Hindi and Urdu literature have some amazing women writers who talked about sexuality of women in rural India, I get you guys talking about English literature because of your education and bringing up in big cities but I'd have loved if you guys talked about Krishna Sobti, Amrita Pritam, Kamla Bhasin who have done amazing work in bringing out the narrative of sexuality of women in rural India. One book that was amazing according to my opinion was Annie Zaidi's one thousand years of women's writing, which I found to be a phenomenal compilation. Nonetheless, It was an amazing episode and I learned a lot, thank you.

Sharin, Anuya, please make longer episodes without hesitation. I loved the long conversation in the middle and also the conversation around Aziz Ansari's case and I truly admire your courage that you expressed your opinions about it regardless that these may be unpopular opinions. Okay, one book I was constantly remembering throughout the episode was The Color Purple by Alice Walker. I know it is read popularly because of race issues but the book is so much more than that. And two shows I would love if you watch are - 'Sex-Rated: Vice's Guide to Sex in India', it is a four-episode long series hosted by Rytasha Rathore and, the other series is Sweet/Vicious. Sweet/Vicious because you guys didn't like 13 Reasons Why. I think you would like this. It was cancelled after one season though.Sorry for the long comment!

I think you all should watch "One day at a time", it is really insightful, humorous and talks about a lot of important topics. Also, consent is not just yes and no, it is way more complex than that, it is great that cases like Aziz's came forward because they made us question our idea of consent.

My Aziz Ansari Theory in points. 1. She was a photographer and not a struggling actress in Hollywood ..There wasn't a power dynamic there or any sense of superiority in their sexual interaction. 2. Yes, he was inappropriate in his behavior but he called her a cab and texted her in the morning . He obviously thought that she was cool with it. No guilty conscience there. 3. When the matter came out , he didn't pay her hush money or filed a case against her . He kept quiet and did not even defend himself. This isn't a MeToo. This was a bad one night stand experience .

Lihaaf really wasn't a tale about LGBTQ love, it has to be understood in terms of the lopsided power dynamic at play between begum jaan and the narrator (who she even refers to as "child"). It's not love, it's pedophilia and sexual abuse. You can find out from this passage from the english translation. “Come on, I’m not going to eat you up. How tight this sweater is! And you don’t have a warm vest on.” I felt very uncomfortable. “How many ribs does one have?” She changed the topic. “Nine on one side, ten on the other,” I blurted out my school hygiene, rather incoherently. “Take away your hand... Let’s see... one, two, three...” I wanted to run away, but she held me tightly. I tried to wriggle out and Begum Jaan began to laugh loudly. To this day whenever I am reminded of her face at that moment I feel jittery. Her eyelids had drooped, her upper lip showed a black shadow and tiny beads of sweat sparkled on her lips and nose despite the cold. Her hands were cold like ice but clammy as though the skin had been stripped off. She had put away the shawl and in the fine karga kurta her body shone like a ball of dough. The heavy gold buttons of the kurta were open and swinging to one side. It was evening and the room was getting enveloped in darkness. A strange fright overwhelmed me. Begum Jaan’s deep-set eyes focused on me and I felt like crying. She was pressing me as though I were a clay doll and the odour of her warm body made me almost throw up.~ Just because it's gay, it's not love! (I say being a part of the community so don't @me)

R K Narayan had a great view about female rights and sexual liberation, in The painter of signs. Also Urmila, originally written in Marathi is also a great take by a male author. If you haven't already please please please read "Her body and other parties", it is a short story collection and i found it heart wrenchingly beautiful. I completely support Anuya's argument on Aziz's case. Sex education is an amazing show! When people mention a country they tend to only think of the rulers of the country as a portrayal of all the people residing in that specific country. If you actually visit Saudi Arabia, women are a lot more sexually woke, compared to men. Women in Saudi, Especially in malls and at beaches evetease men. And men there have to be extremely cautious because if the woman as much as complains about someone looking at her the wrong way, he is a dead man. And Saudi women have more freedom in checking out guys, than any other nationality. It's a reverse me too. Obviously the Saudis banned the book because they cannot let the world see the reality, like any other place on the planet, anything that is banned, is actually more prevalently present in those areas. Also a woman who has been with someone else, and then they broke up, has literally no stigma, that is straight up something she never experienced but thought others did. Why she propagated a view that is clearly not anywhere near accurate is beyond me.
