too much free mixing up is not good. We start treating em like pals and attraction diminishes … on the other hand too much segregation makes kids and youngster unconfident.
There should be healthy amount of segregation so that youngsters remain interested in opposite genders. Sadly societies which practice extreme segregation and free intermingling of sexes both face the increasing problems like homosexuality crimes like sodomy.
Tribal areas of pakistan , Afganistan and conservative areas of Pakistan are the prime example of first case where people cosider seeing a girl’s eyes as extremely haram thing to do , but consider sodomy (molesting young boys ) as part of their culture.
Islam goes for balanced approach as it allows healthy amount of mixing of genders as it allows females to attend masjid for prayers and sermons. Also going to festivals, celebrating religious ocasions like ramazan eid and marraige is also encouraged :k:
Agree to all except last paragraph. In mosques and celebration of eid and all there is no interaction between the males and females. Specialy in Pakistan can a teenager girl and boy just be freinds with the consent of their parents. I doubt it. So seeing opposite sex at different occassions is not really interaction. Hence it is not a balanced approach. Anyway this is besides the point because we are not in religion forum and the topic is different.
Moderation in anything is usually a good idea. There are instances where segregation is good, like gym classes etc. But complete segregation is not good. Code Red, your idea that segregation will promote and retain attraction between the sexes, thats kind of absurd! Men will ALWAYS be attracted to women and women to men (unless of course the person is homosexual). Guys SHOULD treat women as pals because hey, we’re people just like the guys. Those who refuse to meet the eyes of a woman or turn away when there is an unrelated female in the room are basically crippled in most societies. There is no good in being extreme here either way.
Agree.
