Loser Husbands
I am no fan of some men. One hears of men who goes on Tabligh all round the year, and destroys his family and future. One also hears about husbands who just sit around and try to dictate the family without moving an inch. Over to Organica.
My friend works 6-7 days a week. She also is a student at my university. Her husband spends most days at home sleeping. He is “self-employed” and refuses to get a steady job because he likes being “his own boss!” He is also a practicing Muslim brother who regularly attends the masjid and demands his rights from his overworked wife. Sound familiar?
When I first met my friend a little over a year ago, I thought she was a single mom. She never mentioned her husband. She always scrambled between daycare, school and work. She barely had a moment to breath and on most days she turned to her parents for help.
Ironically, I found out later that she is indeed still married. It was when I inquired why she preferred to wear black garments all the time. Her response, “my husband wants me to!”
How does one solve this problem? Not at an individual level, but at umumi level?

THOSE MEN YOU SPEAK SO DERISIVELY OF ARE THE SHINING HEROES OF THIS UMMAH. THEY HAVE SUCH A GREAT BURDEN ON THEIR BACKS AND IT IS UP TO THEIR RIGHTFULLY SUBJUGATED WOMEN TO SHARE THE BURDEN, IF NOT TAKE IT UP ENTIRELY. MEN ARE THE BEST AND WOMEN ARE MERE ACCIDENTS. I PRAY FOR THE DAY WHEN I AM REWARDED WITH A WOMAN WHO WILL DO ALL MY WORK FOR ME WHILE I SIT AND RELAX- I DESERVE IT. THIS IS MY RIGHT AND WOE TO ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE.
Hahaha, “Ar rijalu min an nisaa”, you so silly.
Faraz- let me be the first to tell you that you’ve been brainwashed by the evil feminist movement. You’ve also lost your manhood. You mock my post even though it is the truth. I’m glad to know you took time away from knitting gloves and baking cookies to talk to me, but I do wish you said something more substantive, something more representative of your masculinity. You instead mistook my reassertion of male supremacy as a joke when nothing could be further from the truth.
Listen, Faraz, or should I call you Farha, The Movement for the Reassertion of Male supremacy and Female Subjugation to her Rightful and Traditional Role in the Social Hierarchy (TMRMSFSRTRSH)will not waver in the face of your vicious and disparaging attacks. In fact, you’ve strengthened our resolve and fortified our ranks. We will not be intimidated and we certainly won’t let effeminate folks like yourself divert us from our noble and masculine cause. You are a woman and an ignoble apostate until you repudiate your earlier sarcasm as far as we are concerned.
I’ll let you get back to your knitting and baking now. Let me know when you want to be a man again.
