Re: How do you gals feel about this?
AK, you just wanted to be roasted, what were you thinking posting this stuff here …lolz. Although we have picked bone in the past but I hope that doesn’t bias your reaction to my response here. I am making an honest attempt to make you realize why they felt/reacted that way, so hope you take it in positive spirit.
Well you got ur answers speaking loud and clear, though it may not have convinced you.
One thing clearly you insulted them indirectly. By saying that girls here are too mod, you implied all the Paki gals raised and educated here. It actually goes to express a view that all the Paki gals raised/educated here are incapable of becoming good wives (brains without wombs, lolz). So guys raised here go to PK to get married with desi gals coz gals in the West are too corrupt and incapable of being good wives. Well, so are their sisters then!!! Wake up mommies!!! Why wud even sharif Paki want to marry them corrupt gals (unless for a green card) …. But bottom line is they are no good, because they have been educated here, have a mind of their own, have opinions and they are not afraid to speak their minds.
Let’s turn the situation around: Suppose you were told by one of those Paki gal said, oh my parents want me to go to Pk to marry a desi guy from there. I don’t want to do that, since I think those desi guys are way too conservative (implying indirectly them as orthodox, power/control freak and dumb or may be “d” without brains lolz). Just think for a while, what wud have been ur reaction?? You wud have said, wait a second, not all are control freak, there are educated decent guys in PK too. OR if she had said, I don’t want to marry any Paki guy, they are just too conservative and control freak and one cannot have a decent intelligent conversation with them, for they are just not my level, u know. what wud you say?
What wud have been a smarter way of saying what you said without having incurred their wrath? You should have said, I want to go back to Pk to marry bcoz girls here are too mod for me. I cannot handle them smart, educated girls. I feel threatened. Voillah, there you go! You wud have earned their sympathies than anger. They would have said, oh that’s okay. Lot of men feel insecure by educated, smart and strong women, you are not the only one. Don’t worry, we know someone so and so and so from Lachi or Cheechu ki Malliyan and we can find you a simple submissive gal that You can handle (Ye aur baat keh kal ko taray nazar aa jayen ge din mein lolz)! You wud have earned all their sypathies and support, no problem there brother!
The fact is there are educated, decent Paki men who don’t feel threatened by educated and outspoken women and know that educated women raise the family intelligently. I have known Pk girls born/raised here who think that a woman should obey her husband since it’s expected of her in Islam. Just beacuse they are too confident and knowledgeable does not mean they cannot adjust and accommodate. I find Pk gals here much more knowledgeable about Islam, than those back home. I have heard way too many stories of how gals are behaving back home, that I’m too scared to even think of raising my children in PK. If I had children, I wud much rather have them educated, raised and married here than going back hoping to find a submissive one! In the end it boils down to the fact that a man or woman should marry someone who holds Islamic knowledge and values dear to their heart so that they can raise Muslim Children of good character.
May Allah (SWT) guide us all to the straight path, ameen!
