Women 18+ - Micro Feminism & Moral Policing Experiences

Story request for #IndianExpress digital Hi guys, I am working on the following stories for the coming week. Kindly share your inputs if you relate to them: 1) What does Micro Feminism mean to you? Do share some examples when you had an experience that was a micro act of feminism. Such instances add so much value to the entire empowerment discourse that you begin to see it beyond a particular label. It reaffirms the thought that women empowerment is beyond any tags. It exists in the cracks. It exists in our way of being. And hence, it’s through these small acts that it gets revitalised. 2) Moral Policing: I’m sure all go you have seen the video of a college student from Gujarat who was booed for her choice of song at a college event. The song was deemed “inappropriate” by college authorities. However, she had to to through a lot of mental stress post that. There are many such cases where girls’ conduct has often been questioned. From their choice of outfit to their music taste, everything is always scrutiny, as if their existence depended on how many morally “appropriate” social parameters they meet. So, share your story of moral policing , when you thought your privacy, your freedom of choice, and expression was breached. These stories will appear on #IndianExpress digital. Looking forward to enriching responses. #mediarequest #journorequest #prrequest #feminism #moral #policing

Teens & Young Adults 18+ - Experiences With Parental Monitoring Apps

Journalist looking for your stories about parental surveillance apps like Bark, Aura, Life360, Qustodio, Family Link The r/teenagers mods approved this post. Hi! I’m Kelly, a journalist writing a feature about parental-monitoring apps: Bark, Aura, Qustodio, Family Link, Life360, and similar (see links to my previous work in my bio). The point of the piece is that we always hear about these apps from parents and almost never from those who actually live(d) with them. If you've had one of these apps on your phone, laptop, etc, I'd love to hear from you. Some specific things I'm trying to understand: \+ How you found out the app was there \+ What it actually did (and didn't do) \+ What you did about it (workarounds, conversations, anything) \+ How it affected things between you and your family \+ Concrete issues/problems they raised for you \+ How you feel about privacy now \+ Anything else you'd like to share Especially if you're 18+ and grew up with any of this:I'd love to hear about your relationship to online privacy now. Did being monitored as a teen change how you think about privacy as an adult? What you share, what you trust, what platforms you avoid? All experiences welcome. Comments are great if you're up for posting publicly. DMs also work if you prefer to be private. Anonymity is the default, and nothing you share gets quoted with anything identifying. Thank you!
