   This short (4'30'') poetic performance by Indian actress and activist Kalki Koechlin is breathtaking.

   It's called "Dear Men"

     @si_irini

     I have now a subtitled version online.

     However: There are some references to Indian news and culture, we might not entirely understand.

     I don't think, it takes anything of the message away.

     On the contrary: It shows, how universal the vicious news cycle, we are all part of, really is.

     I think it's perfect
     Thank you, Mina

     I'm just trying to find the text...
     I don't understand everything...you know my English...I'm already struggling to read english...

     In any case, really impressive
     Everything the video, the text, Kary is impressive just stunning

     You somehow show me which project I should tackle next...
     Thanks to @HistoPol
     I had already started something...
     Heading..."The Indictment paper" because it's so huge so far
     Somehow my things are getting longer and longer

     Let's finalise this thread by perhaps one of the most impressive poetry performances I have ever seen.

     "The Printing Machine" deals with a variety of topics, but predominantly with the commodification of sexual violence by a ruthless media industry feeding the public's morbid fascination with this topic.

     Written and performed by Kalki Koechlin

     Even if it weren't for the message, her voice alone is enough reason to watch it.

     2/?

     When I found the performance's ⬆️ video, I already knew Ms. Koechlin, as some time before I had stumbled upon

     "Rape - It's your fault".

     It's tough stuff. Only watch (3'35'') if you're able to stand hefty sarcasm.

     Sometimes, I miss the voices from India, Vietnam, Nigeria and other places, I used to have regularly in my Twitter bubble.

     The Fediverse is still ethnically and socially a not very diverse place.

     #InternationalWomensDay

     I think every teenager and adult should listen to this impassionate speech by an #Indian actress on what it means to be a woman.

     I can agree with your summary, Mina.
     @mina.

     The #Dadaistic performance of #KalkiKoechlin, "The Printing Machine - Unblushed" is very impressive, artistic, and also disturbing...which is why I've added a #CW, as it might trigger a lot of people, some of whom are my followers.

     Any other adult should watch it.

     Further warning: near-native level of #English is required.
     As you've been so kind as 2 provide a subtitled version, that's easier😀

     @mina
     In contrast 2 her other 2 very impressive videos, this satirical clip of #KalkiKoechlin's did not convince me.

     I'm a true fan of the works of @thejuicemedia, who, arguably, are currently the benchmark for political and social satire in a video clip format around here.

     #Koechlin's clip is produced in that style +I can't even say that she did a poor job at mimicking it.

     I couldn't shake off the dissonance I felt b/w the subject and the style.

     I did! Repeatedly.

     But unfortunately, It didn't really work, except for the Germans and the Swiss (and there also only partly).

     Don't get me wrong: I love it here, but I wish, the Fediverse idea spread a bit more.

     I now have, and I've also commented on all 3 of them now.

     Due to several followers who are survivors of sexual violence, I had to remove my boosts of the last 2 about #Rape, as there is no content warning, and it would surely trigger them.

     Thank you for putting in the work!

     It is important.

     Stimmt.

     CW hätte es wahrscheinlich gebraucht. Allerdings ist die sexuelle Gewalt im Tröt-Text erwähnt.

     Insofern weiß man, worauf man sich einlässt.

     Ich habe hier Leute kennengelernt, die sich ganz bewusst, nur noch in ihrer Bubble aufhalten, weil die, die darin sind, um ihre Verletzlichkeit wissen.
     Ich halte es deshalb ganz strikt mit diesbezüglichen CW's und Hashtags.--Es kann sowohl manuell als auch appseitig automatisch ausgefiltert werden.
     Jede(r) kann dann selbst entscheiden, ohne ihn/sie bereits ein Wort triggern oder nicht.

     Yep.
     Mir ist da insbesondere eine Followerin von den britischen Inseln erinnerlich.
     Regelrecht "terrorisiert" durch die Medien hat sie sich gefühlt.
     Man kann das m.E. als Unbeteiligter nicht nachvollziehen.

     @HistoPol

     Das ist sicher wahr: Ich habe zwar auch einiges Schlechte in meinem Leben erfahren, aber nie¹ so, dass es mich wirklich traumatisiert hätte.

     Von daher ist Rücksichtnahme auf Menschen, bei denen es anders ist, tatsächlich angebracht.

     ¹Eine Sache doch (werde nicht drüber sprechen), aber da gibt es nichts Virtuelles (Text/Bild), das mich triggern könnte.
