India, Dec. 13 -- On our first trip as a newly married couple, I fell sick. I could hardly move around or eat. The husband did everything for me until I requested that he wash the soaked undergarments. "What? You are on your period!""Yes, so?""I can't." He said it bluntly. That was enough to ruin the romance. ***Today, the same man sits beside his youngest, talking to her as she lies on her bed, writhing in pain from the cramps. He even removes her 'panties' and soaks them in a tub.

Trigger Warning: This deals with graphic description of violence and may be triggering for survivors. Let me start with a disclaimer. I have not watched Animal, nor do I ever intend to. The trailer itself was hard to digest with its heady cocktail of toxicity, misogyny, and violence. People who were brave enough to watch it confirm that the ugliness has been amplified manifold in the exhausting three hours and twenty-one minutes of run time.
