I've seen many feminists defend these dresses by saying that wearing them is a woman's personal choice. But I sometimes wonder how much of that choice is independent when someone has been taught from childhood that wearing them is good, respectable or necessary.

If you grow up seeing your mother, relatives and everyone around you wearing them, and you're taught from a young age that you should dress the same way, isn't that also a form of conditioning? I'm not saying every woman who wears a burkha is forced to wear it. Some genuinely like it. I'm just questioning how freely the choice is made.

I've seen this personally in college. Some women I met wore burkhas and told me their families had already started looking for rishtas and expected them to marry after college. Some even said they were allowed to attend college because they could wear religious clothing. At the same time, a few genuinely said they liked wearing it.

Later, in another college with a very different environment, I hardly saw anyone wearing a burkha. Most women had much more freedom in how they dressed, and I never really saw them expressing a particular liking for it. I mostly saw headscarves during religious or family occasions.

I've noticed something similar with ghunghat. It's quite rare in cities now, and I've mostly seen older women from certain communities wearing it.

So is it really okay to defend these dresses by saying, "It's a personal choice"? I genuinely don't understand how someone can live with these restrictions, go to college like that, and actually like it. Doesn't defending it as a "personal choice" sometimes go against the whole idea of feminism? If someone has been conditioned from childhood to see it as normal, how freely are they really choosing it?

I did a USG test of Penis and Scrotum everything is normal, but the doctor is close relative so I couldn't say that pain comes after masturbation and during erection also I wasted all my money in these tests now don't have much to see other doctors can anyone tell me what can I do to cure this

I'm scoring around 45 in IBPS PO Pre mocks. I haven't started anything for mains yet, and a few arithmetic chapters are still unfinished. With the mains pattern change, I don't think I'll be able to clear it this year.

My only hope is the Clerk exams, but I'm not very confident about them either because the cutoffs are really high. My mom is also telling me to take up a private job. Honestly, I've been sitting at home since March and I feel like I haven't done much, so I don't really feel confident about clearing in this cycle.

So should I start looking for a job after IBPS PO Pre, or should I wait until the Clerk exams are over?

I've been preparing for banking exams since March. Before that, I used to freelance and intern as a designer. But I want to have a backup if banking doesn't work out.

I've built decent skills and connections in design, but getting a good full-time job is really hard. Most are underpaid, and with all the AI noise, I'm not sure about the future of design either.

My mother is telling me to learn Tally and Excel, but I'm not sure if it's worth my time. Or should I look for a sales job if banking doesn't work out?

What skills would be good to learn as a backup? Is Tally worth learning? And how is the design market currently?

My penis is naturally curved to the left, and for the past 2 months I've had pain on the left side where it starts to bend. The pain gets worse after masturbation, during an erection, or sometimes even while peeing.

I'm 22. These days I masturbate once every 3–4 days. Earlier, I used to do it whenever I felt like it, sometimes daily for 3–4 days, then I'd stop for 4–5 days.

Because of financial issues, I can't see a doctor right now. Is there anything I can do at home to reduce the pain? Any exercises or home remedies that might help?

If I do go to a doctor later, which specialist should I see?

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is this something serious?
