Double standards when it comes to the acceptable behaviour of boys and girls!

Why are we so quick to throw our boys to the wolves? When we give them the freedom to come and go as they please, to have friends we don't know, to have their own laptops and iPhones, to spend hours on the Internet, unmonitored, to stay out until late with no questions asked, do we think they have some sort of gender-specific forcefield that will protect them when we fail to? A forcefield that will protect them from others, both online and on the street, and from themselves? This is not how boys become the kind of men the Ummah needs them to be. We have double standards when it comes to the acceptable behaviour of boys and girls, and our boys are suffering from our neglect as a result. - [Na'ima Robert]

I did not expect that line of argument lol, but fair point.

"How many people find fault in what they're reading and the fault is in their own understanding" Al Mutanabbi

Lol, i think it still exists, even till today. Though a lot of girls are now being given these "privaleges" and are going off rail.

 

ive been thinking about this.

 

but i was thinking along the line of awrah. Females work so hard to cover their awrah properly but guys... skinny jeans and tight shirts aren't okay in Islam yet it's not as big a deal as a girl wearing in a top and trousers...

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

What's the actual dress code for a man? I live with too many girls so don't think about this much. 

 

loose. mainly. and ive seen guys go into ruku with top and trousers and...just no. seems for prayer you'd need a long top.

 

and navel to knee, including/excluding being a diff of opp as far as im aware.

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
