Muslim and Looking for Love

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/revelations/episode-guide/series-5/episode-1

It seems Muslim women are also pricing themselves out of the market. British Muslim women want to marry British Muslim men, but they are very fussy and critical. British Muslim men have the advantage of opting to have a wife from Pakistan, untouched by feminist assumptions, who will be properly respectful of their husbands.

"British Muslim women want to marry British Muslim men, but they are very fussy and critical."

It's not necessarily that they're being "very fussy". They just require that a prospective husband has equal or greater earning power compared to her. This is women's natural programming.

However the mass entry of women into the workforce, birth control, and the mass outperformance of young men by young women upsets this arrangement.

An educated wealthy woman is setting herself up for failure, if marriage is part of her idea of success.

Accordingly, why more and more young, educated, wealthy women are turning to things such as prostitution as a way of exploiting male resources.

As a flower leans towards the sun, women will lean towards alternative methods of tapping into male productivity and wealth.

Needless to say, some of those methods are better than others (from mens' point of view).

I don't say that fussiness is not a factor at all - it may well be, I am not familiar with British Muslim youth culture.

I am saying that the current economic trends between young men and women cannot be discounted.

Of course Muslim men are opting for traditional Muslim women. Men are usually not interested in a womens earning power. They want a wife who will be a good wife and mother. I'd get a traditional Muslim women myself if I was Muslim and wanted a strong, healthy family.

Traditional Muslim relationships should not be your ideal if you are a healthy and normal man. There they have child brides and can get away with beating the crap out of their wives. I have friends from very traditional foreign families and every one of them - sons AND daughters are encouraged to get high grades and get good jobs.

The 30 second rapist

http://www.australian-news.com.au/anti_male.htm "Perth resident Kevin Ibbs was having consensual sex with Christine Watson on the night of 29 November 1986. Watson, a close friend of Ibbs's wife, Katrina Carter, was living in the same house with Ibbs and Carter. The sex act was taking place with the full knowledge of Carter who was in the house at the time. As Ibbs was nearing ejaculation, Watson suddenly withdrew her consent to sex (so she later claimed) and tried to push Ibbs away. He continued for a short time. Too late, he was trapped. He was charged with sexual assault and found guilty under the new law. The judge found that Ibbs had continued sexual intercourse for about thirty seconds without consent (for which he was later dubbed the 30-second rapist). The judge sentenced him to four years imprisonment." http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/HCA/1987/46.html "Some years later Watson admitted to police that the whole incident was a set-up orchestrated b

Verse in Koran implicitly accepts the existence of brothels

024.033 YUSUFALI : Let those who find not the wherewithal for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah gives them means out of His grace. And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum), give them such a deed if ye know any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to you. But force not your maids to prostitution when they desire chastity, in order that ye may make a gain in the goods of this life. But if anyone compels them, yet, after such compulsion, is Allah, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to them), PICKTHAL : And let those who cannot find a match keep chaste till Allah give them independence by His grace. And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), write it for them if ye are aware of aught of good in them, and bestow upon them of the wealth of Allah which He hath bestowed upon you. Force not your slave-girls to whoredom that ye

My interpretation of that wife-beating verse 4:34

004.034 YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all). PICKTHAL: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a wa
