Question for Somali men
I really want understand the concept behind belittling, using derogatory language “(shuubo, siilkay safrisay…..)” towards our Somali sisters who chose to marry into different cultures. Why does it get to you on what a woman chooses for her life?
On the other hand why is it so hard to hold another man accountable for his despicable actions in our community, eg Cabdiraxman qoys, Jiheeye, this TikTok username strongfamily44 and so many others. Why does fellow men applaud for these men? Don’t you think you are normalizing behaviours that will affect your daughters and your sisters? How would you feel if this was your daughter?
A girl was clearly violated in broad day light in Mogadishu few weeks back** **and very few of you spoke up and the women that did, were labelled as feminists ( I m not talking about the few that protested). Just few days after that, those boys did that same act on hooyo Somaliyed.
Isnt using** وَقَرْنَ**** فِى ب**ُيُوتِكُنَّ to silence our sisters and suck up the bs when more than half our community are raised by single mothers who hustled for us; hypocrisy, double standards and weaponizing diinta against us, when it’s clearly the culture that’s messed up not diinta?
Where do you stand as a Somali Muslim brother?
