That’s NOT sexist. It’s just not the right guy and move on. You sound like a child throwing a fit. Me, me and more focus on me. I’m female. You’re supposed to be looking for a balance between the two people. If it feels off then it just means it’s not a good balance between two people communicating. Smh
Thank-you for sharing your experience so openly. As a white woman, I don’t know what it is to experience racism and I so appreciate you sharing so that I can know better and do better.
I mean you are basing your argument on stereotypes entirely. Sure there are some Gen Z that do not like to work, but there are also some Gen X and Boomers who do not like to work. You are completely forgetting about the older Generation Z who are working two jobs just to earn enough to live. I agree with your points but do actual research first.
I am United Kingdom 🇬🇧 born Sikh nearly 60 years old early gen, and I can confidently say that the word that is pronounced like “Sick” has only come about since the Canadian and American Sikhs have grown over the last 10-15 years and maybe due to accents! As a Uk Sikh we cringe when we hear you Us Canadians pronounce “Sikhs” as “sick” 🤦♂️ The confusion today, word Sikh which is said to mean student in Gurmukhi, but is only half of the original modern day words used today which mean learning le Sikhna/ Sikhona/ sikhlona/ sikhya. Also maybe thats why some say “ SIKHI” 🤷♂️
Indians need to love themselves. You age well and just like blacks, your skin doesn't crack so why do you all wanna be white? No offense to whites but they age a bit faster.
I have such a desire to be liked by others everything I do is ruled by ‘what would this person think if I dressed like this’ ‘I act this way because I think others will really like being around me if I do’ & once I take away the thought of someone else viewing me, I feel so lost, which, typing this out I realize, I need to get lost to start finding myself despite it being uncomfortable
I'm a 42 y/o man. I can relate to this as I've been brought up with overprotective, over controlling (using fear and guilt manipulation) traditional Indian parents, understandably, from their programming and life experience, imposed their version of reality on to me and my siblings. My parents (passed away now) couldn't let go and there were many arguments, conflicts, verbal and emotional abuse without any rational or conscious discussions about certain life decisions, without them getting over emotional. They wanted me and all my siblings (I've got two older sisters currently in their 50s, an older brother who's 51 and a younger sister who's 41) to live on the same house for the rest of our lives. My mum, wanted to move out to a bigger house with more space, but my father didn't want to move, then as we were growing and getting older, there wasn't enough space in the house, embarrassingly, we only had 1 bathroom. I proposed the idea of converting our loft into a two bedroom, which did happen, but only with persistence and my dad didn't want to. There were many times when my older sisters went out socialising with their friends and returning late, and my parents shouting and asking why they were late. For goodness sake, these two are grown up women! Then, in 2010, I had the courage to finally move out and live independently, I had saved enough cash and was working, but I will never forget that day I moved out. There was uproar, arguments, verbal abuse and almost got physical. I did everything maturely and even gave my parents enough notice that I will be moving out. When I finally moved into my apartment, it was a big weight of my shoulder, but that unresolved traumatic event was still in my subconscious mind. I had to stay strong and said to myself, this my is my reality and I am responsible! Fast forward, it's now 2024. I am happily married to a non-Indian woman and we have a beautiful almost 9 year old daughter. I am conscious of my inter-generational trauma and will NOT impose any of the shit I experienced from my parents. My daughter has great mental and emotional health by living in a loving and caring environment that she allows her to naturally reach her infinite potential. Me and my wife encourage her to think for herself and come to her conclusions and creative abilities. Nothing is forced.
lol as if women don't do the same thing. You look like you are about a 6 or 7, so make a profile for what you consider a 6 or 7 as a male and see how well "the patriarchy" works out for you.
Perhaps respond with “What do you mean by that?” instead? I find that forces them to either present a perspective I wasn’t aware of and was actually misunderstanding them (so avoids unnecessary conflict) or to double down on their racism/rudeness/etc but eventually they would have to say the quiet part out loud in front of everyone or to back down and apologise.
i bet she's gotten so much unnecessary hate, she's objectively cuter than me and smarter and more eloquent, and even i have gotten so much hate from other women for their jealousy. shout out to my mom, my number one hater!
With so much crime against women in streets and workplace, rising unemployment, inflation skyrocketing, unaffordable healthcare, housing crisis and countless other problems, it is impossible to get detached from parents even for boys , let alone the girls thinking of doing the same.
We are good at white washing. We have been forced to make things new and exciting or we don’t stand out. Even in coaching we are taught to do this. Were we ever original to anything?
Yoga's globalization is just a white washed methods to wipe out the roots and culture of Yoga. We don't know it anymore. Because these whites who claim to be conscious with their outfits, and fitness is for fake people who use it to hide their egos, which contradicts Yoga's values
There are in fact people who are raised in cultures where it is not encourage to pry into a stranger’s personal life. Perhaps we should all accept that reality of sharing a diverse planet instead of expecting things to accommodate our preferences.
people can't handle it... My real personality is like Jim Carrey at his peak but I've got to go to corporate meetings and people really want women to be very simple and pleasant. so instead, I come off extremely uptight and stoic because that's how I feel like the world pressures me to act. I am REALLY out there much more than the average person
That that really wasn’t helpful. You really didn’t mention any tools to address the situation. What if you don’t know what kind of script you should play out? More insight is needed
I’m sorry. You sound really stupid when you strongly promote both sides. I never had sex before marriage- don’t get me wrong I still really want to - but your arguments for that were terrible.
The issue is WHY are they not asking questions. Are they shy, disinterested, whatever. But have you asked the men any questions? If he is just talking about himself, then try to take a lead from one of his statements to talk about your topics. If he isn't interested in listening (and responding) then put it down to a bad experience and move on. But you have to remember that many men feel that they have to prove themselves to women and this might be his attempt to do so. Personally, as a bloke, I think that not asking questions of anyone is missing an opportunity, but there may be reasons.
