Re: Why are Pakistani men such begerat?
In your first post you said that it’s us women who put up with it. And you’re correct in that statement. In general women are taught to sit back and take it, because it’s an “izzat ka masla”. Then you go talking about how you and someone you personally know went through different forms of abuse. I can’t blame you for also developing your views based on your experiences. After all, this is how we build ourselves as persons. But, what have YOU done in order to fight this abusive behavior? Have you gone and talked to other women about how they should empower themselves? Have you posted in various other forums about your experiences and how you decided to fight back and end an engagement? Or have you instead decided to take things out of context of another poster and reiterate your personal views and call them “statistical” instead of doing something positive?
You said it in your second post, and I said it before as well, it’s a global problem. Because it’s a global problem, don’t label it as a problem among the people of only 1 nation. There are plenty of public examples about abuse against women and the extent to which it can go, as there are examples of abuse that men go at the hands of women. Don’t generalize. Don’t say that it’s a problem among 95% of Pakistanis. Don’t insult your own intelligence by making such broad statements.
