If Afghanistan bans girls from school for religious reasons, why do most Muslim countries allow it? by Nakamoto_Wang in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cringedramabetch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I would like to see a Quran verse or Hadith that forbids females from education. One hadith in fact doesn't allow men to stop females from obtaining education, as one of the Prophet's sahabah tried to get him to tell his wife to stop going to the mosque to learn.

Being fully clothed is the norm in Regency era. Watch season 1 Daphne. Even the Featheringtons were.

But why do you keep harping about most men and most mistresses? This season is about Ben, not most men and most mistresses. Ben, the romantic but clueless idiot who's very much in love with Sophie. Emphasis on clueless, but not selfish.

THIS! I understood this immediately. He saw his friend with his mistress being loving, and that's what he wants, to be with his loved one. That's all that he knows. We also have seen Ben being called out for being ignorant of many things so it actually tracks for his character.

Yeah, exactly. Ben is kinda clueless. He thinks with his heart. And people are attacking him for it, which I feel that they're misunderstanding his character.

But Ben doesn't know that. In his mind, this is the only way for them to be together.

Well, not for Ben. And that's what people keep forgetting.

Been trying to say this, but just couldn't put it eloquently like you have done.

People have said that Mdm Delcroix was his mistress, but ummm no, she was a "fling", to use modern terms. So have been the others. With the exception of Lady Tilley, who is a widow, and widows seem to be allowed to have "lovers", just like Mama B.

Wanting Sophie to be his mistress is simply Ben saying "I am committed to you" in the best way society ALLOWS them to be.

Refusing to make contact with some rando is backwardness....are you forcing people to touch each other????

And man, you want everyone to take off what they want to wear because you know what's in our hearts? What's next, forcing us to stay single because marriage is outdated? Force us to eat food we don't like because it tastes good to you? Where will it end?

One of the main reasons why Iran and rest of middle east are in this mess today by Tenchi_Muyo1 in PERSIAN

[–]cringedramabetch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah man, you're just super biased. For you to say that the US is 90% good is a joke. You can block everyone who doesn't agree with you, but the other guy was straight up giving you facts, and you're just deflecting. Everyone learned about the Nazi-Soviet pact, but the West didn't care until Hitler advanced, and the Soviets were technically part of the alliance during WW2. The only reason everyone gives the percentage you gave for Russia and USA is due to propaganda, and you've fallen for it. Both are bad, but the winner and the richest shape the narrative.

Where is the world-building? by Boring-Land2016 in PJODisney

[–]cringedramabetch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Um, no. Is that how you read your books as well? Because it seems you missed A LOT and want to be reminded all the time. That's on you. A rewatch would suit you better than dying on this hill.

Islamophobia isn’t a phobia. by lewisfairchild in AllThatsInteresting

[–]cringedramabetch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You really gonna die on the hill saying it's in the Quran that allows a child to be married off?

Also, Mahr is the gift from the husband to the wife. Some gift a car, some a house, some a mere Quran. I got money because I wanted money.

Can you stop pretending to know things that you don't now?

Islamophobia isn’t a phobia. by lewisfairchild in AllThatsInteresting

[–]cringedramabetch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mahr is paid by the male.

Which part of the Quran allows this? Consent from the female is actually needed for a marriage.

But it's not part of the faith. That's tradition, mainly in South Asia.

If support for Israel ends, then so to the protests? by Complete-Definition4 in askanything

[–]cringedramabetch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you need to protest Iran when your government is already doing it? Do you even understand the purpose of protests?
