Pagedar also speaks out against slut shaming, phallic aggression, and sexist Honey Singh songs.

The spoken word poem is a fitting accompaniment to Aranya Johar’s phenomenal poem, ‘A Brown Girl’s Guide to Gender’ and the conversation about male privilege and misogyny that it tries to initiate. Watch both, and absorb as much of their piercing commentary on gender as you can.
