Is Karvachauth wrong? - Page 7

Did I ever say I called you a mysogynist because you don't oppose KC? I spent a good few posts defending the right of women to choose KC. No, but the fact that you would make insulting comparisons to someone who would argue against KC is just wrong. If they make a valid point, can't it be taken as such without saying that the said person is like a stupid kid/ugly woman just because she argues against something? We're all civilized human beings, aren't we? Can't we have a discussion without making insulting remarks about each other?

And as far as the subjectivity of beauty goes, the idea of beauty changes every single day because of pop culture and what's "in" or not. It's fine if you have a preference for the type of woman that you would date, but don't say, "no one wants to marry someone who looks like a dog." That is very hateful and people do not look like dogs. It's because people like you who say things like that that so many women have a negative outlook on their body image. People come in all shapes and sizes and colors, and they are all beautiful!

Fasting for KC and Muslim ladies wearing Hijab- both are 'choices'. There are ladies who CHOOSE not to wear Burqa too. But with every choice comes a result which , I think will be useless explaining you, because you come across as an athiest to me. Its given in the holy book that a lady who observes the KC fast is doing so for her husband's long life. ( And many husband's observe this fast too). She may choose not to observe this fast (if she is a hindu) so that her husband dies ASAP😛 And the more you're devoted to your religion, the more rewards you get. Not just in this world, but in the hereafter too. For me, the rewards I will get in the other world hold more importance than the one's I'll get here.

Anytime! In fact, I thought you did a much better job of it in your very first post.

People accusing others of not reading their word salad should first take a pause, read what the others are saying and make sincere attempts to understand the position the other debaters are trying to embrace. Instead, we have people coming here to equivocate, liberally label others and lace their presuppositions with nothing but invectives. I don't see a point to engaging such people in a debate.

I understand the context, sir. You said that women making virulent attacks against KC, or in other words, arguing against it, are like stupid children/ugly women. And there was no need to bring in such an insulting analogy. You could have put forth a good argument supporting KC instead.

And so, are you trying to say that you would call anyone whom you do not find sexually desirable as dog-like? Why are you even comparing people to dogs? It's completely fine and dandy if you have a preference, if you find certain women desirable, but not others. But don't call the ones you don't find desirable dogs.

Burqas and boob jobs are red herrings to the topic at hand.

Sometimes I seriously contemplate wearing full burqua all the time. That way I can just roll out of bed, slip on the cover and head gear and not fuss over hairdos and what I shall wear that day.

Angie, is this a complaint or a rueful admission?

If on one hand, we are portraying that this festival is voluntarily observed by women, and on the other hand, we are pointing out that men are not coming up with a festival as some sort of a quid pro quo, isn't the "voluntarism" of the original deed, defeated?
