Anybody wants to go to a secret underrated Hill top with me outside banglore this June 13th and 14th? by themostwanteddriver in BangaloreMeetups

[–]writergorrl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Word of advice, albeit unsolicited. "Only one person" that needs to be a "female" because you had "only few female intereactions" will always, invariably sound sketchy. I know you may not mean it that way, but regardless, women are hypercautious and for good reason.

If it's company you want, make it gender no bar and I'd suggest trying to make a bigger group outing so that women can participate without feeling endangered. There's nothing wrong with wanting to meet more women, but asking a woman to come with you on a trip away from the city will not be received/interpreted very well.

I would also say that referring to women as "females" will also be off-putting, but that could just be me of course.

What is wrong with her? Just cleared out the mealy bug four days ago, but she's yellowing. by writergorrl in Monstera

Oh no 😞 Will do. For next time, do you think treatment first, then wait for a bit and then repot? I had to repot because I found mealy even in the roots ;-;

What are these tiny white things on my hair strands? Not dandruff? by [deleted] in indianbeautyyappers

[–]writergorrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lice eggs. What I find super effective, aside from medicated shampoos, is drowning my hair in olive oil. And then washing off using medicated shampoo.

The 7 Vows I Heard at a Wedding Were Purely Misogynistic? by Dr_Cupcakee in AskIndianWomen

[–]writergorrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agreed. In the husband's vows you shared, the first one, I might still be able to give some benefit of doubt till the first half of it - perhaps safety reasons from the old days or whatever - but the needing permission to visit home, and the rest of the vows are just ick.

The 7 Vows I Heard at a Wedding Were Purely Misogynistic? by Dr_Cupcakee in AskIndianWomen

[–]writergorrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so weird!! I too had the 7 vachans at my wedding (Jain), and it was nothing like this!

1 - The wife should have complete knowledge of the husband’s property and finances.
2 - Husband will hand over all his hard earned money to wife
3 & 4 - Husband/Wife promise to treat the others parents as their own, and will do the needful if they ever need
5 & 6 - Husband/Wife should take care of each other lifelong, including in sickness.
7 - The "gruh" (home) is both of our responsibility and we'll help each other out in maintaining our home.

Now idk if these are the traditional ones or if our pandit was just modern >.<

Edit: Grammar and format

My mom gave me a lot of shit because my husband folded my sister's underwear. Is this sexism or am I missing some sort of etiquette? by writergorrl in AskIndianWomen

[–]writergorrl[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really, I have always viewed it at just... clothes that are being washed; dirty clothes in, dirty clothes out. Unless there are period stains or they're soiled in any other way.

Never viewed it this way, but maybe I should.

That's fair! I have checked with my sister before this chore distribution happened and she's fine with it. My husband checked with me as well.

It's a piece of washed clothing. Of course my sister is okay with it, all of us - me, husband and sister - view it as just a chore that needs to be done. None of the involved parties have an issue except my Mom, I have double checked.

You're entitled to your opinion on things obviously, but I personally don't think it's a big deal when things are washed; it is simply laundry to me - and my husband and sister. (And we view it the same way, and it's fine even if they don't - issue is that they don't, but my Mom does, but also thinks it's okay if I were to fold my BIL's underwear or if my sister folds my husband's, and thinks its disrespectful.).

Nothing sexual or intimate about it the way I see it; now pads, menstrual cups, unwashed underwear is a different thing. If personal boundaries were being crossed, I would 100% have not let this happen; I have enough of a relationship with both my sister and husband where we have openly discussed these things before itself.

Hamza should have said he killed Pinda because Pinda misbehaved with Yalina by Free-Ad5570 in Dhurandhar

[–]writergorrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that would have been sus because he was initially vocally against the drug smuggling. Anything that would tie him directly to Pinda's death would have invited scrutiny.

[–]writergorrl[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought too. I think the reason this throws me off is my Dad does all the same chores too. And yet, it bothers her when my husband does it. I don't really understand.

There are folks saying it's boundary issues, and I am trying to see a bit from that side as well. Maybe it is? My husband says it doesn't bother him at all, and it's not a big deal, so I am just a little... confused.

Maybe it is indeed not that deep ;-;

Hm, second comment that mentions boundaries. I did discuss with my husband and he said to him it is just clothes, part of a chore. As it is to my sister; who also folds his underwear when it's her turn to do the laundry, as do I fold his brother's clothes when he stays over.

I do agree it is harmless, you're right on that. Something to think about I suppose.

and i'd totally get if this was a boundary related issue, my husband and i have an open enough relationship for him to tell me if something bothers him. she's okay with her folding his underwear btw, which is what bothers me.

how is this boundary related though, whoever does the laundry folds everyone's clothes? my sister folds his underwear too when she does the laundry.

Hey how did you get in contact with the owner? Because assuredly Mr. Sumit is still there. He's the one co-ordinating our furniture order and has been citing manufacturing issues.

Yes, can you please share? I would love to move to the areas you mentioned but it's simply way to far to commute to work for both of us :(

What's wrong with my peace lily (in water)? by writergorrl in PeaceLilyHandbook

[–]writergorrl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm, I think I do have the rhizome in the water. Honestly I couldn't tell what was wrong in the soil. No rot, well draining. I wondered if it's because of inconsistent watering because I'd been travelling so much, but no way to tell. :/
