Re: A Pakistani Girl
Well, good for you!!! but guess what? Just because it happened in your family doesn’t mean it’s like that everywhere and that goes for every.single.thing. For all the girls who you saw being treated this way, I knew many more who were made to sit at home, forgo their studies in favor of marriage, not be allowed to go out, not allowed to have friends, called sluts for wanting to wear jeans, even after marriage were still controlled and restricted by their own parents…so…point is just because your experience wasn’t like that growing up doesn’t mean everyone else’s is and to dismiss everyone’s experiences.
It started when one guy said that it was propaganda as if it doesn’t happen ever and she’s making it up.
Also, have you considered maybe it was nonfiction and it was just HER own experience? We all wish we could do certain things, undo certain mistakes but…we’re human and we make mistakes and aren’t perfect. The experiences we have shape us. As someone else said earlier in this thread…the best way to destroy someone is to destroy their self esteem.
I agree and i never said that this does not happen at all in pakistan but fsomeone making an overly generalized statement and claiming that being a pakistani woman is a curse needs to be shown the other side of the picture as well.
