Thoughts of a Fake Feminist

My daily routine nowadays is to go to swimming classes, where after freestyle swimming for some time, the instructor of the class asked us all to do dog paddling. I was surprised to hear the words coming out of his mouth and felt uneasy. I questioned, "Why don't we give equal credit to female dogs? They are just as skilled in swimming. Shouldn't it be called 'bitch paddling' instead of 'dog paddling'?" I leave this question to you, the readers, and kindly request your opinions to be shared in the comment section.

While leaving my swimming class, another term caught my attention, reminiscent of the previous one: "Doggy style." I wondered, why not "Bitch style"? It's high time we acknowledge the contributions of both genders.

14 Peaks – Nothing is Impossible

“Giving up is not in the blood, sir. It’s not in the blood.” – Nimsdai Purja The Netflix documentary “14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible” is not just about climbing mountains — it’s about breaking boundaries, defying odds, and proving that with the right mindset, nothing is truly impossible. The man at the center of this unbelievable story is Nirmal “Nims” Purja, a former Gurkha and UK Special Forces soldier from Nepal, who set out to summit all 14 peaks above 8,000 meters. And guess what? He didn’t take years — he finished the mission in just 6 months and 6 days. Yes, you read that right. Before Nims, the fastest anyone had climbed all 14 of these deadly giants was close to 7 years. Nims came in, started “Project Possible,” and redefined what was considered humanly unachievable. But the journey wasn’t all sunshine and summit flags. From bureaucratic delays (especially for Shishapangma in China), bad weather, frostbite risks, and exhaustion to personal heartbreaks — this wasn’t...
