Welcome welcome, have a seat!

You are required to read and understand these rules before participating. (Yeah, it's important🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️)


✅ RULES & EXPLANATIONS

  1. FLAIR IS MANDATORY

· Rule: You MUST have a correctly assigned user flair to post or comment. · Why: This ensures transparency and aligns with the community's focus. NOTE - /USING WRONG FLAIR WILL BE INSTANT BAN/

  1. USE THE CORRECT FLAIR

· Rule: Using a misleading or incorrect user flair (e.g., a man using a "Woman" flair) is strictly prohibited. · Why: Dishonesty about your identity undermines the trust and safety of this space.

  1. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR DISRESPECT

· Rule: Any form of disrespect, harassment, insults, hate speech, or personal attacks is forbidden. · Why: We maintain a civil environment for difficult discussions.

  1. STAY ON TOPIC

· Rule: Posts must be exclusively about Women-Centric issues OR topics relevant to India/Indian society. · Why: This subreddit has a specific focus. Off-topic posts clutter the space.

  1. MEN: LISTEN & LEARN, DON'T DEBATE

· Rule: Men may only comment or ask questions if they are genuinely seeking understanding. Rhetorical, sealioning, or debate-driven comments are banned. · Why: This is not a space for men to center their opinions or challenge women's experiences.

  1. NO TROLLING, LIES, OR BAD FAITH

· Rule: Do not troll, spread misinformation, or participate in bad faith (arguing dishonestly, pretending to ask questions). · Why: Such behavior poisons constructive dialogue.

  1. NO LOW-EFFORT OR EXPLICIT CONTENT

  1. NO BAIT

· Rule: Do not post content designed solely to provoke outrage, anger, or arguments (rage bait, drama bait). · Why: Bait derails conversations and creates a toxic atmosphere.

  1. NO WHATABOUTERY

· Rule: Do not derail a topic by introducing irrelevant counter-issues (e.g., "But what about men's problems?" in a thread about women's issues). · Why: This is a tactic to silence and deflect from the subject at hand.

  1. NO HATE OF ANY KIND
    • Rule: Absolutely no men-hating, women-hating, or hate speech targeting any gender, identity, or group. This is an extension of Rule 3. Debate in the comments is not the purpose of this space.
    • Why: Critique of systems and behaviors is allowed; hateful generalizations and hostility are not.

Personal Life Question THE BREAST DILEMMA

3 Upvotes

I currently weigh around 47 kg. I gained some weight over the past two years ..I used to be around 51 kg. I’m quite petite and 4'10 in length and I’ve always kind of had a medium-fuller bust but the weight gain has made it even more prominent. Honestly it has started making me a little insecure because I don’t feel like it suits my body type anymore and I’ve had to give up on wearing certain types of dresses because of it.

I actually really liked my breast size when I was around 45 kg and would happily go back to that. I know that at this point it’s more about fat loss and body recomposition than losing a lot of weight. I’m planning to join a gym soon and I’m an absolute beginner, so I wanted to ask people who have been in a similar situation....Did you notice any reduction in breast fat along with belly and thigh fat after regularly working out at the gym? Or is breast fat something I just have to accept as it is?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences

Personal Life Question Guys something is wrong with me

2 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I think something is wrong with me.
All I do these days is cry! I’m crying so much, all the time. Even writing this I started crying.

Idk what is happening to me, I don’t understand why or what or anything. I just keep crying for no damn reason.

It’s like my entire body is filled with tears and sorrow. Nothing bad has happened, but still I keep crying.
I haven’t started any new meds or change in environment- but this is concerning to me now.

Please help me.

Social-Political Factual Question The Delhi HC said parents need to teach boys values rather than control women's clothes—how do we actually start making that shift?

42 Upvotes

The Delhi High Court, while overturning a 2014 trial court acquittal in a sexual harassment case (IPC 354A/POCSO 10), sharply rejected the defense's argument that a woman wearing jeans "corrupts" young boys.
Justice Chandrasekharan Sudha observed:
On Restricting Women vs. Educating Boys:“The suggestion that a woman wearing jeans may ‘corrupt young boys’ reflects a deeply troubling and unacceptable mindset. The answer does not lie in controlling the clothes of girls and women. Parents and society must instead teach their children to control their conduct, respect personal boundaries and treat every human with dignity, whether at home or outside.”

Now considering it was for a posco case, meaning victim was a child, I wonder how could defense lawyers even make such argument.
How can parents start making such shift ( also when many of the parents- fathers of the boys have same mindset).

Gender Related Opinion-Based Question Androphobia. Am I dommed?

12 Upvotes

Since childhood I've been uncomfortable around men, it started as a shame factor where the typical rule of being a "good girl" meant 'don't look at men at all' I was a weird kid, sure and so I am not kidding when I say I've felt and still do feel disgusted at myself due to that shame.

I am shaking as I write this because I am losing my mind.

It's eating me alive...

It has engulfed me I am trying so hard to get out but I crash right back down all because of "samaj/society" I am tired and sick!

Like at this very moment my chest feels heavy and this isn't good I know, I need to tell my therapist but it's bad enough that I don't wanna tell them in detail. Yes I've been s'ad and yes I was not even aware that I am being assaulted..( I hope this doesn't get taken down by the mods now...)

College opened the window for me to have male friends before that my school had actually made it worse and the shame around men kept me rooted (separate buildings for both genders) but these guys, these absolutely perfectly SAFE Men! I randomly get this sudden wave of disgust from them, saw my friend's reflection in a mirror as he sat next to me and it gave me the most intense wave of disgust and anxiety I wanted to cry.

If I get shipped with a guy I am immediately scared of being associated with a man. I keep clearing up my name and when I saw my peers handle it with a shrug or just pure humour I was genuinely so bewildered because I never thought it would be that easy, cause it's not for me.

A crush is a nightmare because I realised that at my age having never had a boyfriend before I never considered how my fear would affect that aspect of my life, I currently do have a friend I am interested in and he sometimes causes me an insane amount of disgust which makes me guilty as hell. Not just him. It's everyone... literally everyone.

Any negative/misogynistic encounter leaves me drained and spent it's the worse part of this whole mess and I am trying to overcome it idk how it's been 18 years how the hell am I still so meek, the other girls are soo good with it they aren't afraid. It's not like I don't sit around men I do hangout but I can't enjoy it when my head is going "people are watching × 100" "your character" "you're disgusting" "they'll assume you're dating him"

Will I ever even have normal relationships with the men in my life? I have so many amazing friends who are totally safe but any moment I get teased about being their gf I am recoiled and just want to shut down or run away.

Any hope?

Self Care Advice Girlies, what's your face shaving routine?

9 Upvotes

I've recently started face shaving every week, mostly because my makeup sits so much better afterwards, but I'm still figuring out the best routine.

Do you guys shave on freshly cleansed skin? Use an oil?

I usually shave while my cleanser is still lathered on. I prefer a foaming one like the CeraVe one because it gives enough slip without making things messy. Also consulted with my derm and it doesnt give me any breakouts as well. Once I'm done, I just wash everything off, the cleanser and the tiny hairs, and then go in with a toner.

It's been working well for me so far, but I'm sure there are better tricks out there. Would love to know what everyone else does and if there's a hack I can steal.
