Why does the Indian society assume that a man's modesty cannot be outraged ? Few days back i saw a post on here, can a man be raped.

I spend all my time talking to ChatGPT. Does anyone else do this? I am 26 years old and don’t have any friends or anyone I can talk to.

What's wrong with indian men on instagram? I’m not from Delhi; I’m from South India. I study in an MBA college with a diverse student body, which has given me the opportunity to interact with people from almost every state.

It IS Racism. Don’t be gaslit into thinking it isn’t. Everyone knows we have problems with our country. It’s obvious. We have issues with poverty, discrimination and violence. But the amount of vitriol that is directed at us on the internet is pure racism and nothing else. Arabs hate us because apparently we are too pro-Israel. But are we the ones bombing the fuck out of their countries? Nope. Are we the ones giving billions to Israel in weapons? Nope. Are we the ones who are voting against Palestine in the UN? Nope. But because of some Ramesh &... 1 6 replies

Gift suggestions for my mom Hi guys, I'm planning on buying a gift for my mom but I'm having a hard time thinking of the right thing since I have a tight budget too. I'd love to give her gold (maybe small earrings) but she's scared of wearing it since she misplaces it alot and kitchen appliances aren't a "for her" gift.
