normalization of slurs...

normalization of slurs...

why are girls so comfortable calling each other b*tch? it is seriously a derogatory slur used for women. somehow it is so normalised among women themselves, you can't even question men on it. Indian men are whole different breed when it comes to using slurs.😭🙏

men call their girlfriends b*tch and it suprises me that women have no problem being referred as a dog by man who is supposed to like them

i just find the word very insulting tbh. even if the word is used jokingly/ unseriously , it is still a sexist slur. but i dont expect much from society like ours where men use _n and r slur_ so often like it's daily routine and think it's funny, when they're just racist. men often defend using slurs as 'humor that women dont understand' like they aren't racist, misogynist, ableist.

few days ago, i saw a post on Twitter where a girl posted a screenshot of her and bfs chat where she shared a photo of herself with her bf. and her bfs first reaction was the word "bhench0d".other men in the comments were defending the bf, that his reaction was 'normal' and that women were '_overreacting_' for calling him red flag.

it baffles me how the first word in your head after seeing your gf is 'bhenchod' and somehow men think that's okay. 🤡 the gf herself wasn't questioning her bf because men in the comments told her how it's 'normal' like be so fr, _some_ girls have zero standards and have the bar set really low . its so embarrasing sometimes that women settle for such men.😿

How do u stop grieving the maternal care and affection you never received?

It's Mother's Day today. I didn't wish my mother. I don't intend to wish her and probably never will as I don't see her as a good mother.

TW : slight vent ahead

I hate my mother, and it's not because I'm immature to see her efforts or concerns. She's just a bad mother. She's abusive, both physically and verbally.she also acts controlling and blames me for everything.

She abuses me if I don't follow her orders like a dog and humiliates me when I call her out. She never let me have any ounce of autonomy as a person, has never once treated me with warmth and care, and never has apologised for her behavior instead acts like I'm at fault.

my father isn't any different. He is also just like her. I also feel this bitter ugly feeling of envy when i interact with my friend's mother and constantly wish that only if my mother had been like that. I'm extremely envious of people with good mothers / parents.

I am not an adult, but once I turn one, I don't intend to live with my parents. I will leave them as soon as I am financially independent.

Yet, some traitorous and childish part of me wishes to be treated normally, with basic decency and affection by her. I know that won't ever happen, she's far too selfish to care about how I feel, but sometimes I just can't help but feel miserable that I'll never have a healthy relationship with her.I'll never be able to forgive her or forget what she did.

I already feel so pathetic, I wonder if i will ever grow out of this once I'm a fully functioning adult or if I will become more miserable than I already am. I have no idea how to cope. Maybe I would take therapy someday, but I don't really believe it'll work out for me. Anyway, I'll have to gather myself out of it as it's no good paining myself over such a woman.

Thanks for reading. Happy Mothers Day to all wonderful mothers out there 🤍💫
