There are two statistics in NFHS-5 that ought to be a much greater source of worry for the Assam government and for all who care for girls and women. Women’s job opportunities in the state declined sharply over the previous decade, and the sex ratio at birth in urban Assam is worryingly low at 916 girls per 1,000 boys. In the face of such facts, why is “child marriage” becoming the state’s number one law-and-order problem? Putting husbands, fathers or priests in jail will not empower women or stop underage marriage. It will only make women even more vulnerable, encourage concealment, and strengthen prejudices against minorities and the poor.

Aww, I got an angry anonymous TRA calling me a nazi supporter for not wanting trans women to compete in female swimming sports... It would be a big waste if I were to block such a cute bait attempt! 🤭

today a man from Denmark told me I should go back home to Europe often so that I can remain cultured, stay sharp and not become “dumb” in America. The absolute urge I had to tell him that 8 of the world’s 10 best universities (and 38 out of the top 100) are in the United States would shame my ancestors. I’m not even american but white, mainland europeans have such a superiority complex and for what?
