Please scour the entire gamut of LI threads and show me an example where people in equivalent positions are being referred to as boys. You keep trying to seek refuge behind English norms, but neglect the social reality in the process. Everybody other than RW patriarchs can realise that. If you cannot, then that speaks volumes about you.
How did you come at a conclusion that OP is a patriarchal RW? What is this level of discourse? Please take a minute and introspect. @Moderator, you are heavily biased inasmuch as you are letting your personal prejudice influence the tag that you are adding to posts / comments. I remember you did this in the Indian History thread as well which was subsequently deleted / rolled back.
Be objective when you are moderating. You have to be above all this mudslinging the biased junta engages in.
Guest @ 3 has presumed that use of term girl is condescending - which to any rational person is preposterous to say the least. Just because she is a girl, doesn't mean that she is not an officer? What kind of a prejudiced mind do you need to have to think that both can't go along and / or are mutually exclusive?
Would you have referred to her male counterpart as a 'boy' I wonder? - You can only wonder because that is not the case. Young officers are referred to as boys / girls all over the world. As unprofessional as it may be, it has no connection with the 'patriarchal RW mindset' that you seem to despise and felt free to chime in. You have been as unprofessional to come to a conclusion without any rationale or reasonable probability.
Calm down, you don't have to over react all the time and / or make an issue out of thin air.
I get your patriarchy point but arent you not assuming that only RWs are patriarchal ??? even liberals are patriarchal that's why liberalism is smoked because of woke people
I hope all the bhakts are aware that she's from JNU? So she is, by most of your estimations, part of the "libtard" gang that would object to her being called "girl" in the condescending tone of the OP.
I thought you would be furious by that! Don't you say that JNU consists of anti nationals only? And why would one have to criticise other countries in order to get to right to criticise own government first? Is your degree in law or entire political science?
I see the thread is full of UPSC aspirants. One thing I do not get is why these first year bacchas get into fights and all all the time. Guy you need to get mature.
Toxic RW patriarchy strikes again. Among the top Google search suggestions since yesterday is "Sneha Dubey husband" and "Sneha Dubey married." So she can't be seen as a successful lady in her own right???
WTF is going on here? Comments attacking Imran Khan and accusing Pakistan of terror are being DOWNVOTED??? Is it now considered woke to support Pakistan and the Taliban?
My comment from last night is tagged "trollish" & "awaiting moderation" but other comments which are MORE trollish / "passionately" written are published
Shocked to see LI reader upvoting pro-Pak comments and downvoting anti-Pak comments. Shows that leftists and Talibanis are now distinguishable. Note also that these Modi-haters and SJWs are silent on Balochistan, Tibet and Xinjiang.
I guess they must also be furious that Sneha Dubey is a JNU alum!
Who are you to decide whether I'm wrong or not? This is the issue with, you, libtards. Always, trying to shove your opinions down other people's throats while pretending to be the torchbearer of "rights". Calling someone boy/girl is NOT an issue at all. You just made a ducking issue out of it.
How can you call someone girl or even woman. You can't assume a persons gender unless they have mentioned it publically using pronouns. Not everyone is cisgender. There are non binary people.
Using 'girl' means you are infantalizing and trivializing thier existence, your toxic masculinity is seen in the post brave 'girl'. Many are telling that OP should have used women or birthing people - which is also sexist. The ideal term is a brave 'person' .
Womxn is always more inclusive than women. Women/Woman is not intersectional and contains man/men.
Girl, Woman are all used to toxic patriarchal sanghis to show off thier pride.
Don't assume anything,
There are men who lactate and become pregnant. Any kind of gendered language should be prevented. Feminism, Gender Studies and Intersectional theories should be made mandatory.
Nationalism and Hindu, Indian pride are also toxic; additionally for the OP.
It's an enemy country, a pain in the ass for the entire world. Pak deserves no sympathy. What she said was a befitting response to puppet Imran's falsehoods. And that my friend is one way to project 'Nationalism.'
Just that you wouldn't have used boy had it been a guy in the same position. If that's too difficult to comprehend, you should go back to law school and unlearn a lot more than you might have done during your time there.
"Girl" "Scorches" Is it just me, or does this post subtly reek of the mindset shared by a certain section of the electorate that voted Modi to power in 2019 based on the Balakot posturing? Also, how is even remotely relevant to this forum?
It's not really that hard. Try replacing it with the male counterpart in your mind and if that seems weird, then you shouldn't use it at all. Just the IFS or the Indian sec to the UN would have sufficed here. But I know that there are many mommy's boys here who have not been taught that at home in their childhood. Better they learn late than never.
IFS officer, Indian envoy to the UN, and still being referred to condescendingly as a 'girl'? Would you have referred to her male counterpart as a 'boy' I wonder? Patriatchal RWs are so easy to spot every time they open their mouth!
How is criticizing your enemy country brave? I mean had she been Pak citizen citicizing Pak govt or Indian citizen criticizing Indian govt that would be brave right?

It isn't particularly brave to read out a pre-prepared speech.
Just censor the objectionable part and allow the rest of it to be posted.

Pathetic.

You are not feminist/ally unless you shut up and give space to include intersectional people (Minorities, Oppressed Castes)

I don't understand what's wrong with girl/boy.
The only inclusive word is Birthing person or a person who prefers a pronoun or she/her.
