I literally do not understand this. We do not have to work or have to take care of other peoples children or do emotional labour for the whole family. It's crazy how the roles have reversed and Somali women/girls are expected to wear the pants in the house and do all this work meanwhile the men are coddled. Wallahi I'm genuinely concerned cause I've had arguments with older Somali relatives about this and they are telling me things like "you just can't rely on a man today" or " white women are working and having kids at the same time." However, we are not white people, we have our own culture/religion that says the financial responsibilities are on the fathers/husbands to provide. I don't even blame a lot of women that have internalized this idea of being a super individual that has to suffer in the name of feminism. I'm not even anti-feminism. I just criticize feminism and am aware of how it's low-key harming the Somali community (can't believe I am actually saying this). You are even coming across some Somali men wanting to split bills with their wives or saying they wouldn't buy clothes or a nice purse for them because they don't have to or it's unnecessary. Like whatttt I thought men would love to spoil a woman that they love and care about and not expect her to pull out her own debit card at the register. I sound like I'm venting right now, but I'm so over this shit. I am just so tired of having to go outside and work full-time and being pressured to go do my masters when I want to bake and engage in fulfilling hobbies and find a part-time/casual job.
Lol go tru my thread.
 
Just look for a real man. Make sure you do the small stuff that he likes and make space for him so he can feel loved and wanted in your life.
Yes that's what I prefer to do. Like make the home environment good for the both of us and welcoming. I'm prepared to get called a pickme for this post lool

I think it’s better for women to be busy. Pampered housewives are usually bored asf which fucks with their brain. Meanwhile exhausted naag nools are always the happiest wives. We’re doing these women a great favor by making them work but xalimos on sspot don’t understand.

Based :pachah1:

Females on here believe that traditional values are to be lazing around, not working.

Little did they know that Nomadic women used to make homes, and the farmer's wives were helping them in their fields.

50/50 > all
 
That's the issue tho there aren't a lot of men with this mentality and I am 100% aware of how expensive it is living in the west. The cost of living is high, but still I believe a man should strive and work to get by, so that his partner can stay at home if she wants. I'm not against women working. I'm upset at how there is this mindset now where women are being shamed if they choose not to work and go hustle outside the house. I want to welcome my man home when he gets back from work, not go do an 8 hour shift and be stressed and miserable and have to cook and do the housework on top of that. And yes I am aware there aren't as many Somali men or enough of them to accommodate sisters that want this lifestyle, but I have 2% hope left in me. If I found a good muslim brother cause we are down bad in 2021, I will marry him inshallah even if he isn't Somali. Thanks for responding without trolling!


There are many, I believe, but most probably aren't Somali.
Not because Somali brothers are bad, but because most Muslims may not be Somali, depending on where you live.
So, there's a chance, that you may find a good brother who will pay all the bills, buy food, etc, but he maybe Arab, Eritrean, Sudanese, etc.
If your wali, or guardian, does his job right, he will look for the Allaah-fearing brother, not considering what race/ethnicity he belongs to.
a Muslim brother, knows that Allaah made maintaining the family, his job and duty, not the woman's.
 
I dont care. Its not taking money. Its called splitting the bills. You need to bring your half of the money for the rent. You need to understand. If you pay your half no man can ever put you in your place and say you live of my money.

Are you planing on being child free?

I see you dodging my post :cosbyhmm:
 
Taking care of my kids and the house while he provides financially for all of us sounds good to me. Modern day feminism really has brainwashed women into thinking traditional = bad

She doesn’t understand how she’s being empowered by splitting the bills. She’s gaining leverage and preventing her husband from taking advantage of her. No wonder feminism was started by men.

Sis I explain in detail how much more work it is for the 50/50 lifestyle. And white people have joint accounts. They don’t do my money your money, everything is shared that’s why the courts split assets.

They wanna mix two different customs in order to live off women.
100% true! They do have join accounts, they dont act like roommates. But these idiots are like their father like son! Never seen more lazy, ignorant, backwards, misogynist, coddled, selfish, shortsighted group of men like faraxs. But the joke is on them because the people that suffer the most in these lopsided dysfunctional family units are actually young boys. Just like the AA community :gnzbryw:
Less complaining, more working. :groypersit: Chop chop.
Was that suppose to be funny? Try again.
