There is a deep rooted problem in terms of gender inequality in our country, however, our country has far worse problems, imagine the UK being at war, do you think people will care about the level of gender inequality ? no. We are used to our fucked up predicament, so desensatized to the fact that university students are bombed killed in Mogadishu, entire tribes bombed and under siege by foreigners KDF and their stooges in Kismaayo for 3 days and 3 nights killing and devastating entire neighbourhoods, drones killing nomads in Gedo. Floods of people fleeing and dying doing tahriib in Puntland/Somaliland while politicians are belly dancing for aid donations. etc etc
right now these issues are more important then gender equality, this is my opinion.
whats your twitter bro?It is not my brotha it is quite the opposite! Somali culture has always been equalizing! Look at it before the war!
Genital mutilation happens to both men and women it's both damaging for women & men!
Here is a description on somalis in the 18 century!
They take world wide social issue & try to link it to or blame somali culture & religion for it!
It is really just a way to avoid responsibility & push they're victimhood complex!
If you have twitter follow me & together we will prove these people wrong with facts statistics logic

It is a well known fact that you Kikuyu dogs are responsible for a large portion of the bloodshed and instability in Somalia. You Kenyan Savages even funded the Somali warlords who killed our people during the 1990's so don't you dare claim that you people don't have your hands dirty.BeyondQabil wrote:Always blaming other people...that's Somalia's biggest problem.

Yes, her parents are Salafi. She is the only female in her family that doesn't cover, but even her younger sister wears the Somali jilbab which is very rare in Toronto. Farhiya insists that she's a still a Muslim, but she worships waaq in place of Allah so idk. I guess she's a progressive Muslim. lol Tbh her family consider her to be "qof wareersan" and she's actually on meds, so no one takes her views seriously. This is not to say I don't believe that she's been raped because walaahi I do, but her problem is with her family. The "ceeb" culture she speaks of exists within the walls of her home but I guess it's easier to blame those on the outside rather than place the blame on her parents and immediate family.Cherine wrote:Inaalilaah her parents are Salafi? Wouldn't have thought just by looking at her but i can see how it happened. Do they know she's gaalad?Buraanbur wrote:She's projecting the life led by her Salafi parents onto the rest of us. I have never experienced this in my life, nor have my sisters, female cousins, or aunts. I bet if we look into the families of these twitter Somali feminists, they all have mothers who wear burqas who probably then forced them to cover before they even understood what a hijab symbolized and absentee dads ( probably with multiple wives). I know this is true for Riya and a few other Somali twitter feminists.
Instead of projecting her issues onto the whole community, she needs to address the issues that exist within her own family because this "ceeb" culture exists in HER environment. It took her 10+ years to tell them she was raped because of the "ceeb" culture that exists in her family. Her family were also the ones who pressured her to take down the video. I don't see how this is about our community as a whole?
viewtopic.php?t=338685Ironically I come from a family of faith. My dad and mom are very religious. So religious I had to watch tame TV shows like The Simpsons in secret when they werent around. So religious they wake me up for Fajr prayer to this day. So religious that the sound of any music, even in commercials, makes them very angry and demand it be turned off.
Are you CoonKingdom? Anyway, I'm certain that her particular circumstance is pretty normal among this twitter crowd ( I know a few of them and the common denominator = Salafi parents ). If I were a betting woman, I'd bet that the overwhelming majority of this crew have extremist parents and/or family issues. They obviously don't consider their parents to be extremists, but I see them as such. Salafis are suffocating literalists who should live in secluded communities like the Amish or ultra Orthodox Jews if they have any chance of surviving in the west. How can you not see the connection? Do you not ever wonder why most ex Muslims and Salafis have practically the same EXACT view of Islam?SaciidAyanleh wrote:
@Buranbuur, just because her particular circumstance isn't entirely normative, you cannot completely dismiss her message. You act as if she was the only one contributing/relating to her hashtagsOr maybe they're all just lashing out at bad/extremist parents.
These people aren't for real issues nor are they doing anything to change the lives of women or move our cause forward. They aren't crowdfunding for scholarships for female students in Somalia, they're not starting viral campaigns to educate Somalis on the dangers of FGM, they're not doing anything about sexual assault/rape and gender-based violence in Somalia instead they're on twitter talking about how Hijabis can give head in public and we have to 'deal', calaacaling about Cadaan people studying Somalis, and advocating for transsexual Muslims and anyone who doesn't agree is gifted with barrage of insults. They're attention-seeking halimos with a platform who can corrupted youngsters on twitter and tumblr. It's dangerous and they deserve to be called out on it. I honestly don't get it..I'm a woman and I don't support these women. Why do you support them?
I'm sure Riya and co. will say that I am an example of someone with internalized misogyny and claim what I say to score cool points with guys online.Kaafiye wrote:Buraanbur, you are the best
