The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

If you could select like 5 adjectives to describe the Pakistani woman of today, what would they be?

Is "full of it" an adjective?

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

She said Pakistani woman, not women in general. You have to be more specific than "full of it".

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

  • She lives in a pind but speaks English with a British+American+Canadian+Swedish accent, and has trouble with urdu.
  • She was born in jeans designed by Baby Phat.
  • She doesn't know or care to know who the founding fathers of Pakistan were.
  • She needs a maid for pretty much all personal tasks.

More later.

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

Thinks she is aiswariya rai...but isn't.

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

chain smoker with terrible fashion sense

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

Are we talking about Pakistani women over here?

Cause from where I'm at, I see a very different version of her.

1) Oppressed

Can't think of more right now.

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

Has an MBA in English language and literature but tawks lyk dissssssssssssssss

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

^ Don't think you can get an MBA in English language and literature.
MBA=Masters of Business Administration

Re: The “Mahdern” Pakistani Woman

:rotfl: Sara, are you a mahdern Pakistani woman then?

Re: The “Mahdern” Pakistani Woman

^ I think she is being sarcastic about the knowledge factor!!! NOT MBA in English for real..

Re: The “Mahdern” Pakistani Woman

:rotfl: you caught me.

I actually DO know people who have MBA and MA in english/lit and still sound like they’ve never uttered a word of english in their life.

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

^ Haha, not really.
Everyone didn't grow up where up grew up princess, hence everyone doesn't have an accent like your's.
Though you'd have the right to question their MA in English if they used bad grammar while writing.
Speaking a language fluently and with a native accent isn't something they teach you in your MA.

Re: The “Mahdern” Pakistani Woman

in a constant struggle to show themselves off as liberal and independent

on the other hand, too much negativity in this thread. not ALL pakistani women are designer lawn and pasted labels individuals. Some are generally hardworking and well educated

pretty definitely :hehe: and oh I think pakistani women have a great fashion sense (not biased here) obviously because all the latest trends and clothes are easily accessible to them :smiley:

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

Saeed thats the only thing I was referring to-the grammar and way of writing, NOT the accent of a person.
So yes I do question the quality of education where if you claim to have a higher degree you still write lyk dixxxx

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

^ I apologize then, my bad for being condescending.
The education system over here does need fixing, there's no disagreeing with that. The language should be taught properly, because your understanding of all other subject in school depends on that very language.

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

No problem I see how my comment may have been taken that way. From my understanding of it, they operate on the "ratta" system (I hope that's the right word)..they only study and memorize but don't put it to practical use.

Re: The "Mahdern" Pakistani Woman

And FWIW it's not just Pakistan...I've seen some awful writing/grammar from people who grew up here in the US...
