So I've been taking working out a little more seriously than I have in the past. My m0m is an otherwise smart person, but I find her social media use really annoying at this point. She constantly sends me reels and tiktoks about how lifting is dangerous, or that consuming protein powder is bad for you etc. For someone who can think critically and scientifically, this shit bothers me to no end. My s1s and I have had countless, well-thought-out convos with her about not believing this kind of shit, but it's to no avail.
It's probably worse when you're a desi female in her 40s who lifts heavy. I get asked how I keep my figure after kids and at my age. When I tell them what I do, they argue with me.

It's as if I'm supposed to be weak delicate or something. But if I gave birth, it's nothing extra ordinary. Giving birth is of course much more taxing and painful than the toughest gym workout.
But I don't understand the Indian mentality towards fitness and gym.
