I love my uncles. Theyre the best. Although my brothers do a good job of keeping some of the weird ones well away from our family settings- at home or at a party. So I'm only really around the good ones- I've known them forever.
But some of the weirder ones, I've heard some very twisted things which just happened to leak into the womens circles. I make sure my dupatta is well spread around me when I'm around unfamiliar ones. I do the same with the ones we're really close to, but my gaurds go up when it comes to the ones we dont entertain much. Also, if we're hosting a dawat, and there're strange uncles, its segregated, and when it comes to serving tea, I prepare it and have a brother or cousin come and take it.
I just try to be very careful around uncles I dont know much, I've heard stories that have made me a lot more.. aware.
But to make it simple, the men in our family make sure no weird men are ever in our familial settings, and only let those in who we've known forever and they trust. Even then, I dont make appearances unless absolutely necessary or if serving.
