Basically the question. In my late thirties now. Want to focus on bone health without having to resort to supplemental tablets. I was thinking I could start having women's Horlicks. Have you ladies tried it? What's your opinion? Is there anything that is better out there?
So hear me out.
I want to see posts in our 2X community that celebrate the gentlemen among the usual sexists, the good, supportive MIL amongst the usual narcissistic ones, the inclusive people amongst the usual homophobic population.
Day in and day out, I read vent/rant posts on how bad the men are, the MILs are, the society is to us. And I get it. The majority *is* (or at least seems to be) bad. And this is after all a support group also. I am incredibly thankful, that someone had the foresight to create this subreddit for us to have a group who will hear us out and understand us and say a few words of encouragement so that we hang in there until the bad phase passes.
But my reality is that I do have a reasonable set of people around me who is mostly a good husband (😜😜), a very good MIL, fairly decent coworkers.
And I am sure it is true for many (if not most here). Pls tell me that's true or I will lose hope in humanity.
So when I read day after day how women are mistreated in the group, I am starting to lose hope, as I said. I see that in the news, ofc but I know that's the nature of the news - it highlights only the not so great stories specifically to draw attention to a problem so that it can be solved. But in a group for women, I see the same unpleasant things happening to women, it's frightening to me.
So ya I want to hear celebratory stories about the good people amongst us as well, at least from time to time to keep my sanity.
Edit: I would like to add my motivation to post this here, just so that the purpose of the post is clear.
Everyone deserves to have loving, good people around them. As a society that's our duty towards its people, to foster a culture where people are raised to be good, reasonable or at the minimum, humane towards others. But the experiences I read here make me feel very bad that fellow women go through horrendous stuff by their own loved ones, leave out strangers. I just hope that the comments we see here give everyone (especially people who are in a bad situation) enough hope that there are good people out there so that they don't lose hope. And they choose to get out of their shitty situation and still have the courage to find love and good people that they can surround themselves with.
