@wexler47@pensandpoison Tolstoy actually received criticism for portraying women in War and Peace as naive and subservient, whereas women in high society (namely princesses) were known to be very educated, talented, and powerful. His portrayal of women was said to be miserable and unrealistic.
@trader1sz You don't get it. Men don't want the responsibility of providing for more than one, and less so being responsible for so many children. They designed the one spouse + mistress rule for comfort. Women are not the issue here, contrary to common belief.
@SharksAreAbl3@beingmahrukh@Halima_Limi Well, religion is not going to be enforced as long as the dead beats are at the helm. I know your heart's at the right place, but it's useless without action. So good luck with that.
@SharksAreAbl3@beingmahrukh@Halima_Limi And this proves my point that postponing everything to the day of judgement is a joke. Either enforce the laws and get rid of the dead beats starting with the imams, or accept that women too want to postpone things and do what they want in this life.
@SharksAreAbl3@beingmahrukh@Halima_Limi You don't know where i get this but some do? lol. Dude there are videos circulating everywhere of the things they say, some even getting to the point of calling women "slaves" to their husbands. A simple search will answer all your questions.
@SharksAreAbl3@beingmahrukh@Halima_Limi Okay, so you can accept that muslim women won't be applying the religion same way you don't. You should be okay with this, and everybody's happy. What's the problem then?
@SharksAreAbl3@beingmahrukh@Halima_Limi Imama on the khutba are busy bashing women. They will never speak on these matters, nor or the verbal and sexual harassment that takes place in all muslim streets (gulf and otherwise). Like you, they too relegate these things to the day of judgement. So good luck with that.
@SharksAreAbl3@beingmahrukh@Halima_Limi Also, if we do what we want then God decides on the day of judgement, then that goes both ways. Women can marry from outside the faith (which isn't explicitly prohibited, btw), and we'll all meet in the day of judgement. Why does that logic only apply to you and not to women?
@SharksAreAbl3@beingmahrukh@Halima_Limi "Laws inherited from colonial era" means muslim countries don't apply muslim laws, period. Women are left with islamic expectations without islamic protections and that makes the case for dead beat men to multiply. Why would a muslim man be decent at all then? I wouldn't be.
