On Medium: Why do Conservative Muslim Men Hate Women?
Read on about the irony and paradox of being attracted to women and simultaneously needing to loathe them on conservative, religious grounds in the Muslim world.
I suppose it is impossible to know for certain, but they give all the appearances of loving their husbands: they marry them and stay the the course with them in spite of all the abuse and controlling behavior. The long suffering housewife who insists on standing by her man even when this so-called "man" refuses to support her and their children, dictates who she is allowed to associate with and where she is allowed to go, and even abuses her physically, is very common trope that can be found all across the world and not just among conservative Muslims. Before the economic, legal, and social liberation of women, this frustrating phenomenon could plausibly be explained by women's dependency upon men for survival, but not anymore
It's a beginning. But I believe that the more interesting question is this: "Why do conservative Muslim women love men who hate them?"
