Might sound messed up but I don’t normally feel too personally saddened celeb deaths. Irrfan Khan’s passing just feels personal though. Wanted and needed to see more of him. Just a whole diff kind of void left for viewers and the global film industry.
Why should I add a “Some” when I want to say “men are 🗑”?
Do men say “SOME girls can’t play football”?
Do they say “SOME women belong in the kitchen”?
Do they say “SOME women are too emotional”?
Do they say “SOME women should dress modestly”?
How can I be a man hater? My fiancé is allowed to work, & even drive while accompanied by someone. So is my younger bro. They are also both allowed to wear what they want but they choose to dress modestly because they want to be respected. That’s their choice I support it.
Middle-aged man on the train is talking aggressively to a woman on the phone in Urdu, & usually when men do this, they’re being an asshole, but he’s all like, “NILO, TUM SABKE LIYE KAAM KARTI HO, TUMHARE LIYE KAUN KARTA HAI??? APNA KHAYAL PEHLE RAKHO, PLEASE, LOGON KO DAFA KARO.”
Women don't have pockets in their WORK pants and blazers but men have pockets in their raat ko sone wali chaddi BC KYA RAKH KE SO RAHE HO JAIB MEIN??? KHWAAB???
"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.
m3n will say things like "fatherless behaviour" and "daddy issues" to random women just because they have dyed hair or bright makeup, then go back to looking for a clone of their mom to marry.
If you have parents who can aid you financially in times of need, or whose house you can live in if you lose your job or can’t make rent, or who have assets to gift/leave you in the future, you’re v fortunate. Having a safety net someone else has created for u must feel amazing.

Menstruation as "Starboy" lyrics: A Thread
I'm tryna put you in the worst mood, ah
Breakouts worse than a teen dude, ah
Big red clot just to hurt you, ah
Big red spot when you sneeze too, ah
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.
Woman: Hey I don’t like it when you-
Woke bf: I understand 😔 Im wrong. Im not enough. U r free to leave. U dont deserve this. I love u?? But u don’t deserve this. I will respect ur decision 🥺 if u want to leave😣
Woman: ok so u won’t even try to chang-
Woke bf: 😢I won’t stop u
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.
Once at a family gathering in Pak, an uncle was going all only-men-should-become-doctors. He thought he was sooo funny.
“Zara sa khoon dekh ke toh larkiyan behosh hojati hain, surgery kaise karengi hahah”
Mahine mein ek hafta toh humaari chaddi mein glitter nikalta hai na uncle
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.
I want to write an essay about the phenomenon of being a “girl son,” because people will fight to the finish before they honestly admit it exists and is common, especially in my part of the world — the Pakistani Muslim society + family.
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.
Twitter's horrible when it comes to interactions between Indians and Pakistanis. Full of hate and abuse. If you want to see positive interactions, look at the comments under Coke Studio vids on YouTube, where Pakistanis and Indians are passionately French-kissing each other.
first of all, it's not chai tea.
second of all, i cannot attend life on earth anymore, push me in the ocean.

Straight man: How can women feel harassed, uncomfortable, and unsafe by one sexual remark or hug? Get thicker skin. Victim mentallity.
Gay man 6 feet away: Hello.
Straight man: WHOA WHOA bro you are NOT coming even an inch closer to me ok i'm NOT that kinda guy DON'T TOUCH ME.
It’s wild that insecurity is so deeply tied to womanhood and femininity, while the most insecure individuals I’ve met, read about, and heard of are men.
"Bhakti Chai launched a social-change initiative, GITA (Give, Inspire, Take Action) to award grants to causes that range from feeding the homeless to providing access to clean water. To date, the co. has given away $500K"
BHAKTI & GITA omg. Also 500k ain't shit if u made 35 mil.
hello bisexuals just wanted to say you are valid as FUCK even if you:
- have never experienced sexual intimacy/romance with the same-sex
- feel like you're on the ace spectrum
- aren't with a same-sex partner
THERE IS A 'B' IN 'LGBT' FOR A REASON
IT'S CAUSE U VALID, B.
The second you talk shit about men, insufferable manbabies crawl out of everywhere like "UR FATHER IS ALSO A MANZ".
Your mom is also a woman, but has that stopped you from being a bag of dicks to women? LOL didn't think so, get lost now, you friendless bastard.
This range of people in love in Kuch Toh Hua Hai was so cute and pretty diverse for 2003. It takes barely 9-10 seconds of the song but I remember being so touched by it as a kid lol.
Dudes are still telling us to go back to the kitchen or make them a sandwich as a comeback on social media. Sir, it's 2020. If you're bent on not growing as a person, at least upgrade your misogyny. Windows 95 ass.
I was following a recipe for aloo palak on YouTube, and the woman cooking said, "Aur ab ismein jayega humara 3G paste" and i'm like HUH? She goes "Ginger paste, garlic paste, green chilli paste."
I fuckin' live for aunties.
once in 2012 i wore red eyeliner to uni & a cute girl stopped in her tracks, tilted her head & squinted at me. i thought great, she thinks i look weird. i said "what?" she goes "sorry i was just dazzled by your eyes."
really taught me how to flirt, i'm still blushing 8 yrs later
me at home (quietly): hmmm kuch meetha khaane ka dil chah raha hai
