shaista:
Why shouldn't women work? They should get education. Aur woh parhai hi kia jo kaam na aaye?
Aur sub se bari example humare liye, aur jo humare loog kehte hain ke aurat ko kaam nahin karna chahye, woh theen Bibi Khadidja. Woh kaam karti theen.
And i agree with castro, there should be a balance in work and family
Uses of education are far beyond gainful employment and earnling a livelihood, or for gaining other economic, social or other benefits. but for this subject, wtih due respect Shaista, ... I think, we stretch things a bit too far....and jump to conclusions and draw parallels between apples and oranges...
I mean no punt and only want to set things straight. There is absolutely no comparison between the circumstances, conditions, environments or of anything else of us and ummul Mo'mineen, Khadijah RA -- one of the three highest ranking women ever. If we are not fully sure of what we are saying, let's not pull these most revered persons into petty discussions...FGS, let's not argue over that just for the sake of argument.
In principle, I favor women having a right to earning...for how and where they earn their livlihood are debateable...for how they get treated where they work have many factors play into it.........my understanding of this topic is only one aspect of poor treatment, i.e. "men-dominated workplaces don't accomodate women workers with equal opportunity and equal status." ..........correct me Asian if I have misstated the subject of your topic.....I apologize if my words sound unfriendly, I have no intentions of disrespecting anyone.
