You are making perfect sense sister Muslimah.
Sometimes I think women in America become accustomed to competing with the men on any and all terms. I wonder if since the 'women's liberation' movement we actually took it a bit too far. I wonder sometimes we try to place ourselves above the men. I think this is true in some cases.
Some of us see men as being too sex obsessed, and it irritates us. When we hear someone talking about letting the men have multiple wives, for some, their blood will boil.
But do westren women contribute in to the corruption of the male brain? Maybe so. Have we become so accostumed to competition that we draw no boundries? Do we as a whole throw all caution to the wind, forsaking common descency, modesty, and self respect in an attempt to be noticed by the men?
Summer is officially here in Wisconson, and my God, every year the fashion for women becomes more and more ridiculous. Women are to be seen everywhere in tiny little skin tight tops, tiny little shorts and skirts that are so revealing. I cannot even shop for my 11 year old daughter in the girls department. There is nothing descent to choose from. Now I hear the teenagers are partaking in a nude summer camp. Where does it end?
And what effect do you logically expect this to have on the men? How about the young boys growing up in this society?
Is the problem [i:78d6badf5c]really[/i:78d6badf5c] with the men, or is it with the women?
Allah is wiser than us, who are we to question His wisdom?
OK, maybe this is a bit of a rant, but I think we need to seriously examine our roles and responsibilities as women and improve ourselves before we start pointing our fingers at the men all the time.
