Yes yes yes! Finally a voice of reason.
I agree with every point you’ve made. Somali men are terrible and the women enable them, just look at the response of @Zainab_7 “we need to uplift our men” despite the numerous privileges the men enjoy in the Somali community. Somali men are the men Somali women deserve because they enable them, defend them and even encourage their nonsense behind the scenes.
Somali men do enjoy privileges, the older generation did abuse it for sure, but I’m more than confident that the next generation will turn out much better. I for one am going to be much harder on the boys and spoil my daughters.
Honestly, what were you expecting from a first-generation immigrant group fleeing from a civil war coming to the west? These problems are not unique to us, we’ll turn out better (we’re getting there as we speak) in due time.
