Sexism In Islam?
The assumption is that Egalitarian marriage is superior. This is how it’s portrayed since start of industrial revolution and capitalist world order(economic terms only) This trumpet is blown so hard and for so long that now we don’t even ask the egalitarian marriage torch bearers “ please enlighten us by sharing any proofs u may have” evidence is on the contrary when we considered “women happiness” the core reason to free women from traditional wife role In the last 20 yrs there r no of surveys and studies identifying that traditional marriage is more satisfying for women. Recent large study looked at sexual intimacy between egalitarian & traditional marriages. Traditional marriage affords more intimacy. Egalitarianism is also becoming more problematic in samesex marriages and partners assumes traditional roles to stay happier Nothing is more complex than marriage, but 1 factor identified as predictor of women’s happiness is husband taking part is household chores. Looks at the life of Muhammad SAW, he was the busiest man ever lived, Allah has to instruct in Quran to give him some privacy. Yet he found time to do his personal work like washing clothes, he did kitchen stuff like milking the goat and also helped with keeping the house tidy. We adopted gender roles based upon culture and now defending our culture not religion. Private business by women was v common in Medina, Muhammad SAW was employed by an independent business women! The first ever quality inspector in Medina’s market was a woman appointed by Umer RA. Women’s scholars used to have student circles in Masjid nabwi etc etc. Islamic Spain, best coffe shops were owned and run by women. There’s is lot of evidence from archaeological data and excavation studies but I’ll stop here for now.
