There I was sitting with a cup of coffee in hand and skimming through various online news articles when I stumbled onto something that caught my eye and made the coffee in my cup boil from the heat emanating from my hands. " Women Retail Workers Make Less, Get Fewer Benefits Than Men, Study Finds ."...

On Tuesday March 22, the Vatican came out with an astonishing statement. It claimed that the human rights of those who openly objected to homosexuality were at risk , because they stood to be prosecuted or stigmatized for their beliefs. Now, basic freedom of expression guarantees that they would be allowed to express their views. Employment laws then step in, and it is possible that they may not...

Yesterday was the last day of the XIII National Conference on Women's Studies organized by the Indian Association of Women's Studies. I sat through the reports being presented by various sub theme co-ordinators. There were ten sub themes, but two common threads emerged. The first was emerging divisions within women. Divisions based not on traditional stratification such as caste or class, but on...

I am at the XIII National Conference on Women's Studies organized by the Indian Association of Women's Studies. Day three, attended a plenary focused on the academic aspects of Women's Studies. The tone was self critical, which is always good when academics analyze their field of study. I heard a number of questions posed by the presenters, and I would like to attempt some answers. The observing...

The article points out that Darwinian impulses make women crave stability. That the mass obsession with sexual conquest, which we've adopted off late, was therefore not working out for women. The article also suggests that women resist the peer pressure act...

I regularly read posts by others on feminism, and it is clear that the response is widely fragmented. It is heartening that more young women have off late at least started using the word, but there is a lot of conceptual debate still about what is and is not, a feminist. It's fairly endless analysis. I want to present three thoughts for the future through this post. To clearly establish what the...

I dislike what little I know of the dating culture. It's not just how Western women spend hours analyzing their dates. How can they? It's beyond pathetic. They get like brainless twits. Why should a man be that important? Get a career, get a hobby, do something constructive with your life. Grow up!! Also, the story always focuses on how the women go around searching for men. The ruling myth holds...
