"Girl, don't yell. We're all here for love." 1. We all know when "girl" is being used for sister solidarity and when it's being used for condescension. 2. You take someone's mic and then tell them not to yell when the only option they have to be heard is to raise their voice.

There's something to note in how bisexual women are invalidated as "straight girls who just wanna be edgy, and look hot to men" & bisexual men are invalidated as "gay men who are too scared to come out as gay". The assumption that everyone secretly and actually wants men is wild.

one of the most damaging things bollywood (and film/tv in general) has done is perpetuate the whole pyaar ek hi bar hota hai bullshit. it's a lie. they're peddling a lie. and you may not know it but it's probably subconsciously kept you from moving on and accepting love before.

The other day, I was thinking abt how in Urdu, genitalia is called "sharam-gah," which one could argue uses the same tone as "privates," but it... doesn't? Always struck me as weird that "sharam-gah" literally means "place of shame" like it's inherently shameful to have genitals.

Desi kid culture is worrying more about how your parents will be affected by bad news in your life than about how the bad news will affect you. Not even talking about news that gets you in trouble with your parents. It could be a medical diagnosis, being fired, an injury, a loss.
