In an urgent need of housing (Canada) a few years ago, I rented a house with all men (roomied w bf at the time (all aged22-26 yo) and one black lady (who worked 16 hours a day).

The house, predictably, was in HORRIBLE condition. Mold, cockroaches, DINGY as fuck, every thing was broken, dirty beyond repair and just horrible.

The landlord was a Bangladeshi middle aged man- who would come in without notice, did repair any (no one asked), walked in without knocking- he was horrible too. Great at collecting rent tho.

He never liked me because I asked him to repair our broken window (shielded w a garbage bag in -15 degree winter) and clean out black mold (can cause serious lung damage, eye and skin damage too), which he didn’t but I asked.

One day, my bf was at work and I was asleep in the bedroom, when I heard someone at my door, and the landlord walked in! I yelled at him naturally and he blamed me for being rude.

I told my bf that the LL should give notice before coming to the house- my bf said-m- he’s the landlord, it’s his house you should be grateful he’s letting you stay.

And there’s been so many many instances- and you’ll notice it too- where men just are ok w living in horrible conditions, just because.

They have such low standards of living and expect everyone to deal with it.

Not only Indian problem (but specifically india).

Women may be dirty and messy, but there are still limits to it, and they’re a select few ffr.

It’s their mindset atp

Hi guys,
I’ve been working as a family assistant/house manager for an Indian family in the US for the last 10 years. I started working for them as a student, eventually became their house manager, and now I basically manage everything for the family of four — travel, household staff, childcare support, personal care, etc.

They’re now permanently moving back to India, and before I leave my job, they’ve asked me to help set up their household staff and systems in Mumbai.
I’m honestly a little lost on where to start, so I’m hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I’ve spoken to a few agencies, but haven’t had much luck. I’m not hiring anyone through Reddit — I’m just trying to figure out whether these requirements are realistic in Mumbai and, if so, whether there are reputable agencies or companies that specialize in this type of placement.

Here’s what they’re looking for:
1. Nannies — 2–3 positions
Highly educated (degree in any field)
Fluent in English
French or Spanish would be a bonus
3+ years of professional childcare experience
Knowledge of gentle/Montessori-style parenting
Able to drive with a clean driving record
Clean police/background check
Willing to travel with the family, including weekends at their farmhouse
Passport would be a bonus
Starting salary: ₹80,000–₹100,000+/month depending on qualifications and experience
Overtime pay
Benefits
Raises over time
Rotational shifts between the nannies
Live-in position
2. Driver — 1 position
Female only
Full-time
Clean driving record
Responsible for school drop-offs/pickups for the children, as well as driving the parents when needed
Salary: ₹50,000–₹60,000/month
Benefits
Overtime pay
Live-in is not required, although accommodation is available at the farmhouse when needed
3. Cook — 1 position
Daily cooking for a family of 4
Strong knowledge of nutrition
Comfortable preparing different types of cuisines
Responsible for grocery shopping (a driver will be provided)
Must be willing to travel with the family, including weekends at the farmhouse
Housing provided
Salary: ₹80,000–₹100,000+/month depending on experience
Benefits
Overtime pay
Live-in position
4. Housekeeper — 1 position
Professional housekeeping/cleaning experience
Strong knowledge of cleaning products and proper cleaning methods
Deep cleaning experience is essential
Must be experienced as a professional cleaner, not just general household help
Salary: ₹60,000–₹75,000/month depending on experience
Live-in position

The family is based in Mumbai, and they have a farmhouse south of Mumbai on a 20-acre property. Staff would have accommodation available there when the family is staying at the farmhouse.
The education requirement is especially important for the nanny positions, as is having a clean police/background check.

If anyone has experience hiring high-end household staff in Mumbai, works with reputable domestic staffing agencies, or knows of agencies that specialize in nannies/house managers/private household staff, I’d really appreciate
any recommendations.

Career nannies and household managers are good careers in the US with good pay. But in India, only women from unprivileged backgrounds work such jobs, I realise this is a class/caste issue- but I was hoping there is hope lol

Thank you!

Protesting against this SHITTY system.

That 13 year old kid who was raped by 30 men, HER LAWYER RAPED HER.

A kid was impregnated by her biological father.

Why are we not on the streets yet?

There needs to be a political party or group or protest- putting women’s issues first.

I don’t want to hear anything about women aren’t united enough- because enough women are, those feeding into the patriarchy and misogyny can suck ass and we can ignore them.

As women, we hear it everywhere- “notice how a man treats his mother, that’s how he will treat you@ what a load of bs. Have you seen these mother worshipping, sacrifice glorifying men.

And tbh, hot take- men don’t respect their mothers beyond superficial things that are expected- greeting them, not yelling (if they’re halfway decent).

They respect their fathers- consciously or subconsciously, fathers are their role models. They are the head of the family, so ofc they look up to them.

Mind you, this is regardless of their relationship m- a man hating their dad can turn out exactly that. Very very very few people (not men alone) are self aware enough, and determined enough to learn and unlearn behaviours and biases from their childhood experiences.

If his father is a misogynistic patriarch, chances are that’s your blueprint for YOUR man.

If his father respects and loves his wife (the mother), that’s the blueprint he has to act accordingly.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. I will take your leave. There are good men out there- trust.

Asked chat to tighten it up cause I was rambling

Hi,
My sister, my cousin, and I have been discussing something that’s been weighing on us for a while, and we’re trying to understand whether we are being unreasonable or simply unaware of our actual legal rights.

We come from a joint family with ancestral property involved. There are 5 of us in the next generation (2 boys and 3 girls). The general understanding we’ve grown up with is that property is primarily meant for the sons, and daughters are not considered equal heirs in practice, even though we are part of the same family.

At the same time, we’ve seen very different financial outcomes among male cousins in the wider family. One cousin sold his share of ancestral land, used it to build two successful businesses abroad, and bought a house. Another cousin has a stable job in India but also receives around ₹2 lakh/month as passive income from land holdings, without actively working for it. These examples make it hard not to question the imbalance in how family assets translate into opportunity.

In contrast, the three of us (all women in the family) have not received similar support or access to family assets. Whenever we bring up inheritance or our share, the response is often that we are being “greedy” or trying to take “bread away from our brothers.” They literally try to shame us- and act shocked by our “greed”.

When we ask what about our share, we’re told that daughters “belong to their pati’s house” and that we will eventually have access to our pati’s property instead. But for us, that logic feels disconnected—because we are not married yet, and we are talking about birthright in our own family’s ancestral property, not hypothetical future situations.
In one recent instance, after this topic was raised seriously within the family, property records/ownership were changed in a way that moved assets to other relatives, which made us feel even more uncertain about where we stand legally.

On a personal note, this situation also affects future decisions in my life. I have a partner I intend to marry, but he comes from a similar background where land, inheritance, and “family reputation” matter a lot. If I were to pursue this legally, I worry it could affect how his family perceives me, since similar biases around daughters and property exist in many land-owning families.

We are not trying to destroy family relationships. But every time we raise this, it turns into accusations of greed, as if asking for our share is equivalent to taking something away from our brothers.

From our perspective, we are simply asking: if there is ancestral property, where is our rightful share in it?

Has anyone here thought of this, because I don’t see anyone talk about property rights on “feminist discourse” everyone has online

Hi,

I haven’t heard anyone talk about this- so here’s what my sisters and I have been thinking.

My sister, me and my first cousin have been discussing about wanting our share of the property.

Our family is sorta rich-ish (middle class with lost potential lol). Whenever we bring up this topic our family is TRIGGERED. For the first time, I feel I have some power over them because this is fear disguised as anger- I’ve realised.

We talk about it seriously- if not given willingly, we will sue them.

This mostly came from their taunts of not making it big in life (all of us in our 20s), and our cousins 1. Who sold his land and built successful businesses abroad and bought a house “yet we can’t even afford rent”. Cousin 2. Has a decent paying job, and gets 2lakhs a month from his land- doesn’t lift a finger.

And we get so pained to see not being helped the way these people have such a cushion.

I live abroad, I struggle here, my parents refused to help her w her business (said they’ll pay for wedding instead and didn’t allow her to do a job even).

My boy cousin, doesn’t even know how to navigate bus/public transport (we’re in the same city) and his sister has to help him out financially.

She has a white bf which she won’t marry because she loves her parents but they want her to marry a guy from same community because she’ll be there to support them (because they know the boy is a nikamma). That’s how selfish they are.

So we decided to ask for our share. If not we’ll sue.

My sister had this conversation out of anger once, and laid it all out, my dad the next day changed names on the property to uncles and aunts’ names (she checked lol).

Anyway, who else is thinking of asking for their rights?

I have a bf whose family also comes from land owning background (they have civil jobs tho) and if they knew I was fighting my parents for my share, they will not agree to marriage.

I want to explain more, but I feel my desi girls will understand this! Sorry for being incoherent, I realise it.
