Re: Feminists don't kill me now
the dilemma is that women nowadays (eastern society or desi western societies) interpret Islam to a limit where it benefits them the most. they would look like they believe in the very fundamentals of Islam when they talk about how our prophet (pbuh) used to treat his women, or what he said about women's rights. prophet (pbuh) def said as a husband u don't have any right to oppress women , to tell ur wife to cook for you or live with ur parents. but prophet (pbuh) also said husband to a wife is like her virtual (or worldly God) if there was permission to bow your head before anyone except God, I would tell wife to bow her head before husband. the point is either don't go that way , don't quote religion when it benefits you the most (both men and women) or if you need to quote then don't try finding loop holes in it, cuz u can't fool God Almighty. this thread shouldn't ve been posted on this forum in the first place.
Both sexes do this.. I can't understand this new thing of blaming girls when it's clear men also do it (double-standards regarding virginity or past relationships being just one obvious example)..
There are plenty of rights that Muslim women have that the vast vast majority of desi women choose not to exercise (eg the right to divorce your husband if you're no longer physically/sexually attracted to him), when you look at how many sacrifices Pak women have to make in terms of their Islamic rights it's many many many times more than the man have to (living with inlaws, the much stronger emphasis on 'decent' behaviour for females whilst largely ignoring a guy's behaviour).
Islam gives us girls a LOT more rights than some posters on this forum are making out and the OP has shown just one side of the coin, just our culture doesn't accept this and anyone who tries to paint a balanced view or point out the disparity in the way men and women are expected to behave - which is usually cultural rather than Islamic - gets labelled a 'feminazi.'
