Women Vs Women



For years and years now, women in Egypt have been contradicting themselves in terms of their relationship with their husbands. Women i Egypt always complain about the lack of communication at home as the husband comes back from work and all what he wants is to eat and sleep and refuses to talk. The husbands attitude really bothers women as they spend all their day preparing food and providing a tidy, clean, and relaxing environment for him, but at the same time when women are asked whether that the lack of comunication is the fault of the husband or the wife women always blame it on themselves. They always give their husband excuses by saying that men do all the work and have many problems at work that are more important and critical in what women go through during the day. However, that is not how they feel and it is not true as well. Women are the first to wake up in the morning, wake the kids up, get them ready for school, prepare breakfast, wake her husband up, prepare his clothes, and prepare a decent breakfast for him as well. Her job does not stop here because as soon as the family members leave the house she " turns the house upside down" and starts to clean it while at the same time the food for lunch is in the oven.
Women in Egypt got used to being treated as servants. It became an obligation for her to do everything without a simple "Thank you" in return. Not only that, it became a "new trend" for women to accept their men cheating on them and if the wife knew she would either ignore or blame it on herself and goes through a struggle within her personality and fix her flaws. Such weak attitude from the Egyptian wife plays the role of a "license" for the Egyptian man to do whatever he wants as it will always be her fault. In my opinion, women in Egypt became so weak due to any factors one of paramount importance is illetracy in addition to there is cultural dogmas about women who argue and disagree with their husbands. Thus the lack of comunication strats so women stop talking and men do as well. In addition why would a woman accept cheating over leaving her husband? that itself is considerend ignorance. Not because a woman has to adhere to her cultural beliefs means that she erases her dignity. Therefore, a soloution for this comunication problem is that the man has to give as much as he takes, a man should be more understanding, appreciative, and thankfull to his woman. A positive talk between the two parties should take place every now and then. To sum up, if the two sides worked hard to acheive a good realtionship most of the communication problems between them will be solved and thus the family as a whole will be a more bonded one because at the end of the day a successful comitment between men and women will not be acheived except through positve collaboration between the two sides.
