Namasakara Bengaluru,

Stupid question here— I travel from Vajrahalli to Kundalahalli for office. When I travel from Vajrahalli to Kundalahalli, the metro travel costs ₹81, but on my return trip, it costs ₹85.5.

Is there a reason for this increase in fare? Does it happen in the evenings due to the rush?

Kya matlab I cannot talk to half the people in the community just because they're men?! 🥀

I mean, look at all those cuties. They look so fun to hang out with.

*mummy taking out her chappal, belan, tawa, hanger, and papa ki belt*

Mummy yaar!! 😭😭🥀

[ Kya matlab I'm crying because I cannot be friends with that cute guy in my city because mein ladies hoon. 🥀 ]

This is how I used to communicate before realising I'm bi/lesbian (the answer is obvious, but I live in Egypt beside a river called denial, iykyk) and gender fluid:

No endearments.

Everything professional.

Me now:

Baby girl

Princess

Darling

Gurl

Babe

Queen.

What is this??!? *confused noises*

I feel like I unlocked an entirely new personality.

What happened to me?! 😭😭😭🥀

*louder confused noises with hysterical crying*

Helppp!

Ladies, mascs, and especially that one bro with jaw-dropping, mouth-watering, heart-attack inducing gains (did I hallucinate her? Where is her picture? 😭)— I need some exercise tips!

Please 🥺🥺

I need to begin my fat to fit masc journey.

Pretty please, baby girl?! 🥺🥺

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I found out that a girl I know, 16F, is in a relationship with a man in his late-twenties or thirties (28-30 years old).

To make matters worse she is siphoning money off of her grandparents accounts. The grandfather saved up all the money and pension for himself and his wife for emergencies but she has been spending it all on luxurious items that are completely unnecessary.

Her parents are yet to talk to her, but her relatives are rather disturbed and worried for her safety.

She is even ready to run away with that man, and they're worried she might do something the day she turns 18.

Her maternal cousin has told her (the girl's) paternal uncle that she (the girl) has even promised to convert to his religion to marry him, which is scaring everyone more following the recent conversion cases.

Is there any way to help her out of this?

I will be attaching the source below. Feel free to go through it.

Recently, a news report about children— toddlers— being physically abused by five daycare workers has come to light. The daycare facilitates inside an IT company, taking care of the children of the working parents.

The daycare was immediately closed after the issue came to light and the company agreed to comply with the investigation. The five accused have been sent notices for probes.

Here is where it gets disgusting. I went through the comments of the news article by TOI.

There are a handful of people who are actually talking about the issue. The rest?

Hindu vs Muslims, North vs South, Nuclear family vs Joint family, BJP vs Congress, and our personal favourite— misogyny.

Some examples:

>You greedy women are so cunning today that your lust for money is the root cause of such cases. There's a reason why nature has given uterus to female bodies & not the males. If you really want a child, then be prepared to look after it instead of dumping your responsibilities on daycares! Your insatiable greed for money is the reason why you never sacrifice a few years of your career. Our ancestors did the right thing by keeping you women in the homes to look after everyone. Males also to be equally blamed for pressuring women to go out for jobs. Too much freedom is now literally destroying indian family structure, middle class roots & overall society.

Really? Our job is just birth babies and care for them? We are greedy for money?! Our ancestors were right?!

>Many things can be learnt from muslims: >1. They never put parents in shelters >2. They NVR put children in shelters >3. NVR be greedy to earn more by jobs n so called by providing fancy education to children >4. Certainly they feed all family members not matter how many children they being blessed with. >5. They forbid birth control unlike Hindus ... the adverse effect has started.. no bro, no sister, mamu less, mausi less, fopa less , society is awaiting ahead.

>Moral of story : back to traditional path & enjoy a beautiful samaj

>Aaj a din kiun dekhne pada because, in a nuclear family the children are deprived of other family members who happen to take care them.

Basically they are saying to breed like rats and overpopulate, so that you have a big family to care for your children. Unlike Hindus and Christians who use birth control, because of which they have less relatives and siblings.

Most of those people survive on government subsidies!!

>By grace of Allah I have 8 bacchey n I never put them once in day care. If hindu n christian aurats can't take of even 1 or 2 bacchey dikkar hai unki aurat ta per. Only earn money

Tf?! 8 kids? I pray for this moron's wife.

>Daycare itself is evil outcome of working parents. Even Nannies working their are so called working parents. Don't expect world to provide mothers love in return of petty amount. Mother's care, support, bonding can't be price tagged.

>Ignoring The Joint Family Lifestyle But After The Marriage Girls Are Against In Laws With Them & Interested Either Separate Life Or Keeps The In Laws With Senior Home, Leaving The Kids As Careless Orphans With Daycare Homes Without Cares Or Affection

>Blame the parents, why need children when you can't take care of yourself?

Why are the parents being blamed for simply having a career?

>This matter aside, this is the result of our broken family system. In most cases, children can not take the hassle of keeping their parents with them but are willing to risk their children to complete stranger about whose background and morals/ethics they have no idea about. Shame that these things happen.

>Now, no amount of ‘punishment’ is going to matter.

>People do not deserve to have children who do not care for children and elderly parents.

>Earn less and let 1 member earn and feed the family. This is also the result of splitting into nuclear families. Nothing is bigger then caring for children.

>Children toddlers are not cattle to be looked after by someone else.

>Truly feel for the children, imagine they will grow with so much hate towards everyone.

>IT people can survive on their salaries.

As an IT person with Ai hanging over our necks, no we cannot!

>Main Calprit is parents, for money not they forgot perents responsibility for them money can hire childhood life is for money and enjoyment don't know real meaning of human life only job and carrier. No role of father, mother, sister, uncle, aunty, even human being..

I'm not even translating this.

>It is quite natural... Love and affection is only towards your own kid. Leaving your kid to someone's mercy is a sin in itself. On one hand we choose and justify women empowerment on the other hand we are killing the family system all together. When will ladies realise, that a home maker is a much dignified job than a corporate.

Abey yaar!!

>sometimes you need to earn less money and take care of your own kid - this happens when family is mad about money.. both work and leave kids to suffer

Mad about money? Does this moron even know the inflation rate? Families cannot survive on single incomes!

The entire comment section could be simplified as follows:

1. Women are selfish and greedy for money. They are breaking families for their so-called careers. Poor Indian culture. (Baap kya showpiece ke liye hai? ATM hai?!)

2. Families can survive on single incomes. Women can stay at home and care for the kids. (Mehengai dekhi hai?!)

Parents are greedy and want a luxurious lifestyle. (And? What is wrong with wanting one and giving your child a similar one?)

3. You are ungrateful to your parents, can't care for them, want to live separately, and give your children to strangers because you are greedy. (Not all parents are saints. Also, some are very old and need care themselves. How will they care for their grandchildren?!)

4. Birth control is the issue. Look at Hindus and Christians. Two children, very less relatives and siblings, no big families. Good thing Muslims don't believe in all that and have a big family. Have 8-10 kids.

5. BJP bad. Hindi speaking people bad. Cow belt people bad. North Indian bad. (Useless wars!)

I'm so done with the people of this country. They cannot even let an issue exist independently without dragging unnecessary comparisons. 🥀

I agree that what the accused— five women— did was horrible, but is it necessary to drag other issues in this?

I always wanted to be the nice feminist, but now I'm becoming the angry feminist due to people's lack of common sense and empathy.

Title edit: working women*

Before I begin, I apologize for my cynical wording, but this is a thought that has been bothering me for a while now. Kindly treat this more like a question and less of a rant— I am rather confused and need your perspective.

For a while now, my feed has been filled with WLW content. Maybe it's my algorithm. Maybe it's women finally deciding to embrace their sexuality and admit that they're a part of the community.

Or maybe, it's just straight girls trying to play cool.

To be honest, I do not know. Especially if it is the last one, that is rather problematic.

Loving a woman is not as romantic and dreamy as we believe, it is not simple. Just like other relationships, it requires patience and loyalty, and a connection.

The whole idea of reducing us and our relationships to aesthetic moments and couple poses, dreamy festival photos is rather— for the lack of a better word— demeaning.

This trendiness of the WLW feels similar to straight girls wanting stereotypical gay best friends. Which is not wrong, but it feels a little weird.

Or maybe I am looking too much into it. Maybe it's me, I am the problem.

So, is being sapphic now a cool trend all girls are hopping on to?

Hey everyone, new writer here!

Not technically new, since I started in 2022, but my reader count hasn't gone above 2. 🥀

I have posted about my story on the message board of various writers, especially those in the fandoms. But, nothing worked.

Can you all share tips to increase my reach? I haven't updated in months because I've been feeling really demotivated. 😭

Context: I am talking about the web series "Human" on Jio Hotstar starring Shefali Shah (as Dr. Gauri Nath) and Kirti Kulhari (as Dr. Saira Sabhrawal).

​

So, Saira's husband Neil dies. And after certain incidents (can't reveal, cause spoilers), she and her parents end up together in her house.

​

Saira publicly admitted to being in a relationship with Gauri on TV, which even her parents saw.

​

Coming home, she tries to get them to talk about it, but they start talking about her late husband and his cousin brother, who they had initially planned to engage her with.

​

Saira gets pissed off, rightly so. She starts telling them about the time she first started liking girls.

​

And her parents just ignore her 😭😭

​

Just turn up the TV volume and pretend she isn't in the room.

​

Now, this isn't something that was given to them suddenly.

​

Saira's mom caught her in the act with another girl when she was a teen. They just chose to ignore that stuff and made her marry a man, and pushed her to have children. 😭😭

​

The acceptance part was even weird. Saira just wakes up one morning and her mom starts making everything she loves— and they hold hands, showing they accept her.

​

Like, that's so fast! 😭😭 What in the acceptance is this?! I mean, I am glad they accepted her. But the whole lesbian angle was so weird. 😭😭

Hi everyone, unknown author here. I started writing in 2022, completed my book and began part 2, but unpublished everything because the plot was crappy.

​

My first book is Stars Crossed. It is a fanfiction of the show immj2, starring an OC in an AU. I might be following the show plot at times and then just use my own story lines. I deleted and re-wrote it multiple times. I have published three chapters by now.

​

My second book is Commiseration. It is a fanfiction based on season one of Ghum Hai Kisi Ke Pyaar Mein. Just the cast and location, I am spinning the story on my own. It deals with an adopted girl, Aarohi, walking into the life of the Chavans.

​

Since I love tragedy, I will put in some illogical stuff. Kindly forgive me for that and ruining your brains.

​

My updates are really slow because of the lack of readers. I used to have two, now it's one. (The other one is the author I posted about yesterday).

​

I try to write 2-3k words per chapter. I DO NOT use Ai at all.

​

I hope, if fanfiction interests you, you can give my story a chance.

​

My ID is LazyRxader.

​

Thank you!

I am so pissed at myself.

​

I was thinking about the traits I wanted in my girlfriend— traditional clothes, long hair, more feminine compared to me— and then froze!

​

What is wrong with me? How did I end up becoming the very thing I was fighting against?

​

I thought I had erased traces of patriarchy from myself, and here I am, catching myself being a misogynist.

​

I am feeling so ashamed of myself.

I understand that they are two hot women who look really good together.

​

But why is everyone so obsessed with pairing them together? Representation— by forcing someone? That's really low.

​

And it's more of the straight people who are pushing them to date.

​

Kyun karein date? Zabardasti hai kya?!

​

Even if they are closeted, what is it for us? If they want to come out, they will. If they feel safe not doing so, their choice.

​

Everyone is so obsessed with labelling them as lesbians, like why?! 😭😭

What sort of a fetishization is this?

​

Let them be, na. Let them make that decision. Whether they are close friends or lovers, that is for them to decide. Why is everyone else so involved in it?

​

If she says she is not gay, then believe her. Why do some people do so much work in disproving it?

​

This is very ironic, given that if they did come out, or if anyone else came out as gay or trans, they get trolled terribly.

​

People are very weird! 🥀

I didn't even know which flair to use. Sorry! 🥀

​

So, like AIW has Monday's for rants, and Wednesday for Relationship talks.

​

LGBTQIndia has Sunday for pictures only.

​

So I was thinking, should we also have a day like this on our sub?

​

Maybe we can discuss about different feminist literature and movies, feminists, or such. Or maybe, talk about financial literacy or something else.

​

While thinking about this, my mind came up with Mis— Monday. It can be about either Misogyny or Misandry. The small things related to them, that we miss or state as harmless.

​

Or something like that, whatever you think and if the mods are okay with it.

​

Kindly share your opinion.

Appreciation post. ✨

This sub is my favourite feminist sub. No matter how many times I delete my account and create a new one, this will always be the first sub I look for.

I love the mods ❤

Thank you for making this sub a safe space, for protecting it from the bad elements and people who just come to push a negative narrative.

I love the participants ❤

Some of them are idiots, including me 😂, but every conversation helps me to either learn more or to challenge my beliefs. Some even hold up a mirror to the flaws in my arguments, which I appreciate.

Thank you to everyone in this subreddit. I hope it will grow more and never change.

P.S. No, I am not buttering the mods to pass the FEE. 😂

This is for those whose second language is/was Hindi. Did you also get to read this "cool" literature in 9th and 10th?

That story makes my blood boil so bad! 😭😭

The author literally wrote an entire chapter to describe ML's and FL's bffs (yes, their friends married each other) marriage, but finished their marriage in a couple of paragraphs.

Upar se child labour daala hai?! 😭😭

And what sort of lawyer doesn't stand up for herself against aunties who are judging her character? 😭😭

P.S. yes, I'm from the dinosaur age of our clan.
