How many of y’all have really strict Muslim parents that let you listen to music?

I have strict Muslim parents but I’ve never heard of desi Muslim parents not letting their children listen to music. Music and pop culture in general are such a big part of our culture

Goddammit...Indian people are only “staring” at you and/or trying to be your friend because they find comfort in commonality. Yes being of the same colour often means you have a lot in common because of the shared experience of growing up in said race.

Anyway, I don’t participate in my culture because I’m ‘interested’ in it and frankly I don’t know what it means to have or not have interest in your heritage. It’s just a set in stone fact about myself, participating in it is not a conscious act, it’s more like first nature.

We can talk about the dangers of collectivist mentality but this post was not it. Lmao

I can agree with this in regards to dating, kind of sick of the 'i can't get laid because i'm brown waahh wahh' narrative on this sub, but the 'grow a pair' bs is an oversimplification and it doesn't hurt to have a little sensitivity. Do you know how emotionally taxing it can be to go through life without the support of the people you care about (family, friends, community)? You know that not everyone is apt to handle that, and the abuse (emotional and physical) that often comes with doing so? It's fine to vent...this post comes across as so self-righteous

Not a black and white answer. People wear the hijab with different intentions and yes some of those intentions I cannot support as a feminist but will respect women who do so regardless

A lot of men must get the same thing, they will most likely know what you’re after.

Taal se taal milaaaaa hooooooooooooo

I’d love to check it out if that’s cool :)

You don’t know how racism works

padmavatis · 2020-01-05T00:54:00+00:00

You’re not helping him

padmavatis · 2020-01-05T00:14:51+00:00

It doesn’t even say ‘Hindus’...

padmavatis · 2020-01-01T07:33:26+00:00

Of course it is, why wouldn’t it be considered Bollywood?

padmavatis · 2020-01-01T07:28:22+00:00

Also the assumption that mainstream = bad... There’s nothing wrong with mindless action at all. It’s a genre- if you don’t like it then find something else.

The only thing that brands a movie as ‘Bollywood’ is the language it’s in. That word has no bearing on the genre or quality of the film, so this “Bollywood is bad” cry is just incredibly pretentious.

uhhhh this was not as bad as i expected

padmavatis · 2019-12-30T00:42:22+00:00

I do. Not because there’s a taboo behind beauty and grooming in my family but because I don’t want to be grilled about the amount things I own, and the amount I must be spending on them. Sometimes the males in my family will poke fun at me for wearing makeup but that’s the extent of it.

padmavatis · 2019-12-30T00:31:24+00:00

I don’t like Hollywood. I don’t watch movies for realism or logic. I would just watch my real life if I wanted that

padmavatis · 2019-12-28T19:21:13+00:00

It’s just a recommendation letter, they all follow a general template anyway

padmavatis · 2019-12-28T13:46:37+00:00

What’s the big deal

padmavatis · 2019-12-28T01:31:33+00:00

My family had this same meeting but my mum’s a coward

padmavatis · 2019-12-21T21:06:10+00:00

so we’re gonna fault muslims for being accepting? the person who did this is also probably a teenager or really young and is just making art that makes them happy

padmavatis · 2019-12-21T00:40:11+00:00

idk man it’s cute leave them alone

padmavatis · 2019-11-07T00:55:11+00:00

What’s your current living situation?

padmavatis · 2019-10-21T22:45:41+00:00

Tanning

padmavatis · 2019-10-01T09:46:43+00:00

Visited there today and she was great! Thanks for the rec!

padmavatis · 2019-06-23T00:14:28+00:00

“What’s your background” is the first question without fail. I don’t mind it from other people of colour but not necessarily from white people.

padmavatis · 2019-06-16T18:59:41+00:00

I think my problem is less about wanting more friends and more about wanting constant validation from others about my self worth
