@yerinxn i’m still pulling on this set and i got all junk 😳
English
@orsies - deep within Indian women circles (esp when it comes to aunties and older women). we’ve normalised metro me aunties giving weird looks at young women, sometimes even giving unsolicited advice- it’s not normal.
hope we can move past all this and let women live their life.
English
@orsies you’re right. I didn’t realise that even now I’m on a strict diet not because I simply wanna lose weight, but because I just want my chest to be smaller so women consider me normal.
it’s fucked up.
but yes, we really do need to talk about how much internalised misogyny runs -

unfortunately a lot of the time the sexualisation of big breasts comes from other women.
Two friends of mine told me to my face that only sex workers have bigger chests (I have a bigger chest)
and a few of my teachers made me cover up my chests with dupatta even when I was -

characters with big breasts should be allowed to exist, the problem isn’t the size but how people see them as inherently sexual. including artists themselves, unfortunately.

and to put in my 2 cents, making character's breast smaller in a redesign while calling it "better and *finally* not sexualised" is not as woke as some might think it is.

@orsies to hide my body which cannot be hidden (no matter how much I cover it).
its sad your mom had to go through this 💔 no woman deserves this. and esp not from another woman
English
@orsies it’s really so dehumanising, especially so when it comes from people you think are close to you (like for me it was a really good friend, and for your mom it was family).
I broke down about this very recently too and wanted to cut off my chest just to avoid the anguish of having

- wearing lose kurtas.
I also got very ugly stares from these women, to the point that it made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
Somehow, no man to date has made me feel as disgusted with myself as these women have in my entire life.

@Adela_Setara As an aside, do you know this man personally?
English
@Adela_Setara - stepping outside rigid gender norms in the first place. It is half of the same battle women fight when they challenge gender norms too.
If women shame men for doing things perceived as ‘feminine,’ who’s really the butt of the joke : men, or femininity itself?
English
This is a stark reminder of how often women themselves end up reinforcing patriarchy. Esp when it targets men who step outside rigid gender norms. Feminism isn’t just about uplifting women. A huge part of it is dismantling toxic masculinity and supporting men when they reject it

@kittymerization gender roles do not exist, it's a social construct.

just like with muslims and christians, while sikhism prohibits discrimination based on caste officially, sikhs (muslims and christians) CAN still be casteist.
they can also practice casteism since caste identities remain even after surname changes.
it’s not a hindu problem-

los Singh predican la igualdad, cuando entran a la religión suprimen sus apellidos y por eso todos tienen el apellido Singh, y de esa forma eliminan las castas o los rangos sociales determinados por apellidos. También tienen comedores comunitarios sustentados con su propia plata
