disbelief or lack of evidence; rather, it’s a conscious decision to support a leader who has a well-documented history of mistreating and disrespecting women.

Under Trump’s leadership, American conservatism has become even more repugnant in its treatment of women. The abuse that Trump has directed towards Carroll is celebrated by MAGA, as they view it as putting her in her place. Trump’s undeniable misogyny finds resonance within the MAGA base because it aligns with their own sexist and patriarchal views.… Continue reading
