Going slightly off-topic, but even today the most "liberal" & "educated " men talk in ways that render me speechless!!

A friend who has done 2 degrees was complaining to me the other day, another how bad the job market is & how he belongs to a "middle class family unlike you"

And then followed up by saying "oh but you're a GIRL, it doesn't matter if you get a job or not , your husband will take care of ."

I felt like puking INTO the phone!!! 😡

You know as much many women might not want to admit it. It's a universal fact that girls are sucker for bad boys,and hope their love will turn them in to angels. I hope I don't slipper by saying this. After all, We are very nurturing creatures.

@Malika E Bhais, Yes, the feminist in us girls in this century will def kick in .You know when Fatima was pregnant with somebody else child in this show once. I felt sorry for her, and sided with her. It was wrong of her to claim the child as Akbar, but you can't imagine why she did it? The question arises why should she be loyal to man who only showed up to her chambers once in a while?🤔

@Bornthis way, yes for our generation this is unfathomable. Wonder what would happen if could go back in time, and one girl from this century lands up in Akbar's harem? Let's say a very feminist, bold, and a beautiful one. Maybe, we would have time travel love story.😆Sorry am a sucker for impossible love stories.😆How would she change some men thinking?😆

@ Vicky, it's so hard to imagine that woman were nothing but object of carnal desire for these men.🤢How we were treated like garbage, and not respected. I despise how the men of century thought that we were subordinate in gender to them. How we were just their damn possessions. Even a lot of men in this century think like that.😡As much as I love U.S., I hope someday we can get the Equal Pay Act pay Act will be implemented soon . Because even a country advanced as U.S., women get paid less than men. It's sad.

Noor Jehan might have but another fact is-Men couldn't handle her. And her Power.

Today's men cannot handle women being better than them can you IMAGINE how they must've felt in the 17the century?!!!

She was very intelligent, very beautiful, kickass in EVERY way !!! She was the only woman who had coins minted in her name , she hunted, was kind, compassionate & looked after hundreds of widows & orphan children!! She had the Mughal royal seal with herself which meant that every Farmaan in the Mughal world was first read by her even before the Emperor!!!! She was Emperor, in all but name.

I LOVE this woman!!! 😳
