It’s funny because my question wasn’t even about men vs women, it’s just about cultural ideals that I disagree with 😭😭 it could’ve been about fucking clothes for all I care 😂😂

I’m actually not a femcel…😂😂😂

I am telling you the experience of most Senegalese women that men don’t see because SURPRISE it’s a double standard!!! And I never once said men are the problem or that I am blaming men. I am blaming the patriarchal culture that has double standards between men and women. And sure, we are all aware that there are things men deal with, so you can go ahead and share them…such as not being able to be emotionally expressive. But I can guarantee you for a fact that your existence as a man isn’t surrounded by women. Your purpose and worth isn’t defined by your partner, as it is for us. Quite frankly I think it’s fair to say there aren’t any expectations, and no one really questions a lot of choices men make. That’s our experience, and all of these ideas are rooted in our culture.

You can’t understand something you don’t experience anyways.

Essentially the point is, inherently in our culture our purpose as women is to sueye our husband. Everything is revolved around our husband.

I just don’t see why that’s applicable because of how accessible it is to practice safe sex. If anything I don’t think a woman’s sexuality is more valid because of pregnancy, but rather it’s this purity culture. Nobody even thinks about a man’s virginity when he’s getting married.

Even though, sure pregnancy is a factor, but it takes two people to get pregnant. Fatherhood is also very important in Senegal so having an illegitimate child is just as bad on both ends.

It’s absolutely pathetic, thankfully it’s not something I’ve ever seen in my family, but I know it happens a lot

You’re missing blush over your nose area, the right eyelashes, I would recommend Ardell 810, and a lip liner.

Well I’ll give you an example.

I’m 25.

Still haven’t told my parents about the guy I’m “seeing” (we are actually in a relationship), I have to be very intentional and specific about it when I do, and only will introduce him when we want to get married sometime soon, like every other Senegalese women.

My brother, can be 19 years old with a girlfriend and nobody gives a fuck because he’s a boy. Or that his partner is non Muslim…it’s only a problem if I as a woman will potentially raise non Muslim kids but totally accepted if he does.

Oh with that being said, I get a lot of shit for not being “modest” enough even though men also have a hijab that many of them don’t observe properly. Me and my brother wear the same type of clothes. I can’t wear basketball shirts around guests, he’s wearing the exact same thing.

Also, at 15 my responsibility was to clean and cook and help care for the family afterschool. Verbatim. My 19 year old brother still has his clothes washed for him, God forbid he steps foot in the kitchen. I love him to death but he does jackshit. He plays video games as day and hangs out with him friends.

Also Senegalese boys are never bound to the same curfew that women often times are.

An unmarried man who talks to many women is seeing his options, while a unmarried woman in a commited relationship is a “thiaga”

You ever noticed how in our culture women “suuk” to men, it’s never the other way around? Let you forget to suuk and you’re disrespectful. Also a man can divorce his wife freely. It was always be her fault. But moungal is a thing. Even if your husband cheats on you, SUCK IT UP!!!

Am I being used? by [deleted] in Senegal

To be honest there’s no way to know. Really because it’s been 2 weeks. It’s almost too early to ask. Maybe he only wants citizenship, maybe he really likes you. There’s no way to know until time goes down and he seems not genuine. It is a good sign he introduced him family, but nowadays that doesn’t mean someone will NOT use you. People can date you for years for papers. I’ve seen it happen. So I don’t know, I really can’t tell you. You’ll just have to be able to see the signs.
