You all are explaining Islam to me as though I was born in Europe and this is my first interaction with Pakistan or Islam. I have been reading and studying different religions since I was 16. I might as well know a thing or two more about your religion than some of you do.

a society that already struggles to accept women making their own choices does not need another reminder that perhaps women have been given too much freedom. the people defending this storyline need to understand that not every woman has the privilege of standing up for +

I don’t think it’s people disliking those who dress modest, it’s just that it’s legitimate to ask why so often women’s faith and belief in God is reduced to how they dress?
Conversely, why isn’t a man’s faith reduced to how many non-mehram women he interacts with? It’s hypocrisy
THISSSS!!! THISSSS!
How difficult it is to understand this. Nobody has a problem with someone choosing modesty. It’s equating modest dressing with being good religious woman is where the narrative becomes dangerous. It’s so simple.

the islamification of women in PTV is shifting to shalwar qameez, skip any chances of enjoyment in your life, make your husband your personality and become boring altogether

pakistanis will watch a drama where the woman is losing her entire life, personality, dreams, ambitions and becoming a mindless, shallow shadow of her so called green flag husband and romanticise the shit out of it. theres a reason this country is going to hell
Also, in two of her dramas airing at the same time the main idea is, if women are given freedom they’re bound to sin. Woman, are you mad?
Umera Ahmed in today’s ep of Dar-e-nijat v clearly pushing a narrative that women’s clothing is the problem, that wearing anything other than desi attire somehow makes a woman less connected to God; that women taking pictures, is somehow morally wrong. Shitty AF!
