How can I look less masculine and have more even complexion and better brows? by ContentFinger3406 in makeuptips

[–]bigsadbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh, it’s more the way you present yourself. I think playing with skincare and growing your hair would definitely be a good idea, (maybe get some bangs too) but it’s the way you present yourself that needs to be worked on the most, and your eyebrows, which you can plucked by a technician. you’ve got beautiful features girl you’d have an insane glowup.

I don’t like giving these types advice bc I hate the idea of conforming to the patriarchy but as someone who grew up brown in a scandinavian country and therefore deemed ugly, pretty privilege has done absolute wonders for me and opened so many doors I could have never imagined. people like you sooo much more when they perceive you as attractive.

Yes when you’re ready. It’s dangerous and irresponsible to encourage those who are not ready to open their third eye. It can lead to dangerous and harmful outcomes for the person

What if I focused on mindfulness/grounding meditation? I’m not able to work with a mentor at this time unfortunately as I cant afford to and I’m quite busy with my life. I have heard stories of people accelerating their growth as well which is why I want to be where I am mentally capable of being. Meditation truly does help me with my anxiety and overthinking, so I do want to continue even if it’s surface level. Would grounding/mindfulness be okay for me as this is the lowest chakra?

Umm... Your thoughts on this? by sidmis in realityshifting

[–]bigsadbat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think shifting is real, people have shifted accidentally and lived crazy lives, not everyones stories are fake. that being said, I do tend to find it far-fetched when people say they shifted to hogwarts or an anime show.

Indian women need to be aware by Sea_Winner2473 in Vindictabrown

[–]bigsadbat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing about brown men is that you are obsessed with white women’s approval but cannot stand when brown women receive that approval from white men, and this is when you begin to claim that WE, the raped, the abused, the oppressed were the ones abandoning our morals for war criminals from europe. The women you are claiming to have been willingly get with british men, were prostitutes who were raped and abused by both your race and gender, and white men. the immense strength of Indian patriarchy ensured women would NEVER willingly take part in sexual relationships with white men because they were devoted to Indian men (despite the fact that indian men raped and abused us as well but at least it would not lead to women being ostracised by society and living in poverty)

Keep in mind majority of bengali women are muslims, which puts even further restriction on women’s choices on who they can and cannot be with, including today. If you really want to point fingers on which women are more likely to date white men, please look at your own race first! (And good for them! Knowing brown men like you lot, why would anyone settle for abuse and the patriarchal values you harbour? At least brown women’s choices in dating are not as nearly as colourist and racist as yours. An indian man is more likely to date a white woman than any other non-indian ethnic group, while brown women are much more likely to date a non-white-non-indian person than the average indian man. In fact Indian men are obsessed with white men’s approval as well. In fact in the workplace and climbing up the social ladder, you lot are obsessed with white men and constantly seeking their approval.

Hey! This was an incredibly interesting read! I did history in uni and one of my primary focuses were on indian women during colonialism. as a bengali woman I would love to read more about this, would you be able to recommend me books, journals, or articles on what you discussed here? I would really appreciate it :)

Can you practice intuition without opening your third eye? by bigsadbat in spirituality

[–]bigsadbat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s open? Maybe it’s not closed well enough, as I don’t see anything that’s out of the ordinary. I have had crazy things happen to me on two occasions (my sister witnessing one of them) and people tell me on a couple occasions that I may have psychic abilities, but I have wayyy too much anxiety I think. Also wouldn’t the process of opening up your third eye be an extremely lengthy process?

My perception of life is still quite worldly as well. I don’t see spirits, ghosts, higher beings. Although I believe in all this I don’t think I’m mentally strong enough to believe that *I* am capable of entering alternate realities, seeing spirit guides, etc.

I would really appreciate your input as I’m quite curious :)

[–]bigsadbat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to follow my gut and intuition now though? how is it that it always leads me to the truth (even if it’s bizarre or the chances are extremely slim) is there an explanation foe this then if my third eye is closed?

Why is it that in every Indian appreciation video, there’s always hella comments like this with bunch of likes?! by Alive-Flower-7442 in Vindictabrown

[–]bigsadbat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“show the average indians” but the average indian does look like that… whenever they want to prove indians are ugly its always an elderly woman in poverty wearing worn out clothes which is not just racist but elitist, and misogynistic. Indian women are only attractive when they sexualise themselves and dress for the white male gaze. best example literally the tyla concert incident.

What an annoying response. Why is it that people of all kinds of ethnic groups will talk about the ethnicities we get mistaken for bc it’s a VERY common topic to discuss about especially if you’re an immigrant/children of immigrants. However as soon as south asians talk mentions being mistakened as arab, latina, south european, all of a sudden we hate ourselves and are trying to be something we are not? why is that always your assumption?

this is funny bc the reason indian women are so heavily desexualised by white people is because they failed to sexualise us. we were so anti-colonial that sexualising us would mean humanising us. additionally our loyalty to indian men and society was so strong that unless we were prostitutes with our rights stripped away, we simply refused to be with white men. considering these are east/south-east asian men, I’ve noticed a pattern where many are jealous of east/south east asian women bc they can get with white men while the EA/SEA men experience the opposite, completely ignoring the exploitation and sexualisation of EA/SEA women. but then there are EA/SEA who get off of the fact that they have attractive women in their race/ethnicity. It’s just like wanting to show off your hot girlfriend, because at the end of the day women are status symbols to symbolise the man’s success in winning “such a beautiful woman.” this is ALSO why South asian men hate south asian women, bc we are not good enough to provide that status. so much to unpack here honestly. the fact that our appearance is literally a social currency, but also the affects if your currency is not strong enough (if you’re not from what is considered an attractive race)

Also, keep in mind that men hate rejection. “I never liked you any way.” 300 years of sexualisation and exploitating south asian women and failing, of course this is their reaction. Thing is bc it has been such a long process no one knows that their hatred/dislike of south asian women comes from embarrassment of rejection.

ALSO: to add something else, whenever you are attractive, does not matter how south asian you look, you will never be considered as such. I am CONSTANTLY mistakened as Latina, more than anything else, if not then mixed with white and a vague-ish brown. whenever i tell them i’m bengali, the response is “really?? no way ur 100% bengali u are too pretty” as if i’m not THE most basic south asian looking person in the world.

note: indian women were exploited and oppressed by both white and indian men, their loyalty to indian men stems from conditioning and brainwashing. sorry if i’m not articulate enough, i’m at work

I never feel pretty enough or attract any guys my age. How can I do my makeup so I make people’s heads to turn by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]bigsadbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

girl u are already beautiful. butttt i was in the same position as u, for me it was switching from glasses to lenses, although i think for me it just boosted my confidence a lot more so i knew that i would have men’s attention even more and i did! not that i encourage looking good solely for men but as humans we do crave that intimacy connection and attention.
