I wonder if this is why western men seem to be so dissatisfied. Women are now able to make their own way and if things go badly they can turn to the state. That is, if men feel a need to be needed. Maybe they don't.

It just seems like men and women don't really need each other for anything other than sex. (Okay - child rearing is probably best done by two good parents.) But other than that, what's the point of coupling up?


Sharing your life with a wonderful person. Working and acchieving dreams of your partnership, to be together happy about what you acchieved?

According to you, there would be no need for friendship either, because thats normally as well not based on sex. But being with good friends simply makes you happy, the more if its a very special unique friend. :)

If you can find someone who is supportive that's great but there are lots of people who are never afforded that luxury.

Why I hate Malala
  • How can I accept Malala to be a hero, when her speeches do not have any Islamic or nationalistic agenda? How can I consider her to be my future leader when nothing she says or does imbues a false sense of superiority in me as a Muslim or a Pakistani?
Over the past few weeks, what with the Nobel hoopla and all, everyone has had something to say or write about Malala Yousafzai. The politicians propagated their own agenda, liberal fascists whined about their cause and journalists used the issue to put forward their personal agendas through the debate surrounding that girl. Some writers wrote satires that were taken seriously, others wrote serious pieces that weren’t taken seriously and then there were the white man’s burden, brown man’s burden and burdens that came in other colours, being discussed in articles that tried to complicate a debate that has been pretty simple all along.

Now, as I write this piece, what I intend to do is give you a completely straightforward perspective, one that you will not find in any other article written about Malala. I have no issue being dubbed a misogynist, fundamentalist, jihadist or a conspiracy theory leech, for I have no qualms in admitting that I undoubtedly am all of those things. And so I shall tell you why I hate Malala sans any inkling of pretention: the absolutely honest and truthful perspective of a true Pakistani.

How much a Pakistani hates someone depends on how easy it is to hate them. And few individuals are easier to hate than Malala Yousafzai.

This fella is top-notch. Fair play to him; he needs all the help he can get.


I've read the whole article and it's actually in support of Malala,albeit in a very satirical way which is easy to mistakenly take at face value.
One of the last lines is 'I hate Malala because I don't have to look in the mirror'.The writer is urging those who do hate Malala to take a
good look at themselves.

Stuff like this makes me wonder what would happen if our news media focused on the reformers of the middle east more than on the radicals - would they be more successful from western backing or more stigmatized within their own countries for the same reason?
