…Sufis weren’t your average ‘desi’ men, that’s why.

You always get heightened form of romanticism in literary. One of the purposes of creative literature is to create an idealised world, characters and situations you don’t see in your normal surrounding. If you read Shakespeare, you’d would think perhaps people in Elizabethan era worshipped women.
The creative writers are not supposed to think like everyday people and follow the cultural norms, they convey their own desired form of perfection through words. The beauty they see is a product of their imagination?

disagree with bolded part as that is not the case with sufism in subcontinent.
Sufis believe in women’s inferiority, physically and spiritually. Metaphor of weak character in their poetry is woman, in front of a man. Similarly they refer to themselves as women and their murshid as a man. Also they do not relegate the desi culture of oppressing women.
