Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
This month’s brand new 15-minute episode of the Modern Family podcast features Dr. Anand Philip a.k.a. @uberschizo.
Podcast by Amrita Rajan
Although his interests are varied, Dr. Philip is one of the rare male bloggers to write about feminism and gender violence at the aptly named Cerebral Salad. In a free-ranging conversation, we covered:
Gender Violence
– What made him first pay attention?
– Why don’t more people think it’s a problem? Is it because people are disinclined to believe survivors?
– Abuse survivors who’re looking for any sliver of an opening to end their silence
– The impact of a recent article by feminist author Meena Kandasamy, detailing her abuse
Men and Gender Violence
– Why don’t more men discuss the subject?
– The paucity of academic research into domestic violence as inflicted by men, but especially as inflicted upon men
– The need to reclaim the men’s rights movement from misogynists
The Modern Indian Man
– The emotional availability of the Indian male
– Marriage as a social contract to which you’re automatically committed
– The changing ideal of the perfect mate
21st Century Marriage
– The option to walk out – a necessary part of marriage and its biggest challenge
– Increasing expectations
– “Love is not a feeling, it’s an act of your will.”

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
