    the girl came right and we went a little left

    Wild understatement:

    The girl moved a barely percievable 1 inch right into the centre of the lane she was already driving straight forward in, the car drove up from behind, going much faster, and swerved diagonally across 2 whole lanes to intercept her.

    Yikes. Another day, another reason for north Indian men to stay home and do housework.

    Women in india are safer without them.

      I blame western style “male/alpha influencers”. I bet you any amount of anything and peer into their socials you will see quotes from bizarre characters such Tate, and so on. Having a backbone in this scenario would be to know when one was in the wrong and admit rather than hiding behind walls of evidence that proves otherwise.

        The Indian patriarchal system of unopposed abuse of females is what western alpha influencers aspire to…

          It’s Honestly more complicated than that, and it’s same regardless any culture. Almost every culture has rules for both men and women. I won’t deny men have it more Laxed, but if you actually know about Indian culture, men have it really strict too. Plenty of restrictions on what married men can and can’t do.

          Now I don’t wanna go into rant of how men have gotten corrupted, but the power lied in the hands of men, which means they set the rules.

          And I’m not trying to say Indian system isn’t deeply patriarchal. Not so fun fact, a generation or two ago, it was common for the husband’s family to burn his wife alive if the dowry wasn’t paid. Dowry is a huge sum of money that the women’s family pays to her bridegrooms family.

        I had another go and I understand it now, but bruh, it’s pretty damn fucked. I hate headline grammar. It’s so unnecessarily complicated. Sometimes they’ll even make it LONGER for the sake of sounding like asshats in this way.
