So well-articulated and you've also done a great job at dissecting the situation and going deeper into exploring "masculinity" with receipts.
It was so refreshing to read a perspective so in tune with some of my thoughts that somehow get choked in conversations with the men in my life who don't care to listen to me when raising questions about how unfair it is for them in modern times.
Thank you for documenting this in such a great manner.
Well written Nishad , I hope such articles should be read by more and more men to bring some discipline verbally or broadly speaking in their actions . More power to your pen
Great piece! Nothing Indian men say surprises me anymore, which is depressing in itself. I didn’t like Off Campus but did appreciate the positive masculinity portrayed in the show, especially with how misogynistic the same characters are in the book (and it’s written by a woman! 😭). That conversations about consent amidst men are a female fantasy rang so true—may it be our reality someday.

Thanks so much Medha!
I hope this reaches more men! And yes, the conversation on consent was the most touching scene in Off Campus, stood out to me too.
Thanks so much Tanvi — and yes, that scene was definitely quite refreshing to see!
This was beautifully written although the topic & subject are jarring, even traumatising. I actually enjoyed reading it. 🙏
Thanks so much Naheed. Yes, incredibly traumatising and frustrating but I felt like I had to say something.
An amazing read, loved your take on masculinity
