Eyes on somali women- a tribute

Post by Globetrotter- »

She is born as a liability in a world that is full of perils.

From the day she is born a somali woman is required to adhere to sick norms (many of them disguised in islam) of society.

She is not expected to be like boys who have the freedom to do what they wish.

SHame is the word that is used to describe her if she diverges from the sick norms.

She is prepared for a life of misery (trained to become a wife from the onset).

While boys are allowed to screw who they wish (infact sleeping with many women, cheating etc are not considered that bad if it is done by boys)

But if a somali woman shows any sign of emancipation, society would judge her as abnormal.


The funny thing is that in the diaspora it is the somali mother that not only nurtures but she is also a bread winner and many people back home live because a certain somali woman has sent a few dollars.

Men on the other hand are praised for not doing much. They would cover their women and head tail, accuse her of becoming kufr if she attempts to reason.


Into this jungle of norms, religion and opression are born a few women who are begining to question the fabrics of the gender-norms- and before you know it fuccing Bearded wahabists are issuing lame semi fatwas condemning them.


I love somali women but they are very materialistic (who is to blame them?) and when you date them they have already envisaged about the excessively directed wedding. One is introduced to her family- and the next few weeks the wedding bells are ringing.

In conclusion, somali women rock in a seismic world created by males! No wonder there are thousands of single mothers in the west who are out to take their revenge on somali men by becoming pseudoprostitutes ( I have nothing against prostitution- infact I think it should be legal). Who would blame them?

Somali woman stand up for your rights! It is about human rights!

I would never marry a somali woman for the simple reason that there is no love in a somali familiy. Love is an illusion and sexual lust and societal pressures are the drivers!

Boo, Ayan Hersi has gone far but I love her stance. It is the sick wahabists who have issued a fatwa. Imagine living in a world where sick wahabists issue a fatwa simply because you spoke your mind. I don't condone much of what is reported to have say- but she raises many vital points.

Being from galkacyo you are not alien to the descriptions I gave above. Are you denying any of the points I raised above????????????

I agree with the praise for the somali women. They are smart, hard working and more beneficial than most of somali men, my hats off to them.

But why blame them in the same article. You are contradicting yourself!!!

"somali women rock in a seismic world created by males! No wonder there are thousands of single mothers in the west who are out to take their revenge on somali men by becoming pseudoprostitutes"

This is harsh and untrue most of the time.


And this:

"I love somali women but they are very materialistic (who is to blame them?) and when you date them they have already envisaged about the excessively directed wedding. One is introduced to her family- and the next few weeks the wedding bells are ringing"

True but not always Laughing Laughing

Cawar, I am not blaming somali women. There are no discrepencies in what I wrote. I was attempting establish causal relationships between male hegemony and female paths. They are victims of their environment- turned into rodents if you like it by male created norms.

But it is unfortunate that many somalis don't appreciate the contributions of the somali woman.

Do you know what the sad part is?
I dont know any Somali girl.Let alone in my immediate family that is treated the way these so called "liberators" are crying about.

I'm sorry ,maybe it's a different 'Somali' to what I know where I'm the only daughter amongst 4 huge brothers and I can still get my way?Premarital sexna waa xaraan for all genders.Dont try that card Globe.

The Somali female I see EVERYDAY is strong,maternal and precious.She keeps the whole backbone of Somalinimo together.Calacalkaaga naga daa hadaba......Uff.

As for Ayan Hersi,Afdhere all of those that 'tart-up' articles and speeches are such are a joke wallahi.

Qurux, count yourself lucky and get out of that den and explore the somalis. The reality is that many somali women (and many others on this earth) are enslaved through the lenses of religion.


Boo- 100-50% is a nonsense. It is a testimony of how our faith has been tempered with to deny 50% of the people on this earth their due rights.

We are not living in the stone age , you lousy man- and thus muscle size and physical activities are out of the question.

True and unfortunate, but you say you do and you act like you dont, at least you did act like you dont care not long ago... so unless you are not excluding yourself from the blame...we are on the same wavelength.

But looking at it from a diff. perspective, I say somali women in the diaspora need no one's approval, they do as they please and the positive results far out-weigh the negative ones... to the extent that they beacme leaders and a league of their own in Business, education and many other fields...so think positively mate...the future is brighter than you think Insha Allah.

PS do not blend this issue with religion...it has nothing to do with it!!!!!!!!!

Globe , a teacher of mine once told me that in a dissertation or any piece you write , the most important parts are what is called in french " L'introduction " and "la conclusion" with providing both sides a certain issue " la these" and "l'antithese" while in the process not losing your train of thoughts.
Adigu you started off pretty good but concluded misarebly by in essence saying" Somali women are good , but truely they s.uck" . What a tribute!!! Laughing
I say they rock , period.

Inabaxar, I am not writing a disseration but thanks for the criticism nonetheless.

Cawar, the contributions of somali women are not appreciated- on the Internet we find her they are negatively potrayed.


Quruxley , unless you are playing smart I was reacting to this line sentence: "I dont know any Somali girl.. (....)"

I don't spend much time with somalis yet on average I see a dozen everyday that are victims of societal norms.

Let me ask you this question, Answer it courteous.

Why is it a man can have abundant girlfriends and he's perceived as a pimp which is a complaint.

But when a woman does similar act she's observed as a harlot which is contemptuous and offensive.

why is that ??
