Modi, Trump, Netanyahu, Bolsonaro, Johnson, Sisi, etc: when we say state-sponsored patriarchy & authoritarianism go hand in hand,this is what we mean.

+20 women have accused Trump of sexual assault.

cw: rape - An Indian court found Kuldeep Singh Sengar, a former state lawmaker from the ruling BJP in #India's most populous northern state of Uttar Pradesh guilty on Monday of raping a teenager, the politician's lawyer said.
“The case was thrust into the spotlight last year when the accuser, who was a teenager in 2017 when she says she was raped, tried to kill herself, accusing the police of inaction.”
