Skeletons in the Closet

ma

You list a lot of examples as to why parents should be stricter with daughters-- pregnancy, rape, etc.

However, do you fail to remember that it takes TWO people to create a baby? It requires the perpetrator (most often a man) to COMMIT the crime of rape against the woman? Why do you ignore the OTHER half of these scenarios and focus on the woman? It's more ok for a guy to go out and drink, and maybe get a girl pregnant or commit a rape, than it is for a girl to be a victim of rape or to become pregnant? What sort of rationale is this?

And I have never heard a feminist say anything about complaining to God as to why women go through pregnancy and men don't. That is incredibly absurd. Please stop your insults against feminists, for we only reflect Islamic values, and those values held standard as basic human rights.

There are way many more feminists in this place then when I used to post here a long time ago. Dammm, gentlemen, what the heck have you guys done to these girls while I was gone?

Or everyone's agitated from fasting.

Re: Skeletons in the Closet

Yeah its ok for men to have skeletons in the closets not only that but they are even allowed to have Zombies there as well. Islam is a culture which emphasizes male dominance but to a degree but people have misinterpreted that. They think because Man is superior to woman thus woman must not have any rights, which is not true because same premarital laws that apply on women apply on men as well. But through Islamic perspective it is not allowed to have anything in your closet it is suppose to be sparkling clean.

I didn't think it would be possible to contradict oneself within one paragraph, but you managed to do it ghettofabulicious aka mcpendo.

Re: Skeletons in the Closet

PCG u r equally confused in ur real lifeee.. :chai:

Nice arguments in favor of men and women, but PCG's question was pretty simple and it needed simpler answers, like in Yes' or No.

I think both men and women would agree that --------YES------. It is indeed more acceptable for men to have skeletons in their closet than women, which is not fair as for most of the other things where gender inequality is rampant, but hardly brought up.

To rationalize, why men have this more acceptibility, is hard to justify, even for the most staunch male chauvinists.

Both :) ... U can add more to the list.

Dafa!

It's ridiculous to say a Muslim man can get away with stuff like sleeping around cos the consequences aren't as bad /he won't get pregnant. It's like saying it's ok to go out and steal a car as long as u don't get caught. The consequences should not determine whether the behaviour is right or wrong, that is why so many of these men have distorted views on morality.

MehnazQ made some really good points. Personally I blame the parents (esp the mothers) for letting them believe they can get away with anything cos they're rarely (if ever) confronted about this sort of stuff. A lot of them are treated like little princes growing up. I remember a few yrs back at a doctors reception a load of our parents friends sons getting blind drunk in the hotel bar and everyone thought it was hilarious, can u imagine what would have happened if that had been their daughters..

Re: Skeletons in the Closet

desi guys get away with most everything, haven't you gotten that by now?

Yes , unfortunately it is .... Shouldn't be like this .. but thats the way it goes in our culture and society .

To the contrary , I would say , women don't get a fair chance of going through these skeletons experiments in our society .

And those who do are no good/worse than their male counterparts

Re: Skeletons in the Closet

^ Women from rich families might have some skeletons hidden.

Re: Skeletons in the Closet

Skeletons aren’t all sexy you know. For example, I would hate for anyone to know that I watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch when I am under the weather :hmmm:

Im sure thats a skeleton of epic proportions!

Its not the size of the skeleton that counts :)

yes!!!!
