(1/6) I've been reading through the account of @LeftwingGc & their opinion that American radfems need to reject groups like WoLF which ally with right-wing organizations. I understand their concern that it could lead to us winning single-sex spaces and losing women's rights. ➡️

(2/6) I'm a lifelong liberal Democrat. I want to believe those who say that American feminists don't need alliances with the right, but the evidence so far doesn't support it.

We are losing on every front. Every court case that transactivists bring takes another chunk out➡️
(3/6) of women's sex-based protections & girls' futures.

With the ACLU on their side and the Democrats having gone so far left that they've traveled up the other side of the ideological horseshoe w/o realizing it, we're as outgunned as a kid waving a water pistol at a tank.➡️
(4/6) If there's a plan to get back what we've lost and reverse the tide while holding fast to our leftwing status, I want to hear it. But I haven't.

And what I do hear sounds awfully familiar: I've seen most of it over the last couple of years from certain British academic➡️
(5/6) feminists - women who have, not entirely without cause, been accused of snobbery and purity politics by many of the people who worked to bring about the recent string of UK successes against gender extremism.

Radical feminists in the US are a scattered group, dwindling➡️
(6/6) both in number & influence. We are vilified & rejected everywhere from college campuses to Hollywood writers' rooms.

Show me how continuing to stand alone will result in a better outcome than we have seen thus far, or I must support single-issue alliances with the right. /

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed
