Summary: This article focuses on the prominent misogynistic discourse in Chinese cyberspace. Through online observations of debates surrounding feminist proposals, it identifies three misogynistic forces: married women, future brides, and lower-class men seeking wives. Each group opposes women's rights proposals in their own way. The article argues that upholding the patriarchal marriage institution comes at the cost of vilifying women, oversimplifying issues with unwed childbirth, and dismissing non-heterosexuality.

Summary: Although sexuality is prominent in traditional Islam, it has become a taboo subject in Pakistan, particularly female sexuality. Prudish attitudes towards female sexuality not only contribute to population explosion but also impact women's health. This paper examines thirteen Josh condom commercials which were initially banned due to indecent content in Pakistan. The study explores how female sexuality is portrayed in the ads and identifies three common themes. By using Kenneth Burke's rhetorical theory, the paper argues that the commercials failed to resonate with viewers because they overlooked cultural views and social expectations on female sexuality. The conclusion highlights the importance of addressing social factors that restrict women's sexual and reproductive agency to effectively control the population growth. Additionally, commercials that reinforce blame on women can further harm them and fail in achieving the goal of population control.

Summary: Drawing on the work of Judith Butler, this article explores the gendered experiences of women in Australian academia, focusing on the notion of vulnerability in/as resistance. Through an arts-based research method, the study identifies three key forms of vulnerabilities and examines how these vulnerabilities are navigated in the context of academia. The findings suggest that the masculine and highly individualized structures of academia play a role in shaping within-gender trouble. This study extends Butler's understanding of vulnerability in/as resistance by highlighting the fragmented and sometimes impermeable space between vulnerabilities and resistance.

Summary: This article reports on the perception of young people and stakeholders working in the area of violence against women (VAW) in Ireland regarding young men's role in addressing VAW. Men are seen as well positioned to intervene as active bystanders and to engage in feminist allyship. However, various barriers and ethical concerns need to be addressed, such as the privileging of men's perspectives over women's, pluralistic ignorance, and a tendency for confrontational approaches. Given the presence of political forces that oppose feminist activism, it is crucial to address these issues.

Summary: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following childbirth is a significant mental health risk for women globally, particularly in low-income countries. Women in these settings face unique challenges, including limited access to healthcare and social support, cultural norms, and stigma surrounding mental health. The lack of awareness and training among healthcare professionals in recognizing and treating postpartum PTSD is a major barrier. Therefore, raising public awareness, providing mental health support and resources, and integrating postpartum mental health into medical education are key to addressing these challenges.

Summary: Indigenous language activists often discuss incommensurability, linking language and knowledge as integral elements of Indigenous ways of life that cannot be separated. According to these scholar-activists, what cannot be translated in Indigenous languages often reflects what is incomparable in Indigenous worlds. This article draws upon Indigenous language-reclamation work to outline a nonexhaustive taxonomy of incommensurability in Indigenous philosophy of language, and suggests ways in which coalition relationships can be built to accommodate different varieties of incommensurability.
