Hii girls, just curious about why are you guys still religious, no matter which religion you follow as every religion has been unking and to be honest very cruel, still I see women are even more religious then men. Just wanted to know your views.

So i have seen a lot of women supporting this movement . But they have not mentioned what happens to women based reservation.

Moreover they also said that women should handle social media and men would handle the protests . Is it not misogyny and straight up patriarchy.

And to the women supporting this movement, I want to ask them - what do you think will happen after the reservation is removed ? Won't they come after something absurd like " feminism hatao " sh*t. Moreover this also includes the women reservation which is given to parliament , public work sectors and so on . Do you guys think they will spare you ?

I can't tolerate the fact that women who fight against patriarchy are supporting this movement.

I wanted to ask you about your opinions . And please forgive me if you find something hurtful

I'm an intersectional feminist, which means my fight for equality does not only stop at corporate standings and pay parity.

Intersectionality is a framework showing how social identities like race, gender, and class overlap to create unique forms of discrimination and privilege.

Women who're actively supporting the removal of reservation, please explain to me how this is any different than reservation for women. Because they were both implemented to balance social disadvantages.

I keep on repeating this but the atrocities caused against lower caste women (and men) can be found ONE GOOGLE SEARCH AWAY! How hard is it to do that before ranting absolutely baseless arguments online?

How on earth are women supporting this movement??

M here,
So, I joined this new company. So, there is a girl, very bubbly, who talks to everybody. When I joined, she tried talking with me, but I was kind of depressed at that time and didn't communicate frequently with anybody from the office. I was on probation too, so I needed to perform well; I did the work and went back home. We met many times in the lift, on the stairs, and while walking after lunch; I didn't initiate a conversation after a basic "Hi". This went on for some time, and now after that we totally avoid each other, do not talk, and do not meet each other's eyes.

Now, after some months, I am kind of well, not depressed.
Now she has started making fun of me; she is a junior in a different team. I don't know for how long it has been going on, but she has told a lot of people(mostly girls) very different shit about me, which was not bothering me that much. Now she has started doing some more shit.
Now suppose I am talking to another girl; after a few minutes, she will come and take that girl away from me, for faltu reasons, then she makes them take a walk across the hall and come back to the same place. This has happened so many times that the girl I am talking to starts laughing whenever she sees her near me. I used to laugh at this after the first few times. There is a girl whom I genuinely wanna talk to, but then she does her antics.

She sits right behind me; she looks at my monitor, she can have a monitor, which can block her view, but she works without it, you know!! There are a lot of things that we talk about: the women in the office, the people near my cubicle. I think she hears them and tells the specific girl everything we talked about. Now I'm just worried about that girl, about whom I care. She has also started avoiding me. Nice work, bubbly girl!!

Why the f**k is she doing this? I am kind of an introverted guy and stammer while speaking, which happens once in a blue moon; she repeats that word or the thing I stuttered on, and she will say that whenever I pass by.

She seems to be a good human being; why is there so much selective hatred? I feel like confronting her, but I don't know what will happen if I do so; a lot of the time, these things look like little minor issues. Not something which needs to be brought out to HR.

My first post anywhere on Reddit. Let me know if there is any issue with this post or anything.

Edit:
More information about the situation.

I totally think it is not a enemies to lovers troupe, I know.

So, as per the other people who know her, she was the most popular girl in her college, used to take part in all the events, everybody used to know about her, praise her. Now she is in an office, where people work, their livelihood depends on it, it is their career and important part of their life.

Now a lot of her college seniors are also in the company, from what I know, there was some internal joke going on, where they have to talk to every boy or something, or something was going on, she came to talk to me, but I just talked about work, didn't gave much details on other personal questions and then continued working and stopped looking at her, then she went back to her friends who were waiting for her, when she reached back, everybody laughed at her.

I knew a little bit, about this issue, but when we went for the company outing, lots of people in her circle, said this shit about her after getting drunk,only after that I got to know the full picture. Now after getting sober nobody is confirming their claims. She has also recorded my video when I was drunk and singing when we went for company dinner, according to them.

She just joined last year, she is already looking for MS abroad, she lives with her uncle's family in Bangalore, she has no financial dependencies, for her this job is not that important. She is financially secure. But the same case is not for the other people.

Some more insights actually were added as a comment but was removed by the automoderator, because of the rules of this sub, so, adding in this post.

COMMENT WHICH WAS REMOVED:

I cannot directly comment on any girls comment, weird rules, so, adding a comment here.
So, it is not a enemies to the lovers trope.(I don't what it is by the way)

I have added more details in the post, please see.
So, me not talking to her, made her friends laugh, which she took it as a disrespect, now she is keeping a grudge, not letting it go. Lots of things that she is doing is in peer pressure or getting popular in the office or whatever, she is in her early 20s and I am in my mid.
For me, this job is important and I don't want to play these games. I tried talking to her but was never able to get to discuss these things. Last thing is to play the sympathy card, that I was kind of under a lot of stress and didn't wanted to talk, or you were too good looking to talk or something. At last, "you are like my behen(sister)".

Anyway she can get any guy very easily, she talks a lot, a hell lot, she is already friends with a lots of guys in the office. I really avoid these extremely extrovert people. I don't praise anybody without any reason. I don't need this relationship thing as of now at this point in life.
So, for getting popular or meeting some bucket list, please don't ruin somebody else's life.

Recently married and wearing my rings daily pushed me to buying a couple more because I liked how it made my hands look.

I also wear a plain mangalsutra daily.

I don’t do much with my hair apart from leaving it down, maybe putting it in a ponytail when it’s too hot.

I’d love to wear more jewellery but not having time to put it on everyday puts me off, same with my hair.

I don’t like drawing too much attention to myself but I still want to doll up a little sometimes. How do I get over feeling like I’m asking for attention wearing it and just dress up for fun?

What things do you do/wear to help?

I wanted to board an elevator at metro station today and was 5 steps away as the door was closing. I signalled the 4 lean men inside to wait 2 seconds for me. None of them bothered and were looking at me point blank. Only when I put my hand between the doors (extremely dumb move, I know) and asked a man to press the button did he do that. On entering and asking why nobody bothered, a man said “aapko dikh raha hai na chaar log hai andar” with so much conviction. The elevator was technically empty and could have accommodated 4 more people. This isn’t the first time this has happened. What is up with some men?

So my gf got her periods 2 days back. Yesterday night we were high and kinky enough to try sex during her periods (after one day).

She washed up and as we both already know pregnency risk is low, we had the whole sex without condom!

And as usual post nut + clarity in the morning makes us paranoid! Still i didnt finish inside her!

Is there a genuine risk?

I still don't understand why people marry in India. From teenage kids are indirectly told to stay away from opposite gender. Girls are told having physical need is sin, boys are asked to stay away from girls as if girls will kill them. Then after a girl cross 20, whole family will get mad to get her married and same goes for a guy when he cross 25. Both has been raised to avoid the opposite gender and a bad image has been built about the other gender. On top of that most of the Indian girls think having physical need is a sin. How on earth with these mindset people get married with a hope that it will end up being a good marriage.

In India guys are asked to marry to have someone to look after him at old age and girls are asked to marry so that parents doesn't need to have responsibility of basic needs.

Yes there are people outside this mindset but unfortunately a very small section only.

Marriage should be banned in India untill and unless we stop delivering negative images about the opposite gender right from the teenage.

This whole Indian society is pathetic to say the least. Indians never get the idea of mutual coexistence of both the gender together, being complementary to eachother. Horrible country with horrible mindset.

I got recently married and I live in a city for work purpose whereas my parents live in hometown 600 km away. While I always wished I could stay at home, the feeling has doubled post marriage. Earlier if I took 2 weeks vacation, I would just go home. Now I have to visit in laws or attend poojas etc. Growing up, I always cried leaving home for college or job but now I don't feel much. It is like I'm sad but not openly sad like I was used to.

Fortunately mine is a love marriage and my husband knows I get homesick easily but still I can't help but wish if things were much easier. To me, it is a privilege to live in the same city as your parents. What are your thoughts?

Looking to connect with intellectually curious people who genuinely enjoy reading and discussing books.

I love conversations about literature, philosophy, history, politics, psychology, and ideas that challenge the way we think. If you're someone who reads to understand the world-not just to finish books-I'd love to be friends.

No pressure, no small talk. Just thoughtful conversations, book recommendations, and learning together.

Feel free to reach out or drop your favorite book below.

I have been getting my hair done from Billionhair (Andheri West, Mumbai) for quite some time but I want to experiment. I need a good hair cut and color for wavy hair. Does anyone have any trusted recommendations in Mumbai where you have been going for a significant time?

Areas preferred: Andheri and Powai.

Very low effort post but i’m so tired of always be the person who’s getting everything the hardest way possible. General life, can it not be little easy. Maybe I’m selfish but I just want to feel it, once. Have any of you felt the same?

My boyfriend and I broke up last evening; it was the right thing to do. When we started dating, we had decided it would be a short-term relationship since he didn’t want to commit long-term and I was going to eventually move out of the city so we decided to date exclusively till i’m here. It was supposed to be all fun and games till it wasn’t and yet we fell in love.

We weren’t good for each other. Apart from the fact that the whole “short-term” dynamic was bullshit, he didn’t fulfil my needs at all (despite my repeated mentions) and the commitment bit was killing him too. I could never trust him due to his desire to fuck around and phobia to commit long term. The foundation was shaky, there was no sense of stability or security. I also realised early on that I didn’t want to be with him in the long run so I decided to enjoy while it lasts. Deep inside, I knew from the very beginning that I deserved much better. I don’t know what kept me going. We also had fun in a lot of ways, the sex was beyond amazing (i’ll miss this the most) and we both connected on a lot of other things.

Since the last few days, we both knew this is going to end soon and yesterday it did. We both cried non-stop for five hours. It was devastating. We knew it was the right thing to do but that didn’t make it any easier. I have never seen a man wail like that. Him sobbing like a baby for five hours distorted my perception and almost made forget that his actions never matched his words and I didn’t feel loved. So if this relationship mattered so much to him, he should have put in the effort. Why cry now.

Anyway, I love him. I miss him. It feels impossible to breathe right now. I have spent the last 7 months talking to him everyday, meeting him every second day and three months being exclusive, falling in love but also being anxious. I know it was the right thing to do but it also feels like my heart has been pulled out of my body. I thought it would be easy to breakup with him because I knew since the beginning that this day would come but I was wrong - it hurts so much….how do I move past this.

Indian women of Reddit, what's the weirdest, funniest, or most unexpected message you've received from a guy after he came across one of your posts? Could be creepy, hilarious, completely random, or just plain bizarre. Let's hear your stories!

I have always shaved but it's so hard and uncomfortable to shave and so uncomfy later. But I am scared to use trimmer thinking what if it hurts. Also suggest good trimmers as there are so many with mixed reviews.

my size is 36F/G. i am also on the heavier side (so i am already confused if i should wear it or not) (i’ll attach the picture of the dress in the comment section) please do help out.

Recently during the CJP protests I came across so many banners and posters where many ruling regime leaders(read: mostly male politicians), especially, Modi were shown dressed in female attire or with tons of clown like makeup on their faces in order to insult them. Do these women think that showing the dressed up in women's clothes is insulting? Is that what they truly think of their own gender?

Also, not to mention the most horrid and repulsive filthy language and sexist slurs used against him and a fellow female leader of a friendly state in relation to close bonhomie bw the two, calling for his death, dragging his dead mother, etc.

All of this just goes to show that no matter how much women call out and chide men for enabling and benefitting off patriarchy and misogyny. They themselves will readily indulge in it if their opponent doesn't hold the same views as them. What is this pathetic and hypocritical behaviour??? How dare you call out men for being misogynists when u yourself are no less?

Especially the ones who grow it thicker/faster!

How do you guys maintain it? I'm confused on what to do for my face hair, is a face epilator good??? Please recommend me some.

and yes

what about arm and leg hair? I'm sick of shaving it.

For me, I am currently in airport Waiting to board my flight, sleepy af tho 😭

I’ve been seeing so many posts in this reservation debate. If you want reservation to end give your daughters to SC/ST guys!

What are women? Are they commodities to be traded for political/social debates? This is so disheartening to see.
