How Do You Solve a Problem Like Dhaaruni?

First of all, I have little faith that anybody doing Afghanistan whataboutism cares about women whose oppressors are men of color and second of all, I'm three generations away from my great-grandmother being married off at 13 to a man a decade older and outliving 6 out of her 13 children, and just two generations away from my grandmother being married off as a teenager and having three kids by the age of 20 and her youngest son dying when she was just 22.

Like, I told my dad about this Congressional race and he straight up was like "There's zero way an Indian doctor can beat a former NFL kicker in a Trump+3 district" and I didn't realize he was that ... blackpilled about American racism and resigned rather than outraged about it.

My collective Wario is all the pathetically male-centered women of Substack that think their badly written and completely unedited journal entries about their ops, who don't even register their existence, are worth publishing.

Just profoundly undignified behavior all around.

To say what everybody else is whispering, this is about Hillary Scholten (D-MI) and John James (R-MI)

Scholten's soon to be ex-husband filed for divorce under objectively horrific circumstances (not disclosing the details publicly because it's not anybody's business), there isn't even a power imbalance here, and her only mistake is having an affair with a married man.

Given how many Republicans and progressive Democrats are gloating about this (Scholten is a moderate/Blue Dog that flipped a Republican-held House seat and now wins it by double digits), it's perfectly obvious that they don't care about the sinfulness of infidelity (I do for the record) or John James' wife's feelings, they're just reveling in Scholten's humiliation and hoping they electorally benefit
