The Women of South Asia

The Women of South Asia


The South Asian societies have some of the weirdest rules for women when it comes to social meetings and education. Men and women, both have equal rights. The society, however, is the entire opposite.
Before marriage, boys go out with girls, smoke, lose their virginity, do drugs and what not. Somehow, its all perfectly okay for boys to do that. I mean if they get caught by parents, its no big deal, 'because they're boys'. Girls, on the other hand: oh ho hell nah. See one of these girls doing that and you're likely to hear one of these statements:
  • I disown you
  • You can no longer acquire education
  • you are supposed to be pure and clean, you've thrown dirt over our "reputation"
  • is this what I've raised you like 
and the list goes on...

An Asian husband wants a pure and virgin woman. He however, is the entire opposite. My point here doesn't go to the fact that women should be allowed for sex before marriage, drugs and all that shit. What i am trying to point out here is that just like the women, men should be equally harassed in a society if they perform all those that is prohibited and unacceptable. It should be equally 'a big deal' if they do all that when done by women is a disgrace. 

Married men claim to be really religious, through and through. Forcing their wives and daughters to cover their heads and bodies, to not talk to men unnecessarily and avoid social gathering as 'to many men will be there'. They, on the other hand, go out for blow jobs secretly and stare at random women on the streets. 
When it comes to education, they give their sons the best of the education, no matter how expensive it is. For daughters, the cheapest possible education where there are no male students because in the end, they have to get married and cook anyway. 

Raising a voice for all those unheard, women will rise and there will be equality. Girls have the right to acquire the same education as boys. They have the right to work and they will. Men can change diapers and there is no shame. Men can cook and it is completely normal. Train your sons like you train your daughters. Both are equal, and these social injustices will not be tolerated. Fight for what is your right; die fighting for your needs but never die a slave. Don't stay quiet: use your voice, for every voice matters. 

Feminism is about gender equality, not over empowerment of the women. I see my elders being unfair to their wives and daughters. I raise my voice when i can. i get scolded, hit and tortured but i will not stay quiet. I will raise my children differently and so should you. Saying it again:

Train your sons like you train your daughters

7 signs of un-chill people

7 signs of un-chill people By Muniza Imran Do you see people around you that are having fun and are totally chill? You think that they are free of all problems? Do you think that they don't have any workload? No pressure of life whatsoever? Well, you're definitely wrong, because everyone got problems in life. The difference between you and chill people is that they keep their problems private or hidden. In other words, they keep their matters to themselves. You WILL be confronted with problems but it doesn't mean that you go in a panic mode. Just take a deep breath, calm down and accept the problem as a challenge from life. So there are 7 signs of un-chill people. Check out if you're one of them ;) Number one; they always talk about work. Number two; they are not confident. Number three; they kill themselves by working all day and all night and use up all their energy. Number four; they miss the good things of life are totally not fun. Number fi...

The Benefits of Struggling

As we grow older, we consider getting popular in school rather than focussing on studies. Nerds become the joke of the school and all those who misbehave get all the attention and fame by other students. Smoking and drinking is considered “cool” and students brag about it in school just to show that they are rich and old enough to do all those things and consider it as a source of fame. Being old means maturing. If these kids are going to smoke and drink and then brag about it or post pictures on social media, then this sort of behaviour does not show maturity. The saddest thing is that either the parents are unaware of these things due to lack of knowledge or are encouraging their kids to do so, feeling as if the kids are mature enough (when they are not) or are either saying that they have no control over their kids, they do as they wish. In Pakistan, boys of age ten have been spotted riding bikes with their father sitting behind them. They take their young sons to work with...

Signs You May be Boring Others

Signs You May be Boring Others By Muniza Imran Everyone likes to ramble on and on about their day or even worse, life! Well you may find a really good listener but most people will just be trying to escape. No one likes a complaining granny. So if you want to ramble—if it makes you feel any better, do it alone in an empty room or in front of a mirror in your bathroom. Don't bore the poor innocent human nature! Some people just can't tell when they start to ramble and they go on and on without realizing it! That can be an inescapable trap for the communication partner. You don't want anyone to feel that way about you, do you? Certainly not me. So there are some signs that show your listener is getting bored. You should seriously consider these signs and look for them during a rapport with your communicator. 1. SHIFTING WEIGHT: Notice that a bored listener will start to shift his weight and will also lean on nearby objects such as a chair or a counter....
