Youre forcing your own narrative onto a choice you simply don’t agree with. You are treating one choice as the opposite of independence and that’s literally the narrow definition I was talking about. now pls retire this tired take and let the story unfold. SIGHHH
you just keep proving my point lol zaryab is a woman making her own choices you just don’t like those bc they don’t fit your definition of independence and the whole knight in shining armor thing is literally your own projection onto a story you clearly dont want to understand
Okay, whay is the story showing about "what happens...situations"? That we should wait for a knight in shining armor Abu Bakar to come forth and get us out of our predicament? That we should jump into another marriage before resolving our previous issues? That some Abu Bakar-
not you calling me thick skulled after recycling the exact point I already made and padding it with an entire essay and thinking you ate lmao 😭 I already broke it down in baby terms and you still managed to miss it. stop embarrassing yourself and get out of my acc airhead
What a lame ass self drag comeback lol. The point was right there, explained in baby words it's just you have a thick skull with comprehension skills being in gutter to process it. Ofcourse lazy writing is peak literature to you 🥰
please spare me the empty takes you are all stuck on the same phase and refusing to see anything beyond it. maybe let the story actually finish before deciding what it means SMH
are women only allowed to be independent if they build a career and reject marriage? rich, educated women are still allowed to have emotions, fall in love, make questionable choices and change their minds. Youre all viewing the story through one narrow feminist lens
Would agree to it, partly. Yes, the constraints exist, but so do the patterns. Not every woman would have the luxury of living an independent life, but Zaryab does? It's not just about depicting the realities, I feel. It's deliberately*
and missing the actual point. Independence doesn’t have just one definition and the story is literally showing what happens when someone finds themselves in these situations and how they navigates them.
whole ass essay full of recycled words and no actual point 😭 bro your own media literacy is fighting for its life but stay happy tho in your own delusional world
Questioning lazy writing isn't "reductive" reading not questioning it is. Let's stop purposely missing the point? Autonomy either exists or it doesn't. There's no preferred version. Autonomy for fls to have NARRATIVE AGENCY, doesn't matter even if they the most regressive+
she write about the reality her characters live in not your ideal feminist fantasy. you can dislike her writing without pretending your interpretation is the only valid one. if you hate it that much dont read her books, dont watch her shows and breathe and thats ok 🥰
you’re treating the absence of your preferred version of female autonomy as proof that a writer doesnt believe in female autonomy and thats such a reductive way to read fiction youre confusing showing something with supporting it. a writer can show women dealing with strict
these aren’t unwarranted criticisms though? she’s a very boundaries-driven writer and as a result often lends herself to misogynist narratives because she’s not willing to ask what a society not driven by religious values would look like
and reducing the lived realities of women to 'they just need to be independent' is ironically far more detached from reality. not every woman has the social freedom to live by your preferred liberal ideal and fiction doesn’t have to pretend otherwise
