Re: Marital Rape…
[quote=““diwana””]
Yes, females have to remain clean, in Islam keeping yourself clean is even half your religion. Showering, remaining clean is logical . . . Same goes for males.
I never heard a mullah say that a husband should take care of himself too though and remain clean and handsome for his wife. My ex used to have a horrible smell from his mouth for example and then he wondered why I hated kissing. If I would want to kiss, I’d make sure I wouldn’t have a horrible smell and otherwise I would never demand kisses. Yet, he did. And he’s not the onle male who behaved like that. I’ve heard these kinds of experiences from other females as well. Apparently there are numerous males who have a horrible smell and don’t care about that. That is just one example from many males who don’t care how horrible they look or smell yet demand their wives should still perfect.
Another example, they want their wives to be as thin as they were before childbirth, I became chubby after giving birth and remained so for a while. I even received remarks on that. Yet, he was the one who wanted children. His own sister and mother were very fat in those years. Looking back at pictures sometimes, I realise I was the thinnest from all of us. Again, many other females have told me the same kinds of experiences. One Dutch friend even had a very fat husband who still made nasty remarks to her when she became fat too. I was never fat during my marriage, looking back at pictures, I actually looked great even when chubby and I lost that weight quickly back then. People often even thought I was much younger than I really was. I took care of myself. Even that was used against me.
The name my inlaws gave me was negative because I took care of my weight, I took care of what I ate, I took care of my hair, I washed often, I took care of everything, to them it was ‘oh, look how she takes care of her body, her health, why is she doing that? is looks all for her?’ and my ex hated it too. Before marriage I used to run and excersice, which is why I was in excellent shape and healthy. Ater marriage, nothing was allowed.
So, taking care of your body is used against you, less taking care of your body is used against you too, not taking care of your body is used against you too.
The husband of another friend of mine is very sweet. She is fat, she always was, even when he married her. She once told me he’s always telling her he loves her as she is. Yet she still tries to loose weight. There are males and females who do love chubby or fat people.
And for those who say females never attack, yes they do. I’ve read news articles of how some females are just as nasty as males. In the Netherlands they even opened a safe house for males who are being mistreated by females. It’s not exactly the same as what males do to females, but it’s still abuse. Some males were beaten too.
And rape even is done by females, because I read in the news how Belgian nuns were being questioned now about abusing boys! So yes, some females are just as horrible as certain males. It does happen both ways. I even had an internet friend who told me his ex-wive abused and used him. Now he has a better life, alhamdulilah.
And still, most of the horrible things are still done by males. It’s the society which allows them many things and then they become worse. I’ve seen that, literally. Males do something, everyone finds excuses, including their mothers and sisters, then they become more and more worse because hey, they have the power and are allowed everything. That is their way of thinking.
I will never completely understand them for that. I have been in the position of being able to be racist, I refused, I have been in the position of doing nasty things, I didn’t. I have had horrible life experiences, yet I wasn’t horrible to others.
People always make excuses when people abuse others, they say things like ‘oh, he or she was raised that way’ or ‘oh, he or she was abused himself or herself’, but I don’t buy that. I have had horrible experiences yet I didn’t harm other innocent people. Even if someone is telling certain males their nasty behaviour is allright, they should still use their own head and think about their actions, think about how cruel they can be and stop doing all that.
