We never need these people -

Beautiful piece and very insightful. As a Brit, having worked all over the world in multicultural environments I recognise lots of this.

They're still here though. I've had my fair share of xenophobia and bigotry since I moved here too. No need to moan about it.

I’m not 50, but it’s a relief to be invisible to men like Yann MoixThe French novelist’s sexist, ageist, racist remarks caused offence – yet there’s some unexpected comfort in what he said, writes Eva Wiseman I so wish people (journalists!) would stop talking about this sorry excuse for a human being. Maybe then he would dry up and roll away. He also said that women ignore him as a man over 50. Of course that bit has been forgotten in the ensuing all to common holier-than-thou circle jerk. Don’t kid yourself your making any difference to the world other than giving a clown the publicity he craves. Why even write this article? Why do I have to see his horribly disfigured face? I’m sure Captain Ugly appreciates the attention.

Indian women just did a remarkable thing – a 620-km wall of protest | Snigdha PoonamThey were asserting their right to enter the Sabarimala temple in Kerala – and have given hope for women’s rights in India, says Snigdha Poonam, a journalist based in Delhi But they still didnt use toilet paper This whole situation kinda reminds me of Jim Crow legislation. In theory, women do have rights but Hindu nationalists are actively and violently suppressing those rights. Same with minorities in India... I hope the non-nationalists will gain the upper hand soon. Amazing -shame it was about religion-the right wing Hindu idiot men need to realise how Neanderthal their attitudes are
