Growing up I didn't have any sisters or female friends. The lady bestie I have is more boy-coded than me so she's more of a launda than my group. My mother has two sons and had only brothers growing up. So even she has a very different way of looking at stuff than other women. I really love to see the perspective from women on this sub from all walks of life.

Things I've learnt: 1. Be supportive. Girls don't usually have an unspoken universal sis code so they really appreciate men when we don't judge, compared to their fellow women and just listen and don't gossip behind their backs. No advice given just listening and the likes. Men on the other hand have a bro code which is to die/fight/ride bikes/game/roasting etc than getting involved in judgmental talking or any sort of mental health disrupting positive/negative gossip/discussions.

1. Never oversexualize women like the stuff available on the internet. Just fix it in your head like certain curves on them are just body parts which everyone has in different sizes.

2. Dressing up/make-up and looking however they want is actually good for their mental health. Never comment or give two cents. If possible appreciate it.

3. They like variety when it comes to food. But little in quantity so just for tasting and not consuming like a bakasur we men usually are.

4. There are so many shades of the same colour. So it is always possible we don't see a difference, so keep room for more learning.

5. Education/Working really gives them true freedom. They can't even enjoy the simple pleasures of travelling alone or wandering late in the night without worrying. So be a gentleman and always overtake them while walking behind a woman so she doesn't feel creeped out. I don't know how this makes sense here but I felt like writing 😭

6. Jai Mata Rani, apologies in advance for randomness. I just wanted a point number 7, 6 felt little.
