I don't know if anyone has said this here before but i genuinely don't think indian, especially hindu men, actually like the culture here. And i am not talking about the men who are overtly racist against indians, i am talking about the self proclaimed religious men. I have never seen these men actually interact with the religion, think about it, read texts, read the history and mythology of the religion. They simply absorb whatever vague wisdom was told to them by say their parents and never question it again. (perhaps because they lack the ability to, idk). This especially true about "religious" men from this generation. They merely see it as a tool to torture women with. They nitpick the texts to justify their misogyny. Hell, they don't even read enough to nitpick, they just pull stuff out of their ass. If there were no women to opress using this faux hinduism, this religion would've died out decades ago.

I don't even wanna get into how these men treat "lower caste" people because that's a huge can of worms i am not mentally prepared to touch.

Me and these people have been friends for 2 years now but there are still some things i cannot tell them. Like how i was abused as a kid and because of it i have a pretty bad fear of getting naked around other and being touched.

I have been in a relationship with this girl for the past year and we've been long distance for the past 3 months. She was back a few days ago and i was telling my friends i was meeting her and one of them jokingly asked if we were planning to have sex. I said no. My gf knows about my past and respects my boundaries but none of my friends know anything because i am not comfortable telling anyone else.

But ever since that day my friend has been teasing me for being comfortablewith sex jokes but being to scared to actually do it. It especially hurts because she was abused too but still she won't understand what i am going through. How do i make her (and my other friends too, for that matter) stop without revealing too much about my past?
