Well done dear! Position in Pakistan is not very different either. Here also it is husband's duty to maintain his family whereas legally wife is not obliged to do any thing. So much so that according to some feminists it is the duty of the husband to cook food even for his wife.

Tuf he in 'Bharhoon' par!

What a pity that husbands are often sent to jail by the courts for non-payment of maintenance even to rebellious wives.

In public transport women become ladies with sole right on any seat and men remain just 'sawaaries' to be shoved around whenever a 'lady' needs a seat.

In fact the very morality here is gender biased which holds men as potential sex-abusers and even rapists and the women 'Satti saawitries' to be respected as honorable ladies.

The key thing that becomes obvious in this budget, is the Emergence of the 'anti- male' in Indian Politics

Enhanced tax slabs for females is not in consonance with the fact that more females ( 63% ) appointed in BPOs are females. 80% of the appointees to all jobs in the EU since 2000 are female! On top of the difficulty in finding a job in the 21st century, the male uses the money for the family, unlike the female whose income is 'additional'.

There is now 50% discount for females above 60 on trains! Are they all somehow disabled in some sort of way by being a female? Do old males somehow have to have 'more' disability to qualify as 'equal to a just-as-old female'? Internationally, males die younger too. And I have nt heard of absurd measures like these internationally.

That Renuka discussed the budget with the Finance Minister before its finalisation, while other cabinet colleagues could not, only shows the 'woman' power that she wields ( probably encouraged by Sonia, herself a feminist ), in the Union Cabinet.

This comes on top of the Congressi feminist laws against Indian sons-in-law!
While all Indian parties are competing for female votes, the ones to suffer their loss of dignity, all in the guise of 'equality', will be males.


Males need to be aware of this casteism in the making. Unless they group together for their own sake, they can expect to be run all over.

Re: # 28

But most authentic of the translations, one by Pickthall, says:

"As for those from whom you fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them." (Sura 4, verse 34 of Quranul Hakeem)

Acrding to Wikipedia the 'scourge' means:

"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Scourge (disambiguation).

A scourge (from Italian scoriada, from Latin excoriare = "to flay" and corium = "skin") is a whip or lash, especially a multi-thong type used to inflict severe corporal punishment or self-mortification on the back"

Mind also, this punishment is meant if there is a fear only of rebellion on her part and not an actual rebellion and it is a positive order,
a 'farz' to be complied with by the husband while the actual rebellion is to be reported to the court.

neembu,

perhaps you can stop inventing idiotic assertions. Could you kindly show exactly where I made what statements?

until then, please refrain from showing your bateesi or your khokla khopRDa :).

Thank you kindly. Now please stop hyperventilating.

Re: # 37

in other words, you are too embarrassed to admit that you were corrected for your eggregious stereotype. perhaps dr. sohail can delineate this aspect of male pathology-the inability to admit one is wrong.

err, friendship outside wedding? sounds like one of those Shahruk Khan's Movies!

how to make your wife happy? (my version)
a) acknowledging her work, beauty -
b) socializing with her ( going to her-side of relatives)
c) giving her expensive gifts ( make sure it's gold - since she keeps gold with her - and it's a good investment too - the money doubles in years plus you can always use wife's gift if (godforbids) in financial problems)

Re: # 35

Excuse me-but you made claims in your last post. Kindly review these claims in light of the Catal Huyuk settlements, ukp.

Re: # 33

unfortunately, the so-called professor has made up assertions from my comments and asked me to defend them.

This is ridiculous :) I cannot defend stupid assertions made by neembu. In fact, it is my aim to dissolve the jahilliya in her :D

Re: # 27

"There were female prophets, but they were silenced by the male dominated societies."

Quote which societies silenced God's women prophets?

To reiterate:

The "interactor" "Hurricane" has been challenged on his stupid and ill informed notion that female deities had not existed in the Near East and in researching the Catal Huyuk settlements, will be shown for the charlatan he is. Thank you.

Re: # 27

Actually, it might serve your own clearly considerable educational background (*) to learn about the Catal Huyuk settlements. Pray tell google them and report back to us their significance in the Near East, thanks!
