Lately, everything's gotten so hard!

Hey guys and gals, why does everyone have this unfair attitude toward women and girls? Were they sent into this world just to serve others and can't have their own dreams and wishes? Like, pressing and washing my brother's clothes, cooking for everyone and all that... honestly, doing these things isn't the problem itself, but when you're busy with your own work and your brother is carelessly passing time on his phone, and then you're told to do those chores-that's when you just get mad! Forget society for a minute, but when your own family behaves like this, it just doesn't make sense... I've read and heard a lot about the duties of men and women in Islam, but what's the point when no one is even willing to listen? Neither my family is ready to listen, nor society, I just don't get it. Allah has made everything easy for everyone, but when Allah's own servants don't want to step out of old ways of thinking, what can you do? And then over the smallest thing, you get to hear stuff like, "Her brain's gotten all messed up from too much studying and using her phone; it's better to give girls religious education and keep them at home." Seriously? We can't even respectfully use the understanding we've gained? Lately, I've been emotionally and mentally broken by my own family's mindset. 😣 I know and I accept that I might be wrong too and might need some correction, but blindly clinging to what's become the norm in society just doesn't feel right to me. I just truly hate this world!!!

Sister, I understand what you're saying. The situation is the same at home too-everything for our brother, and even if we beg on our knees for our own wishes, no one bothers to ask.

Yeah, exactly! I think our thoughts don't get any importance because of these old ideas. What's the point of being educated when our voice isn't even heard at home?

May Allah grant you patience. Truly, when your own people behave this way, your heart breaks.
