Re: What’s wrong with desi men?!
It’s not on GS for me, it’s when I hear this sort of crap in REAL life that I get sooo annoyed, so don’t worry - you’re not the only one! A week or so ago, I had a conversation with someone and I was trying to explain to her that her argument was illogical. She didn’t really get it and afterwards I felt so damn frustrated that I ended up writing a mini essay just to release that stress. My friends thought I was nuts, but I guess writing things down help me with dealing with difficult people. A large proportion of my family members have the type of mentality that drives you and I nuts, but you just have to learn to filter it out and get on with life.
Don’t bother trying to get men to understand our issues - even the best of them won’t completely understand just because they’re naturally different to us. I think if you perhaps try to change your perspective - tell yourself the sacrifice you go through is for Allah rather than for the sake of men, then it might be easier to cope with.
On a side note - some desi women I’ve met are really strange - the worse their male relatives (sons, husband, brothers etc) treat them, the more they’ll respect and practically worship them. So yeh. The world is messed up!
