"Won't marry if not given the right to rape" has to be the scariest thing I've heard a man say in recent times, and I've covered the Crime beat in India for 16 years.

Children are a part of public spaces as much as adults. Do men apologise for talking loudly, manspreading, and in general, behaving uncouthly? Why are then mothers expected to make a "gesture" simply because their child exists?
On a 10-hour journey from South Korea to the United States, a thoughtful mother distributed over 200 personalized bags to fellow passengers. Each bag was equipped with sweets, chewing gum, and earplugs, serving as a preemptive apology for any disturbance her 4-month-old son, Jun Woo, might cause if he cried. Inside each bag was also a note, introducing Jun Woo and expressing his possible anxiety about flying for the first time. The note charmingly asked for the passengers' understanding, suggesting they use the earplugs if needed, and wished them a pleasant trip. This gesture was a considerate acknowledgment of the other passengers' comfort and space.

Men are terrified of women getting ahead. They are particularly scared that women will find out that "work" isn't the big thing they have been making it out to be to belittle the backbreaking household labor women do and that men are the actual freeloaders.
Japan's medical schools have quietly rigged exam scores for more than a decade to keep women out of school. Up to 20 points out of 80 were deducted for girls, but even then, some girls still got in.

A viral video of an elated father carrying his newborn baby in a basket in the midst of floods in #Silchar, #Assam has been doing the rounds. Although the video is cute, it also tells a grim story of the state of infant #healthcare in the country.
