Imagine how misogynistic you must be to feel emasculated because a Sheikh tells you to treat your wife well.
@Omar del Sur you're a revert who is originally from a Western background, hence I might be extreme in labelling you a misogynist. It might simply mean you lack the ability to look at context.
Mufti Menk is from a South Asian background. Misogyny and downright oppression of women is normalised there and tbh in many of our own Eastern backgrounds. Stealing women's inheritance, forcing women to live with in-laws, making them cook and clean for them until dusk to dawn, acid attacks, honor killing ect is common. You're simply looking at the West where women are emancipated. Many of the brothers who talk the way you do are also looking at it from a Western redpill perspective as well. In the West, there is this huge talk of men being stripped or emasculated, it couldn't be further from the truth in Muslim Eastern societies. The Ummah is plagued with women who can't even get their Islamic rights and domestic violence and a Sheikh from such a community who says 'hey, lets treat them better' is an issue? Wallahi the lack of haqq is clear to see. But Allah is our witness.
One of the last sermons of the Prophet s.a.w was about treating women well. We reminded the Muslims about women under their care. The mistreatment of women has always been an issue and tbh many of you brothers are going to be questioned about your vile treatment and attitude towards 50% of Allah's creation.
