mard ko dard hoga

“Her name was Asia. His was Europe. Her name was silence. His was power. Her name was poverty. His was wealth. Her name was Her, but what was hers? His name was His, and he presumed everything was his, including her, and he thought he could take her without asking and without consequences”

So many feminist science topics are touched upon that I really appreciate, especially the casteism and relationship between science and Brahmanism in chapter 2

Fascinating so far

Really enjoying this book so far

Fight the patriarchy and stop shaving!

there is no way to live in a body on an earth in a universe this complex and not carry questions in your pockets like accumulated change. i have come to fear my lack of answers far less than humans who claim to have them all.

code switch. “why should my tongue choke on itself for my intelligence to be proven? i will not call my voice colloquial when yours is always welcome in its natural form. my words nach b/w two languages fighting over them… i will not italicize all the parts of myself that make no sense to you.”

“product recall. in this world worth is defined by the way poreless skin stretches across correctly chiseled bone by the places where fat strategically stores itself by the obedience we hold against our own heads—safety removed as we discard all the pieces of us that do not fit within the plastic mold” I don’t typically read poems but wow, every page is so empowering & beautiful. I am loving this book so far

1.5/5 so far
