Strong Women..

nae tou… :phatti:

Ditto what I said to Namaan. Khamoshi is not a singular sign of strength.

A strong woman is one that exhibits sab'r. Patience and self-sacrifice shows her generosity of spirit, lekin uskey saat, joh haq pe khara hona jaanti ho.

On a serious note:

Kashmala Taariq is one woman that comes to my mind… I saw her on ARY one day and I was completely blown away by how intellectual she was, how confident, how polite, how very intelligent and smart! … and bootiful ofcourse :wub:

Watch this video… the fat lady talks so much rubbish about Kashmala Tariq, uses words like “heera mandi” and all that… but Kashmala Taariq doesn’t loose it.. she is so decent!

well that is called controlling emotions…
i likes..i likes..

squeaky wheels may get the grease but no one likes them

hmmm....interesting conclusion.....
wouldn't you say that Pakistani girls should run from such boys as they will then take all the ghussas at ammi-jaan out on biwi jaan?

Re: Strong Women..

a strong women is when who doesnt get over run by emotions...
believes in herself and doesnt totally depend on men in her life...she shud be independent enuff to support herself..
and yes to be able to decide between the right and the wrong without scumming to pressures of society.

I'll admit a blonde moment - main nahin samjhi aap kya keh na cha rahain hai?

Maybe the guy is a real submissive guy so he is not even ghussa at his ammi jan. BTW, submissive does not mean he is not a strong person. In fact, I think that submission is a strength (if you know when and where to submit).

cheekhnay chillaanay, shor machaanay wali aurtain will get what they are asking for, but they may lose the respect or love or both co,ing to them.

Re: Strong Women..

I think a strong woman is one who can stand up for herself and not take any crap from anyone, while respecting others.... and does NOT play the role of a martyr... like that stupid drama, "meri zaat zarra" whatever.... even if your loved ones/family gives up on you and don't believe you or support you in tough times, you HAVE to stand up for yourself and never ever give up..... you cannot just stop living and wait for Allah miyaan to get you justice...... fight to get justice yourself and face the world .... this proves that you're a strong person, may it be a man or a woman.

so then the next question goes…
how many of those men will “submit” to the wife in the same way that they would “submit” to ammi-jaan? :faizy:

Re: Strong Women..

integrity
self respect
self confident

The very interesting point in case is: These women are acting quite masculine, despite all three being very intelligent. I agree, initally, with the yellow-lady - before she grated on my nerves. The one who is sitting with so much "respect", appears to be relatively cheap.. who talks with their hands and who yells, who giggles when someone calls them a prostitute?

I think the way they are talking is conditioning, i doubt that respectful, docile women would be able to get ahead in Pakistani politics.

I agree. But to clarify my earlier comment, merely being "khamosh" in all instances of adveristy is not a sign of strength. It offends me to see a woman playing the "I am misqeen" card and then doing the whole "woe is me" bit.

Sab'r means knowing when to be quiet, but also when to speak out and stand up for herself and her family.

But, like most other issues, each person has their own persective - there is no universal right answer.

Re: Strong Women..

^I agree with Sehrysh here, I hate it when woman play the role of "martyr"

I am in more submission to my wife than my ammi. :hehe:

I agree. I agree. (see how khamosh I am, kam’go is my last name)

You in the process of becoming one, your self.

:phati:

Its phenomenal to observe.

to point A – you are a rare case.

to point B – I will ensure that your nick is changed to kam’go now that everyone knows what the K stands for.

Re: Strong Women..

and why is expressing emotions necessarily bad?

lets stop associating emotions with women only.

men are SO frustrated because culture does not allow them to express due to their gender roles.

Re: Strong Women..

I know I'm not a strong one.
