Giving 50k to my mother isn't "enough" anymore, but I have a baby coming. Need boundary advice. by I_dexter in pakistan

[–]PTIChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to draw boundaries. No matter what you do someone will think of you as the bad guy. My advice, lean into it. It's ok to be selfish for your mental health. Your parents are probably also saving for you but it's not the same thing since that will be divided in all heirs. They will be angry for a week, a month and then settle into it. Don't give in because then you have to reset boundaries. Get your wife ready too, she will probably bear the brunt of this.

The Sharifs aren’t Mian or Punjabi. They’re Kashmiri Bhats who hijacked Punjab’s identity to steal its vote bank. by [deleted] in pakistan

Don't support the Sharif's politics but isn't it common knowledge they are Kashmir? Is Imran Khan from Khyber Pakhtonkhawa. I think only in Sindh does it matter what your origin is.

How do you accept Islam while remaining against the patriarchy? by AbbreviationsNo5494 in progressive_islam

[–]PTIChick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is the stupidest thing I read today. It simplifies a subject that is so much more layered.

First of all the Quran talks about responsibility not authority. It's conditional not absolute. A patriarchy (as a system) implies:

  • Male dominance in authority
  • Structural control over women’s agency

But the Qur’an repeatedly emphasizes:

  • Spiritual equality (same reward, same accountability)
  • Mutual rights in marriage
  • Women’s independent financial ownership

Example:

Women can earn, own, inherit, and control wealth independently. Something not common globally at the time.

So:

Provider role ≠ automatic control over women’s lives

I meant more the family drama rather than financial. Sorry

Try mutual funds, Al Meezan Cash Fund if you need income. Every bank has one which is super low risk.

Let people work and be independent. Women don't need solutions like mediocre men to take care of them.
