Qoyans aka somali women

[Odious Delirium]

But that is not a pick me, at least not according to the definition. Like it seems ppl are giving the term pick me many meanings but it really means a girl or woman that has internalized misogyny and shows it by putting other girls down

Ok you said you used to be like that what's an example you can give of how you were a pick me and are there women around you who are still pick mes?

 

[KinsiHilaac]

You’re acting as if the term ‘pick me’ has a standard definition. Idk if you use social media or live under a rock, but I’ve seen it being used in different contexts apart from girls seeking validation from men.

it does have a standard meaning tho idk why you´re out here calling anything humiliating you see "Pick me"

Didnt say anything humilating is a pick me but okay.

So at times when i used to be a pick me i was sort of. Okay, there is something called feminist awakening, and that´s when you suddenly gain awareness of the sexist social biases around you, it could be a simple thing like someone calling a 27 year old woman for a ´girl``which really is socially acceptable, and once youre in your pick me phase you do not notice this
It´s normal to you. But this contributes to the infantilization of women in the long run

But once you decide to carefully sit back and dissect these moments and linguistics, you realize, damn. There is so much hidden sexism around the world, which most dont notice, because that´s the only way theyve been taught to be since childhood

Examples of hidden sexism which I thought were okay are:

***Women not having much media presence because of the notion that what a woman says more likely is just nagging or too emotional , which results in women´s words not being taken seriously

***The act of calling women temptresses and making them feel guilty of something they cant control and in a bad case scenario justifying assaults based on this assumption that women are temptresses

***The notion that women are naturally more soft and nurturing and a man is agressive and combative, which in the long run leads to women being in an emotionally vulnerable position under the men and more women being harmed by men.

In all practicality this happens because the boy gets socially conditioned to be violent from childhood by being gifted weapons, guns and racing cars, which teaches him hostility, competition and materialism from the start while the girl gets a doll and a kitchen, which teaches her the act of service pretty fast and basically preparing her for what will be her " role" as a woman. This in turn creates an unequal power dynamic between women and men in a relationship where the woman continously walks on egg shells to not trigger any agressiveness and where her needs are second to her man´s,

They’re not so good to meet .
They’re just painful to converse with cuz idk what goes on in a woman’s mind for her to dislike and put down the very thing she is .

But I think most women have been pick me’s. We just start getting educated because as you know this world is very eager to keep women under men at all times wether it be as cultural traditions or religions .

Any women who behaves like a pick-me has sever issues with her self-esteem. Most women haven’t been like that. It’s plausible that a certain percentage carry themselves in that way though.

It’s insulting to say most women have gone through that. Secure and self-assured women don’t need to do that nor do they see the benefit of it. No one likes a pick-me.

Internalized misogyny??? Isn't misogyny supposed to disadvantage women? Does this mean a women unconsciously disadvantages herself? Is this thought stemming from a black and white world view where you either are a feminist of a misogynist with nothing in between?

I know what a Pick me is and I find them disgusting as a guy because there basically seeking validation from every guy in the room I would prefer a woman was a misandist to a pick me lol

But yeah what's your experience with pick mes?

Explains why a lot of pick me women I see are either unmarried or bad relationships. I suppose humans are naturally repelled by low self-esteem and desperation.

It's just disgusting because any form of validation is good enough to them from any guy which is probably why there in bad relationships due to no standards or they can't hold one because they can't be trusted. They tend to be overly familiar, friendly and flirty with random guys. No guy wants his wife acting that way. When the average guy sees she doesn't respect herself he will either walk away if he's a good guy or take advantage. I don't wanna be with someone who lacks self respect because eventually that will reflect on me and I can't see myself long term having to deal with an individual who is that way.

On the other hand a misandrist doesn't like men if I have some how won her over then I'm a rare exception when it comes to her rules with men making her a normal women who hates other guys meaning she isnt giving random guys the time of her day and she has standards. So I would 100% prefer that to a pick me.

 

[Qeelbax]

a blm Halimo is not a pick me Halimo though . Seeking validation from a community (black) in this context and seeking validation from men to put down other women are 2 different things

Pick me doesn’t have one single definition. They are all pick mes.

 

[Qeelbax]

Nah I’m good honestly. Idk how a blm supporting Halimo relates to a pick me girl who puts other women down for the sake of men but imma keep it pushing lest you start exploding

You must be one because anyone who’s come across those types knows @Javelin is right.

Pick me: Girls who understand that a family & relationships are a fundamental part of life and thus know what men want, aren’t defiant towards their fitrah and worried about ostracised from other girls. A genuine pick-me is feminine, traditional and has all the traits that will not just get her “picked” but make sure she is held onto.

Women hate going against the grain, if today the general consensus was that women were housewives and were repulsed by feminism - women wouldn’t even utter any feministic rhetoric. I respect a pick-me far more because it shows she has some level of independent thought, her opinions isn’t simply follow the narrative, she is sticking her head above the parapet. In this era of independent women, isn’t it ironic that most women have the exact same talking points regarding men (men are trash, im a boss babe, never rely on a man, etc).

That’s the issue with Pick-me’s. They focus more on what men want, rather than what benefits them. Btw, there is nothing wrong with prioritizing family and marriage. That’s commendable.

Lol, comments like this only come about if you have a one dimensional view of women. It’s insulting to say the least and juvenile.

You’re from a nation of high widowhood, separations and divorce rates, even back home when the women are indeed conservative and dependent on men, yet you have issues with women having any sorts of independence. Any woman that has issues with female independence would indeed be a low IQ pick me as not having any sort of independence will be detrimental. It doesn’t benefit women. It makes sense as to why a man will have issues with it as dependence ensures that the wife stays, even if abused or mistreated. It allows things to be in the favor of the man indefinitely. So please explain to me, as to why as a woman should I be in favor of being fully dependent on a human who could easily die, talaq me, become disabled and the list goes on? We all know that alimony is haram and inheritance for wives is tiny. When such a scenario occurs are you going to fund me? What are you doing now for the women back home who are forced to sell tomatoes on the roadsides?

That is my issue with men like you. Instead of being honest, you want to package your male centric nonsense that only really benefits men as something that benefits women when it doesn’t. Look around you for once and actually engage with the world.

Ignore him, he's a straight up misogynist. He said that the downfall of society was giving women education and rights. You can't reason with those types.

Do we agree that the Qur’an states: Men are Qawaam over women in Surah Nisa? Qawaam being translated to as provider, protector, maintainer, guardian. You mention infantilisation, but why is there this level of protection & provision for someone so independent? Clearly indicating dependence is the state of husband-wife.

Do we agree that the Qur’an states: Men are Qawaam over women in Surah Nisa? Qawaam being translated to as provider, protector, maintainer, guardian.

being a protector or maintainer doesn’t mean a woman cannot be financially independent. If that was the case women wouldn’t be allowed to inherit or work. Women having financial freedom isn’t haram and Islam has always allowed women to have access to her wealth and deal with it as she feels fit.

You mention infantilisation, but why is there this level of protection & provision for someone so independent? Clearly indicating dependence is the state of husband-wife.

I didn’t mention infantilization and women aren’t to be treated like children. They are judged by Allah as adults as we know that the ruling for children is different to that of Adults. Example, once a woman is Rashida she has full authority over her wealth, she’ll be held independently accountable for her sins. Also, as is the nature of misogynists, you’ll infantilize women when it suits you but hold women to a higher standard than that of man when it also suits you. Men like you have 0 consistency. I’m fact, you expect women to have more self control than that of men in terms of behavior.

With regards to protection and provision, because men are physically stronger than women and are the leaders of their family. If the wife is expected to give birth, breastfeed and all of the physical hardships of womanhood, it is the mercy of Allah that on top of that they’re not forced to provide for a man. What does a man go through?

Also, this dependence women have is clearly limited and goes out the window, upon many occasions such as divorce, death and the list goes on. Women have to tie their camel, because in those circumstances, you’d expect a woman to be independent. If she expected alimony, you’d call her a leach and tell her to get a job, If she expected a higher inheritance for being his wife like the West, you’d call her a leach and tell her to get a job and the list goes on. You have no issues with female independence, it’s only when it doesn’t benefit you do you complain. Or maybe you’re a xaasid who believe that women should be condemned to a life of poverty when their husbands are no longer In the picture?
