Mean Girls
I've been thinking, a lot people are, well, pretty mean to one another, to say the least.
Why is this exactly? When we're told time and time again that we should be just with each other, love each other, live as brothers (and sisters)?
As Muslims we have a responsibility not to make people feel low about themselves, we should help one another grow, progress - should we not?
I get that we use sarcasm (i do anyway) but there's a line that a person shouldn't cross - you don't purposely make someone feel inferior.
'O Believers! Let No Man Mock Another Man, Who May Perhaps Be better Than He'
[Surah 49: Ayah 11]
Just my opinion, the floor is open now ๐

Re: Mean Girls
Maybe because you're expected to be nice and sometimes have les than nice thoughts which are held back, when a situation arises where eg one person does something not nice or responds, the rest act in pack mentality, thinking "finally, I can get this off my chest", and because it is all at once, it can be ... not limited or proportional, where the actions are egged on by each other.

Re: Mean Girls
That doesn't justify it though - sometimes a person can be mentally affected by whatever mean stuff you say to them. That's not to say i'm perfect, i'm not but still try whenever you can right?

Re: Mean Girls
I am not defending it, just suggesting that that may be the popular path taken.
Being a sheep can sometimes be too easy.

Yeh that's true - esp while being in the moment

Re: Mean Girls
Just because I've come across the mean-ness of girls but you're right let's make it more general..

Re: Mean Girls
I think girls are definately ALOT more moodier than guys.
Maybe we're just mistaking moody for being mean.
Bijou Fri, 19 Nov 2010 - 09:55
Re: Mean Girls
I would disagree.
I agree that girls do have a tendancy of being slightly moody at times...
However most girls are just plain mean. I find guys to be much more easy going, relaxed and erm fun I guess. But with girls, uff you got to make sure you talk properly, not say a word wrong otherwise they will take it to be a wrong meaning and they are just rude for NO reason whatsoever, they gossip and back bite much more than guys do and they always fine a point to criticise...
am I sounding like guys now :oops:

There's no point denying it.
Try putting a bunch of girls together in a room. They won't last a day.

Nah, just thinking of four groups of girls who can't stick living with each other and it all boils down to petty problems. So I generalised.

Re: Mean Girls
Do you think women compete against each other when theres no need?
s.b.f Fri, 19 Nov 2010 - 14:51
Re: Mean Girls
This topic is about women, so I was asking just about women.
Nothing wrong with that. Ego can be good sometimes- I think.

LOL
It's got nothing to do with thinking low of ourselves - well i certainly don't think low of myself because I'm mean...that's mainly because i'm not mean, though ๐
diversity in personality?
You don't have to be mean to show that you care :/
I agree men can be "mean" but then they're more likely to get over stuff to, instead of making a big deal about it, holding grudges and backbiting etc. Generally.
Whereas it's the opposite for women. Generally.

Re: Mean Girls
this topic concerns "people" MINUS revivalers.

Re: Mean Girls
And the Revival-udes? (you used 'ers' in a general sense so thought i'd combine it with dudes grinnn)

Re: Mean Girls

Truth's_Razors Fri, 19 Nov 2010 - 22:28
Re: Mean Girls
Weeellllll i'm not going to say since it may not be true - i think they should come and defend themselves - THEMSELVES, - guys - guys - guyssssssss?
No answer.
Revivalets? The spelling is good but the word sounds the same so prob not?

Re: Mean Girls

Re: Mean Girls
You didn't say anything - i was talking about the male/female debate in terms of the website - if that makes sense.
