To you Western Xalimos, are you doing all the work while the men chill?

A couple of days ago we had family friends come over. They are two guys my age. My brothers and them were in the living room.
My mom, unbeknownst to me, was making malawax in the kitchen (she made a lot) and shaax. I felt guilty about this but if I help her or intervene I felt like it would be xishood for her. Even during ramadan, she was making the food

What do you guys think?
Fam if my hooyo ever asked me to help with things, I help. That gender shit is dumb in this day and age. Just help her next time man.
 
Your hooyo probably gains purpose and satisfaction from doing her housework. So it’s best not to directly help. Rather you should help indirectly e.g. doing the shopping and preparation etc. So it’s easier for her to do daily tasks
 
I'm a male but in our household both genders work, and that's how it should be. If I was a halimo I would not work for the other gender hell to the mf canjeero no.

No GIF


It would not be xishood for your mum if you helped her, both of you guys would benefit and you would get rewarded by Allah. I have no idea how you came to the conclusion it would be embarrassing for your mum if you helped her.
Sorry to derail
Did you use to watch odey shirwaac? He's the only guy I know that use to say that :hemad:

I agree with everything else you said. It's ajar to help out your mother with cooking, cleaning, etc. It's also good to learn for when you move out and live on your own cause hooyo will not be there to help and you shouldn't expect that from her. I believe that everyone in the house should do their fair share of chores.

Hey, I didn't watch odey shirwaac, I don't even know who that is. I probably just heard/read this phrase somewhere, cuz I can't remember coming up with it myself. Can you show me this odey shirwaac, it could be where I saw it. Is it like a show?
 
What difference does that make?

I'll keep it a 100. The energy that you came with made me guess Xalimo and I want to know if my guess is right.

Also y'all are tripping if you think I can't throw it down in the kitchen. Baasto, bariis, malawax, sabayad, maraq, etc. I'm not your typical farax when it comes to the kitchen

Oh wow then maybe the person you heard it from use to watch his videos. But he was a somali comedian that I used to watch as a kid and ur comment made me think of him. You can look him up on YouTube if u put in 'odey shirwaac' and find his videos, they were very funny. He used to always say "hell to the mf canjeero no" so that's where I thought u got it from lol. I'll link one of his videos, you can hear him say the phrase here.

Instead of worrying about the “energy I came with”, you should focus on helping your mom. Seems like appearances are all that matter to you. My comment must have really upset you to inquire about my gender.
Waa islaam feminista ah.
Igu soo celi. @ me next time

I may recognise his voice, it could be him I heard.

It is one thing to advise him to help his mom, but you went after him like it personally affected you. Markaa caadi ma ahid, sida kuwa feminista ah ee aad moodid inay maskaxda wax ka qabaan.

Because I was sensitive to the mother’s perspective that automatically means I’m a feminist? My message was clear and not feminist rhetoric.

He comes off as someone who has been coddled his whole life and needs to hear the cold hard truth. I took it upon myself to tell him. He sounds lazy for not helping his hooyo and worrying about what people will think of him if he were to do that. I imagined if I was that age and had a son behaving like this how sad and disappointed I would feel. Not feminist to have a caring heart.

His parents, especially his mom, should've raised him the way you described. If she didn't want him in nowhere near the kitchen, how was he gonna help or learn?

Now I understand why you stood up for him. Calling people on here feminist is your go-to insult. You’re doing the same thing he did by shifting responsibility for his failures onto his mother. Not really on his mom for not teaching him how to be empathetic to her struggles. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t possess kitchen skills. That’s not the main issue here. Most men care about lessening the burden on their aging parents any way they can. He could simply have his mom not serve him and his grown friends like that. Dude cares more about what people will think. He’s in his 30s. What’s stopping him from trying to better himself in that aspect?

He also used his mother and the Somali culture as a reason for his strange behavior. I believe that’s cold hearted.

I don't care what I look like. But I don't want my mom to feel embarrassed by having a boy cooking with her in the kitchen when all the men are in the living room. I know this is a backwards way of thinking. When I went to the kitchen and saw her making the malawax and shaax, I got the feeling that she wanted me to stay in the living room

You see it all. Now you’re calling women feminists for saying one should help their 50+ hooyo. Caasi waalidayn.

This is what happens when you make misogyny and sexism your bread and butter. Basic decency and respect for even one’s aging/old mother goes out of the window. Everything to do with respect for women is now translated as feminist in the minds of unhinged men. Mind you this is the same man that talks about running around with AA women and cadaans during his college days.

@Kalsoon is probably the least biased and least male bashing female poster on this forum. She routinely tries to have a more fair perspective more so than I if I’m being truthful, yet still your hatred towards women still makes you scream feminist at the least feminist inclined poster. It says a lot about you, truly.

Typical feminista, throwing all of the blame on the Somali guy without taking into account how he was raised and how the average Somali families function.

Let us get real: In traditional Somali households, it is a taboo for men to be in the kitchen, especially when able women in the house are around.

What is also taboo is for young men to move out of the house until they get married. The only exception is if they take a job outside the city where they family live.

So what you have is a grown up son sticking around in the house, where his mom won't let him near the kitchen. Now go ahead and blame him for how traditional households function.

I tell you what: Every feminist out there has mental issues. They can't add reason to their arguments. You can raise your son to whichever way you want, which is perfectly acceptable in your standards, but for goodness sake understand traditional families and how they function. It is one thing you've been preprogrammed in those gender studies courses by those anti-God atheist professors, but give it a rest in your painstaking attempts to impose those "values" to traditional families.

Thank you walaashey. Caadhi ma aho qofkaan. I knew I recognized this person’s mo after he called me that. Was his user name rorig(o) or something before ?

If I’m such a feminist, go ahead and stop following me on here. Thank you very much.
