Re: What is an “average Pakistani girl”?
Ashy i am agreed to you but not fully agreed because you are relying on the information you get from your family only. How many Pakistani families have you met in last decade or so. i think NONE because you have yet to visit Pakistan to meet pure Pakistani AVERAGE girls. Being an AVERAGE Pakistani girl (born and bred in Pakistan), I should tell you what is an AVERAGE PAKISTANI GIRL. i have all the liberty in the world. Girls in my family go out for work and have achieved their aims. My father and other male relative are very broadminded who has given us independence, trust and above all confidence. If i want to study abroad, i have my fathers permission. And no i don’t belong to any upper class family. I belong to Middle class family. Alhamdulillah Girls can chose their own choice of man if they want to. Parents don’t force us to marry any Tom Dick and Harry because our family members know our rights and respect that. And its not only my family, you will find that majority of families are OK with working girls. In fact now guys want a girl who can move with him in society with whom he can enjoy his life. People who don’t live here and visit Pakistan once a year don’t know how much Pakistan has changed. As i said before girls are more aware of their rights. And no we are not impressed with western culture, we are just more independent now. I have seen guys and families who love more their daughters and willing to have daughters rather than son seriously.
Good for you and your family but I still think it’s not as common. We comment on what we observe and live through…I know there are girls who have your kind of life but I also don’t believe that it’s everywhere.
**Just because it doesn’t happen in your family doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
