I have a habit of turning everything into a gender discourse and while I am aware that I am not wrong, I do not want to think about men at all.

I was discussing mountain climbing with a friend, and suddenly I turned it into how the sport is essentially male-centric and how climbing while menstruating is not a feat for women but a reminder of the privileges men have. I mean, men have the option of not having to choose whether they would like to be on pills to stop menstruating and face the health repercussions later on, or change tampons at 7000 meters, surrounded by snow, without proper water or toilet facilities.

Another instance is how I am beginning to center the entire Lindsay Clancy trial on how the dads only acknowledge how wonderful of a mother their wives are, than share equal child rearing responsibilities. I acknowledge how dangerous postpartum stress is, but somehow my mind wants to hold the dad to be an equal stress enabler and perpetrator for not taking up 70 percent of the responsibilities while the mother was recovering and breastfeeding.

The third instance revolves around how I think it's so easy for men to work out at gyms compared to women. I mean, smh men form a community and there are so many times I am the only woman working out, and somehow even the youngest of kids and the oldest of men have unwarranted opinion on your form. Why can't they just stay in their lane?

I can list on hundreds of instances, but you get it.

The thing is, I feel like I think about men a lot, even if I am disliking them and I don't want to think about them. Perhaps, AT ALL.

How do I reach that point in my head where I am not thinking about them?

I met a man online whom I really liked. We went on a date, and while he was alright, I knew it wouldn't be right for me. I communicated it to him, but we kept on talking partly because I was still attracted to him.

After a month, a couple of weeks ago, our conversations reduced after an ideological difference and I thought it would help reduce the attraction I feel for him. I restricted him on IG so that I don't get notified when he texts. I deleted his chats and contact so that I don't contact him or have any way to contact him. I didn't block him because the block list would have his number. But I still crave his attention and I am so pissed at myself for that.

How do you strong women dissociate from situations which are not good for you?

P.S. I am 27 and he is 43, and I wish I was trolling, but seems like the only person I am trolling at the moment, is myself.

Hey y'all,

​

I am in desperate need of a handheld vacuum cleaner with good suction power, battery, and after sales service and I can't zero in on one which won't burn a hole in my pocket.

​

Please suggest which one you guys have been using. House helps are unreliable and never shows up on time. I tried using a duster but it gave me allergies :(

My mother was diagnosed with MOG-associated myelitis after two weeks' of hospitalization on 8th May. The insurance covered approx 87% of the total hospitalization expenses.

She had to re-admitted today for second dose of rituximab, which the doctor adviced to be administered over a two-day period of in patient treatment.

However, my cashless claim was rejected on the following ground:

Rejection reason:

As per submitted documents member got admitted for management of MOG associated myelitis . However, the

proposed line of treatment is clinically not indicated and Unproven. Hence, we regret to inform you that the

cashless facility has been denied

Clause:

Unproven/Experimental treatment means the treatment

including drug experimental therapy which is

not based on established medical practice in India, is

treatment experimental or unproven..

What are the chances of my reimbursement? And what steps should I undertake next?

Mother was hospitalized for urinary retention but it became a two week hospitalization after she started showing symptoms of transverse myelitis. Every time the insurer has asked for doctors note and case summary, they have sent the continuation notes.

I have mailed the insurance desk at the hospital. What following steps should I be taking? My mother will be discharged tomorrow.
