Gender Agenda newsletter: Many angry men
The HinduWelcome to The Hindu’s newsletter that puts gender front and centre. Deepika Bhardwaj, a men’s rights activist, said: “#JusticeForAtulSubhash has created a storm & endless men are reaching out to us with stories more painful than the other”. One of the placards that caught my eye read, “Men are not an ATM.” Men, like women, suffer the constrictions of stereotypes and face consequences if they choose to break out of them. In 45 essays, three editors gather multiple travel accounts by Muslim women “who, alone or chaperoned, veiled or unveiled, travelled for work or pleasure” before “the ‘jet age’ transformed modern mobility.” The book documents their observations of the new and the unexpected, and of various aspects of life, including religious and social practices. However, a recent study in Social Psychological and Personality Science shows that “single women are happier than single men”.
