India: Woman beaten up, paraded half-naked over inter-caste affair Dubai: She screamed and begged for mercy, but nothing stopped the men from brutally thrashing the 19-year-old with sticks, stripping her and parading her half-naked. These men were her own family and she was being punished. What for? The tribal woman's alleged crime was that she had fallen in love and eloped with a man from a different tribe. A disturbing video of this incident that occurred in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh's Alirajpur district on September 1, has gone viral on Twitter.We may have reached the 21st century, but caste-based violence still exists in India.

An American soldier in Manila rescuing a wounded Filipino girl Time: February 1945 Sources: MacArthur Archives While the Rape of Nanking in China is slowly making its way into mainstream media and educational systems, the Manila massacre is still struggling to get recognition regardless of the inexplicable inhumanity involved, matching even that of Nanking. The Japanese occupation of the Philippines' capital started after five months of fierce fighting against US forces during the early days of the Pacific War. Manila was declared an "open city" (undefended and exempt from enemy aggression) on December 26, 1941, by American General Douglas MacArthur, who vowed to return one day. His chance finally came on January 9, 1945, when MacArthur's 6th Army came ashore upon the beaches of Lingayen Bay to liberate the Philippines.

The Power of a Smaller Breast Breast reduction is all the rage in cosmetic surgery

Image
The Power of a Smaller Breast Breast reduction is all the rage in cosmetic surgery. Are women asserting their independence or capitulating to yet another impossible standard of beauty? The women walk into the surgeons’ offices with photos cued up on their phones. Miley Cyrus. Keira Knightley. Bella Hadid. I want my breasts to look like this, they say. They’ve already spent hours on YouTube watching plastic surgeons’ infomercials, on Instagram poring over before-and-afters, and on TikTok, where an army of ordinary women post about their breast reductions. “Ask me,” they say. Whether their nipple sensation has changed. What their boyfriends said. Whether they cared.Sometimes a woman walks into her initial consultation with the bralette she hopes to wear. Or she’ll say, “I can’t wait for my braless summer.” Or that she looks forward to shopping for a $15 bikini top at Target, something cute and bright or floral, signaling a life so carefree its wearer might never need fat straps or eye ho...

LIZ JONES: The world's most famous women are utterly desperate . Their belief they have to be naked to be noticed is driven by fear It is billed as the Oscars of the fashion world. The annual red carpet Met Ball takes place on the first Monday in May inside New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art (though on the strength of the photos here, it should be renamed the Metropolitan Museum of A**e), hosted by American Vogue's global editor-in-chiefIt is meant to be a showcase for creativity. It is meant to demonstrate how the fashion industry really is a great art form, which these days is wholly inclusive of different shapes, races, genders and ages. Its purpose is to raise funds, ostensibly from its $350,000 (£279,000) per table-of-ten ticket sales, for the museum's work (though I do wonder whether the biggest stars stump up a bean) and to that end, sets its invitees a different theme each year on which to base their outfits. This time, it was florals. What's not to love ...
