In my case, I thought I had hurt myself. Like how kids fall and knee bleeds but the blood stops after a while. Thought I was 'old' enough to handle it 
 Somehow this didn't stop, I panicked and went crying to mom. 
 I cried even more when mom said, this will continue every month for almost half my life 😫

Sorry but hurt myself part is really funny. Although as a guy, I want to ask. What's your advice if a girl is going through periods (ofc my gf, if I ever have one lol) my ex gf had period pain and I couldn't help cuz I didn't know anything all I said was "DRinK waTEr" I know nothing about periods only from biology books, which is menstrual cycle and it's timeframe. What's your advice how should I had helped her during periods?

I couldn't figure out where exactly I had hurt myself so I came out screaming out of the bathroom 😂 
 My mom shushed me and I hugged her tight throughout the night 🥺

I thought I had shit my pants. And that too some really bad stuff. First period was brown black. So I did not figure it out to be blood. I was expecting red blood for my period (I was already told to expect blood by that age and was prepared for periods).  
 Anyways, I didn't tell my mother and kept washing my clothes for two days on my own till my mother figured it out.

Is this the right to platform to discuss ?

I hated it. It felt like a burden and doom.

Growth and strategy

My first periods started when I was in school. I was attending a class, and sitting on the first bench, right in front of my teacher. Firstly I couldn't understand what's happening that's not under my control? Am I peeing in my pants? I stood up for something, and it started again. It was such a confusing situation. 
 Fortunately the flow was less. Went home and asked mom what's happening, and then it never stopped 😐

Awkward question I know, but my recent monthly visitor made me realise  even after decades of having it I still haven't figured it out.

Sorry if this question sounds offensive 
But yesterday made me realise ALL genders have faced this hair on body insecurity 

Women who get facial hair, men who don't

Gals & guys, at what age did you start grooming facial and body hair?

1. In depth Medical study of female body. 
It is shocking how doctors treat women issues with a contraceptive pill (and it is just not in India). Not their fault, we don't have much data to refer to.

2. Shift focus on Male Contraception.
It makes more sense to remove bullets than move out people.

3. Inflation, poor life standards, lack of choices and pseudo feminists pushed women to earn a living.
While I 100% support financial independence, no one asked for support in household chores. Those are 24X7 jobs, and equally energy draining.
Yes, things are changing. Our generations' couples are well beyond but still needs fixing.

4. Make marriage & kids a choice and not norm or "next in plan" theory.
You want them? Cool!
You don't want them? Cool!

5. Talk about feminine health more.
Do not just write ass long LinkedIn posts dissing period leaves because you have fairly light ones. Also, periods are just one part. There are more steps and goes beyond reproductive age. Specific reasons why are mothers have suddenly been so cranky 

6. Schooling needs recentering.
You put kids in all-boys/girls schools to prevent "young distraction" and when they embrace non-binary relationships, you are upset over not following "culture".

7. Men & women CAN be friends.
Yes, there are higher chances of the relations going beyond or less, but not all opposite genders experience sexual tensions. This is why we aren't animals (most of us aren’t)

[Long post] Things we should talk on Women's Day, and you'll agree to them

I might delete this post later but recently I came across a tweet that says the average body count of girls in Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore is more than their age.

So are hookups these common? I myself live in Mumbai and I am 21 year old guy and still virgin and I feel left out seeing the people talking so much about sex online and telling that they are hooking up and all. I want to know who are these people, like most of the girls I know in my friend circle are virgin and they are not looking for hookups, so who are these people having sex and what is the average age of these people because I can't find the age mentioned anywhere. And should I be worried because although I am 6 feet tall and handsome guy and still virgin and single, if yes then please give some advice.

Am I the asshole?

After a few months clear to me an employee was taking company for a ride. Average a few days a week in the office, otherwise sick/on errands, delivered no work. CTC 55L.

Before I could fire her, she announced she was taking Maternity leave a few months into the job. Well crap guess I need to pay her for 6 more months more because of laws I don't understand. Rip my bank account.

She returns, same issues. I put her on a pip & she resigned telling me I'm sexist and it will be hard to find a new job now. I say sorry, performance was bad, she can do pip and stay if things are better. She askes for 2 months salary and i agree.

A lawyer calls telling me I need to pay more or they will file a case. Said I discriminated to her, and it's not legal.

I think this person is a bully/psycho/self entitled. But am I the asshole?

Women of GrapeV, how do you deal with PCOS

Ever since 9th grade, I watch a football compilation video every time I am about to step on the field to play football. ⚽️🏟️

While I’m tying my shoe laces, the music thumping in my ears with cinematic visuals of the most insane football skills ever. 🤯

All throughout my college days as well, before every football game. I used to carry my headphones with me and watch a video. Emulate some flairs and new skills on the field, score long range goals and Shush the crowd. 🤫

Even today, when that time has long gone by, anytime there is a friendly Sunday match between friends. I’m sure to blast some music and just watch football before playing.

And yes, even today I get the same goosebumps as I step on the field and touch the ball. It’s the best feeling ever.

What about you? What’s the one unexpected habit that has stuck with you ever since you were a kid? 🤔💭

Average Tech Bro bragging about toxic work culture. Hell yeah most of us put up with this coz we have no choice, especially in India where someone else will do it if we don't.

As a kid, who wasn't extreme ill-mannered, have had my share of beatings 
I think it is ego satisfaction or let out of anger on something you have produced and feel entitled to use as punching bag

But ones who haven't been subjected to those are in a high of their own.
Feels like they were God sent for leveling up Earth

Hence, extremes.
What’s your opinion?
