This story was shared by the page Brown History on Instagram. Pablo Neruda is a Nobel Prize Winner.

The thing is many ‘great’ men have described their rape of women as sexual exploits. One that is shared with other men over drinks and parties. While other men laughed along.
A version of that happens today when ‘machans’ gather and talk about how many or how ‘correct’ a ‘figure’. (Tamil) Which ‘figure’ is easy
If you don’t speak Tamil you wouldn’t understand it.
A woman is a ‘figure’ to ‘correct’.
Or a women is an object for ‘padeyadam’.
A Nobel Prize Winner could write in his memoir that he raped a woman.
And still be regarded as one of the greats.

And people whine BUT WOMEN ARE EVERYWHERE!! WHY DO YOU NEED FEMINISM???
