If I had a Nobel or Pulitzer for articles and blogs I would give it this one... Kudos Mohi Kumar for shredding Lavanya Sankarans published essay in The New York Times titled The Good Men of India. (y) //What she fails to see is that many predators arent disconnected, but rather are part of these intricately woven domestic tapestries — in fact, they shroud themselves in these tapestries, using the fabric as camouflage to keep exploiting and abusing children. Meanwhile, theyre dining with, drinking with, shaking hands with the Common Indian Males who, on some level, know whats going on. After all, these Common Indian Males were once Common Indian Children too. Now that theyve grown up and found their place in Indias patriarchy, theyre failing in their duties as heads of their households, failing in the very essence of Main hoon na — a Hindi phrase meaning Im here for you that Sankaran cites as a motto for the Common Indian Male. Our fathers and husbands must reverse these failures before they can truly be classified as Good Men.// via Men and Feminism
