Ms.Matchsticks and the Radical Feminist Blog
The intersection of the collective experiences of womanhood everywhere in the world always kept Ms.matchsticks up. Actually not just women, but children, men, little boys. Everyone.
It's a big price to pay to feel far too much, and be able to accommodate so many ideas, feelings. No wonder, he thinks Ms.Matchsticks is insane. Trying to bridge this gap between her mind and soul, she finally managed to get the hell out of that bed.
Damini's story is still haunting her. She keeps wondering if there was more that she could have done for Damini. But, anyway everyone has their cross to bear. Ms.Matchsticks carries hers everyday. Everywhere she goes.
Most of Ms.Matchstick's days pass by as an idle writer taking down two hundred trolls on news comment sections. But, last night was a little different.
From all the feminist blogs she comes across, why is it so hard for a brown girl to have a conversation with a western feminist? Is it because of her color, she automatically must be told that she needs rescuing?
Ms.Matchstick spent two hours last night trying to tell a white lady on a news comment thread that she is fine and does not need to be schooled on how little rights she has. We all know having a vagina in 2018 is not fun, anywhere in the world.
Of course Ms.Matchstick knows that the other part of the world is equally if not far worse off when it comes to vagina pride, but still, believing that she can is going to get her a good night sleep.
She doesn't worry about the rapes, she worries about the culture that supports oppression in the name of being the savior.
Who cares! Ms.Matchstick knows the bitter truth. And, she also know how to put all of it the corner and hustle forward.
Not very long ago, she was groped by three unknown men on the road. You are right! She couldn't do much. She screamed and ran and pushed. The only person she spoke to about it, was colder than Siberia.
Will Indian men ever understand that there are no shortcuts to abuse? or will they always ponder and question the legitimacy of a violation. It's sad. So many questions, so many grey spots and so many failed men who think they know it all.
The calls still come, unknown men still knock, Ms.Matchstick still gets followed back home.
Are penis holders ever going to stand up? or will they apply their own flawed dichotomies of saving rape culture? Who knows!
It's time to wear her pants now.
