An earnest take on feminine hygiene
|

He continues to be there for the whole of 2 hours 20 minutes, unabashedly focused on the 5-day monthly "shame" that poor rural women go through. And thats why PadMan is, well, PadMan.

Reading other women's #MeToo stories brings back memories of my sexual abuse as a young girl growing up in the late 1970s and 1980s in India.
Like many women, I couldn't talk about it then. India had a tradition-bound society with strict gender norms and expectations. But a lot has changed since.
A new and powerful anti-sexism movement began in India, long before the present day feminist resurgence in the US, as I explore in a book I recently co-edited .
New Modes of Protest
In the early 21st century, millennial Indian women launched a radically new kind of feminist politics that had not been seen before. Inspired by a vocabulary of rights and modes of protest used by the youth across the world, such as Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring, they initiated a series of social media campaigns against the culture of sexual violence.

This week his successor announced the closure of one of Arpaioâs signature projects, a sprawling outdoor tent encampment where inmates, compelled to wear pink underwear and striped jumpsuits, were regularly used as backdrops for the sheriffâs boastful disquisitions t... |
