[quote]salaam,

The phrase you quoted is a particularly aggressive statement of my intention to demonstrate my point and refute your if needs be.  It was harsh.  And so it will be changed.

My contentions are as follows: -

1-  Men and women are not the same and cannot do the same things.  They also tend to want to do and be different things.

2- Feminism is a man hating and femininity hating ideology which wants to make women perpetually victims in their mindset and want to make women act like men.  It has been a large element in the break up of the family.

3-  Muslim women, just like Muslim men, need to know their place in the world.  That place is not competing with each other.  The essence of the male and female is that of complementarity, not competition.  Women have become more masculanised from a young age and are trained to try to compete against men physically, mentally and emotionally.

Modern women have been brainwashed to despise femininity and to aim for masculinity.  And men have been brainwashed in the opposite way.

The effects of this are enormous and almost entirely detrimental.

I do not recommend Muslim women going out to work, unless they truly must to survive.  They should have as their focus the home.

I do support women gaining knowledge, but especially beneficial knowledge.

In the family the man is the head of the household, no ifs and no buts.  True, discussion and consultation should take place.

Women and men must be once again educated on what it mean to be male and female.  We are designed differently and have different needs.  We have much discontentment because we are all taught to ignore these.

Only once we work together and not against each other can the family and society once again improve.

I can defend all these points.

For a view I found on the husband and wife relationship, visit http://www.detailedquran.com/quran_data/The%20Husband%20wife%20relationship%20in%20Islam.htm
