Re: A Pakistani Girl
I got mad real fast because the accusation was that bad. I know it may not seem like a big deal for a woman, but telling a man whos not pro abuse that he is pro abuse is a big deal.
You wont understand. You’re a woman.
You can tease me for whatever you like and I’d say I’d be a good sport. There are limits though.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
Oh dear 
Why does every article about a negative event which happened to a Pakistani person or involves Pakistani people always become ALL Pakistani people or about Pakistani men in particular?
First and foremost:
However, it does happen to some women and it obviously happened to the author of the blog. She is telling HER story and discussing what HER experience was. She does not state that every single Pakistani girl experiences what she experienced. She is simply discussing what happened to HER. Why does that offend some of the posters on here? Seriously, what exactly are people arguing about?
Re: A Pakistani Girl
whoever thinks this is an exaggeration lives in la-la land. Being a woman in a desi/pakistani community is the biggest curse. I have seen it as well. Its typical to not even congratulate the mother when a girl is born! instead people say ‘agli bar beta hoga inshalla’ instead of saying congrats! this is how ****ed up our society is. the story in the blog is actually alot better than what millions of girls go through everyday in pakistan.
starting from birth, they are typically unwanted. many are left in orphanage as poor parents cannot afford a girl, they only keep reproducing in hopes of having a boy. if she’s lucky enough to be kept by her parents, she is given the leftover food after her brothers and father eat. if she’s raped, she’s killed her own family because the dishonor is too great, if she is caught dating/running away with a guy, she is shot in the head by her brothers as their ghairat doesn’t allow her to live any more. if she rejects a guy, her face is burned off by acid because a man cannot handle rejection well.
as far as middle class and upper class, even those girls have to live in such double standards. the brothers have way more freedom than the girls. pakistani girls have FAR more restrictions than the boys. then once the girls get married, they are expected to serve their inlaws and put up with them regardless of how they treat them. She must obey his parents, serve them, take care of them. Her own parents are no longer as important! nothing worse than being born in a traditional Pakistani home as a female.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
And then there are people who think there is no generalization in the minds of some people here.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
and then there are people who could care less about womens rights and what they deal with, and obviously feel no compassion
Re: A Pakistani Girl
What a great portrayal of “Traditional Pakistani Family”. Talk about exaggeration and falsification.
One girl story blog and all Pakistani ‘traditional’ families are bad. Let’s write a novel on it.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
Talk about people living in la-la land and completely ignoring what actually goes in pakistan. ignoring all the stories about women being mutilated, acid thrown in their face, raping, blackmailing, honor killings, having no say in family planning, being submissive to husbands and inlaws, sexist double standards..
but sadly, some people just want to pretend everything is perfect.
love how some people thing its just ONE story in all of Pakistan! HAHAHA. wow. reality check anyone?
Re: A Pakistani Girl
there you go! So that is what you think about women. Please tell me again why should I even bother to understand what your point is. You should have said this earlier, it would have saved me a lot of typing and arguing with someone who needs a lot of growing up to do.

Accurate description of why this thread derailed.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
Prove it.
Put your money where your mouth is.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
If anyone reads this thread the person will get:
Traditional Families in Pakistan hate or dislike girls, throwing acids on women is common, rape is rampant and is acceptable, blackmailing is norm, honor killing is the daily affair, men are callous and insensitive, saying other child will be a boy does not mean that that family will have one boy and one girl, instead… it will be because "traditional’ Pakistani families hate girls and are sad the girl was born. 
its getting better and better by the posts.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
hahahah I merely said about women what reha said about men, my original bone of contention. Say it all you want about men but if you have to hear it about women than you get an itch? hahahaha
It’s very satisfying when you help me prove my point. Truly it is.
Lagta hai jhatka kuch ziada hi zor ka lag gaya?
I have a lot of growing up to do? LOL. I literally laughed. I was actually wondering when that call was gonna come out. To your credit it came out much later than I expected. Albeit still hilariously ironic coming from you.
Also, werent you out? How’s your acid reflux now?
youre too easy to rope in man. be less predictable.
This always happens on gs. Im led to believe I’m dealing with an adult but that illusion is always shattered.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
It got better as soon as I left. 
bro, you don’t know me and I don’t know you. Stop downplaying our experiences and I will not think you are a manchild. I and my sisters did experience pretty much everything this blog states. When you make light of our terrible experiences, you will hear it. You reap what you sow.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
Awww nice try. I show you evidence and you delete. That’s how you been doing things around here innit Reha? Seems to be the pattern for a while now.
I mean we can’t say anything to mods. If you say something negative, it gets deleted. If it was quoted, the quote is deleted. If we say something bad to mods, we get deleted.
I’ll save it for another day.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
Questions for people:
How does a blog about one woman’s experiences incite such vitriol? The poor woman wrote about what happened to HER. Why is this so offensive to some of the posters on here?
Secondly, where are people getting the idea that the author of the blog stated that this happens in ALL Pakistani families? From what I read, she is only discussing HER experiences and what happened to HER. If this type of thing does not happen in your family, great. No one stated that it does.
Put the torches and pitchforks down. Everyone.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
^ Because she titles it the Pakistani Girl, thereby applying the experience to everyone. Implying most of us suffer like this. When really we don’t. These are mentally ill people in our community creating trouble, and because there is no law and order in Pakistan, they get away with their crimes. Has nothing to do with being Pakistani, has more to do with a dysfunctional law and order system.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
In fact, right now, guys are more at risk in Pakistan than women. Guys are targeted in target killings - young able bodied men. Young men get kidnapped for ransom, and fetch ransom because their families need them. You don’t hear half as much that women are getting kidnapped. Doctors, mostly men, are being targeted. Political leaders - their sons are getting kidnapped.
You could use the above to say that Pakistani society is a man-hating society.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
where did I downplay your or your sisters experiences theorist?
Re: A Pakistani Girl
With this post. Maybe it is the way you wrote it especially the last para.
Re: A Pakistani Girl
No. She doesn’t. She titled it A Pakistani Girl. A as in one girl (her).
