Where can we practice classical music in north campus (in isolation)

Me and my friend (both freshers) want to practice music in north campus in isolation. The reason is that everywhere, people come as an audience, which is completely fine with jamming, but becomes and issue to focus on our work during practice. Is there any place in campus except the hostels where we can practice in isolation?

There IS A PROBLEM with self-sexualising content too (on Meta platforms especially)

(Summary by AI)

This video discusses serious allegations against Meta regarding the nature of advertisements being served on Instagram in India. The narrator highlights concerns about the platform's algorithm and the presence of harmful content.

Core Allegations

Algorithmic Exposure: The video argues that Meta’s algorithm, designed to provide users with content they might like, pushes users toward increasingly inappropriate material. The narrator notes that interactions with specific creators can quickly lead to the recommendation of semi-nude and, eventually, hardcore pornographic content.

The "Dark Web" Connection: The advertisements in question reportedly redirect users to Telegram channels. The narrator describes these channels as unregulated spaces—the "Dark Web"—where human trafficking, pedophilic content, and abusive material are allegedly circulating.

Safety Concerns: A specific, distressing instance is mentioned involving an ad featuring a seven-year-old girl. The video criticizes Meta for hosting such content and allowing it to be advertised, suggesting the company prioritizes profit and user engagement over the safety of its platform, including the safety of minors.

Government Intervention

Official Response: Following the release of a BBC documentary that exposed these issues, the Government of India has intervened.

Directive: The government has issued a notice to Meta demanding an immediate halt to these advertisements.

Accountability: Meta has been given a one-week deadline to submit a report outlining how they intend to address these violations and ensure such content is permanently removed from their platform.

Key Takeaway

The narrator emphasizes that despite strict regulations, the platform continues to harbor content that facilitates the exploitation of women and children, arguing that Meta must be held accountable for the safety and integrity of the content hosted within its ecosystem.

Is there a specific aspect of this situation—such as the policy implications or the role of algorithms—that you would like to explore further?

Isn't "girl math", "my brain shuts down around him" and "he makes me feel more feminine" soft misogyny?

By equating femininity with a sudden inability to do math or think critically, these tropes dangerously associate womanhood with anti-intellectualism.

​They repackage the idea that to be authentically feminine, a woman must be inherently helpless, confused, and intellectually inferior to her partner.

​This rhetoric forces a return to rigid, traditional gender roles, suggesting a woman must shrink her capabilities so a man can feel secure in his own.

​It inherently frames being feminine as being weak, erasing the resilience, intelligence, and complexity that actually define women.

​As a man, watching these stereotypes resurface feels regressive, as it places immense pressure on us to always play the infallible, hyper-rational anchor.

​It damages men by reinforcing the expectation that we must remain devoid of emotional vulnerability to perfectly contrast this artificially performed helplessness.

​We lose the beauty of an equal partnership when societal trends encourage one half of the relationship to diminish their intellect to feed male ego.

​True femininity and masculinity should both embrace intelligence and strength, without relying on reductive caricatures to validate each other's identities.

​To the women reading this, how do you feel about this narrative, and does it feel as reductive to you as it does to me?

What are these people even trying to promote here

(I have written my opinion at the end)

Summary of the transcript (generated by AI). ​A Shift in Perspective: The speaker suggests that feminism, as a concept, may be reaching an end, citing a significant trend among women in the United States who feel they were misled [00:00], [00:06].

​Rejection of Modern Expectations: Many women argue they were sold a "lie" that working 18-hour days, avoiding marriage, and not having children would lead to freedom and happiness [00:12], [00:18].

​The "Traditional Wife" Trend: A notable percentage of women—specifically mentioned as 37% among certain groups—are now rejecting modern feminist ideals in favor of becoming "traditional wives" [00:23].

​Survey Data: The speaker references a survey by King's College London, which indicates that 25% of respondents are comfortable with the idea of being traditional wives, representing millions of women who feel they were misled about feminism [00:30], [00:37].

My opinion: Ig this video is a staggering and insulting misrepresentation of what the feminist movement actually stands for. Feminism was never about forcing women into 18-hour corporate grinds; it is about guaranteeing their fundamental right to choose, infact, I think feminism even helps men to choose betweenthe two. It is incredibly frustrating to watch a man weaponize capitalist burnout to push a regressive, patriarchal agenda.

If women are exhausted, we must blame a broken, exploitative economic system, not the very movement advocating for their liberation. A woman choosing to be a stay-at-home mother is entirely valid, but twisting her agency to declare the "end of feminism" is intellectually dishonest.

Advice needed: We are planning to build some free frontends/landing pages for our portfolio

We are working to build a tech agency (something bigger in the SAAS field in the long term tho). But we don't have a portfolio yet. After seeking advice from some people who own branding agencies/SMMAs etc, we have planned to build entirely for free for our initial projects just to gain experience.

​We are trying to find people in the tech space who need help with their frontends or landing pages, and we want to do the work for free to get established.

​Let me know if you have any suggestions on the best platforms, communities, or strategies to find these early opportunities.

Does women's choice of beauty come from internalised male gaze?

I personally disagree on this one as I have seen my female friends enjoy beauty with FREEDOM.

But I'd love to know opinions of y'all on this one

Is pr*stitution r*pe?

My personal opinion is that i am not able to form a concrete opinion on it. In cases where it is brought about by trafficking, it must be considered r*pe, but what if it's the woman doing it herself? But if it's not criminalised completely, the trafficking market will just go on expanding (for instance see Swati Maliwal's speech on GB Road in parliament)

Story of Dr Bibha Chaudhari

  1. Dr. Bibha Chowdhuri (1913–1991) was a pioneering Indian physicist who broke major gender barriers to unlock the mysteries of cosmic rays.
  2. In 1936, she stood out as the only female student in her entire batch to graduate with an M.Sc. in Physics from Calcutta University.
  3. Her research career faced early struggles when physicist D.M. Bose hesitated to accept her, questioning if laboratory work was suitable for women.
  4. Undeterred, she fiercely persuaded him and soon found herself trekking up the high-altitude Himalayas to expose photographic plates to cosmic rays.
  5. Her painstaking analysis of those data tracks successfully identified a brand-new subatomic particle, known today as the pi-meson (pion).
  6. Unfortunately, World War II resource shortages cut her work short, leaving her without the sensitive emulsion plates needed to fully verify her discovery.
  7. British physicist Cecil Powell later utilized her exact methodology with better funding and materials, winning the 1950 Nobel Prize for the very same discovery.
  8. Refusing to step down, she traveled to the UK to earn her Ph.D. under Nobel laureate Patrick Blackett, mastering the science of extensive cosmic air showers.
  9. Upon returning to India, she became the first female faculty member at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and pioneered particle detectors deep inside the Kolar Gold Fields.
  10. Though she was widely overlooked by Indian science academies during her lifetime, her legacy was finally immortalized in 2019 when the International Astronomical Union named a star "Bibha" in her honor.

Hey everyone, so I have been seeing this "princess treatment" trend all over social media lately, and I am genuinely curious about how you all feel about it. As a guy who tries to stay informed, I find myself a bit stuck on whether this is actually pro-feminism or if it is secretly kind of anti-feminist.

I mean, on one hand, it seems like it is about a woman knowing her worth and being treated with high respect, which sounds great; but on the other hand, it feels a bit like we are heading back to 1950s gender roles. For example:

  • When it comes to the first date, or just dating in general, who is supposed to pay? If the goal is equality, should we not be splitting things or taking turns? But then I see people saying "princess treatment" means the man pays for everything, always.
  • Then there is the whole chivalry thing, like opening car doors, pulling out chairs, or carrying every single bag. Do women actually find that empowering and sweet, or does it feel patronizing, like you cannot do it yourself?
  • Also, I am wondering if any of this is supposed to go both ways. Like, is there such a thing as "prince treatment" where the guy gets pampered too, or is the whole point of this dynamic that it is one-sided?

I am really just trying to understand the vibe here because it feels like there are a lot of mixed signals. Is being a "princess" actually a feminist power move, or does it just reinforce the idea that women need to be taken care of by men? I would love to hear your honest thoughts on this because I am definitely a bit confused.
