I have never participated in beauty standards that will stress me out. Even in my teens/20s when I was SSS, my needs and comfort levels was what mattered
You’re welcome to like it or gerrout!
As a woman over 20, you have to commit to a minimum of 5 beauty standards you refuse to care about for your own peace of mind. What is a hip dip? Strawberry legs? Stretch marks? Buccal fat? Please go to hell, man.
@MaryRoseMalomo I was in JSS 2 the first time I read that book, it rage baited me a lot, I kept hoping for the "joy" until I turned the final page and was like "what the hell?" That book and Flora Nwapa's Efuru were my introduction to feminism and feminist works
@UsmanAbidemiEsq No woman should be guilt-tripped for deciding to withhold financial support to her husband, because it's not her role in marriage period. She can show love & empathy to him by excelling in her own responsibilities, not taking on his to her own detriment.
@Horla_diyah@deltanmuslimah We can demonstrate compassion as spouses by excelling in our individual responsibilities, Showing empathy does not require sacrificing our most basic God given rights.
Not to waddle into MT roforofo but that woman isn’t wrong
The responsibility for finances of the family, islamically, rests with the man
Y’all like to move goal posts to suit your own interests
Dear MW, his money, as they’re frothing at the mouth to tell you, is NOT your money
Don't misinterpret the point.
Question: Did Islam instruct a man to take on all financial responsibilities?
Answer: Yes, Islam states so.
Question: Is it permissible for me to support my husband financially?
Answer: Yes, you can support him, and remember Umm al-Mu'minin Khadijah bint Khuwaylid RA, who supported the Prophet Muhammad SAW with all her wealth.
Note: As men, we should always pray to Allah to grant us the ability to manage our financial obligations without expecting support from our wives. This is one of the reasons we are considered the heads of the family.
May we never be without wealth. Amin.
