dear sister, men are not the only issue here, though the ones you speak about are not worth marrying anyway if they have such a primitive view. the big issue that is ignored is that married sisters are too selfish to help the single sisters get married, over jealousy that the single sister will “score” a better man then themselves. it’s a problem with the ummah to help each other for the reward from allah (swt).

This is so true brother.

I believe you did not what understand what I was saying.

First of all, few men feel ‘intimidated’ by educated women – rather those women are often so proud of their education they go around rejecting dozens of good proposals because they think the men are not ‘qualified’ then they get old and complain more.

Secondly, fitnah results because there is a need for marriage but many obstacles to getting married on-time, with such unIslamic beliefs such as outlawing marriage until mid-to-late 20s due to education pursuits.

When the Quran says men are the protectors and maintainers of women, it just means men have no excuse NOT to work and provide for the family, whereas pregnancy and breastfeeding greatly hinders a woman’s capabilities. Otherwise, women SHOULD be in the workforce.

There is also no such thing as a “man’s job”. Women CAN do all the same things as men, weather jahils like it or not!

Inshallah, this ideology of women needing to stay at home (there is a verse in the Quran where it spoke of this, but it was meant for the Prophet’s wives ONLY) will wither away.

You are DEAD wrong on so many levels. You need to read and study Islam much more, because it is clear shaytan has got to you.

There is NOTHING wrong with mixed environments
There is NOTHING WRONG with going to school or working

Please stop embarrassing the ummah. I hope the female members of your family are not suffering like how you want women to suffer.

I wouldn’t mind as long as the men themselves are judged by the same yardstick, but majority of the men that are seen are simply your average joe, looking for custom made princesses from Jannah (lol).

And God forbid the men are well qualified and earning well abroad. The specifications request pretty much revolves around – very fair, fair, beautiful, very fair or fair only. Color obsessed much?
