Re: Why boys are more IMPORTANT than girls in our culture?
^ I've heard that logic before. That girls can get pregnant and bring dishonor to their families with the slightest carelessness since their reputations are more fragile, bla bla bla bla.
Regardless of the bakwaas that culture likes to cling to....Islam holds both genders equally accountable for their sins.....and intelligent parents realize this. Allah is not going to "let you get away" with things just because you're a boy. And He's not going to let parents "get away" with not fulfilling their obligations.....just because they have a son....or do not have a son. Smart parents understand this.
And they also understand the blessings attached to having and raising a daughter.
For Jaahil people that don't value baby girls......they must not have respect for their own mothers or sisters either. A girl will grow up to be a sister, a mother, and contributing member of society. Smart people also understand that you need women...in order to possibly reproduce men. ** You need BOTH genders**** to reproduce even the preferred gender. **
People can be disgustingly absurd. I personally have always dreamed of having a daughter.
