تَخاريف نُص مِيتر عَقلُه طَار (98) - الشدائد كاشِفة.

فلطالما كانت الشدائد كاشِفة عن معادن الناس دوماً، تبين حقيقتها، وتظهر كامن صفاتها، فقد تعرف انساناً لسنوات أو لفترات طويلة جداً، ولا تتضح لك منه صفاته، فإذا مرت الشدائد ظهرت صفاته، وتجلي معدنه وأصله، ووضحت تفاصيله، وبانت علاماته منها كوضوح الشمس خلال النهار. وكما أن الشدائد كاشِفة لمقدار الخير في الدين وصلابته وثباته، فإنها أيضاً كاشِفة في أمور الدُنيا، فالشِدة تُظهِر الصديق الحَق دوناً عن غيره، وتُبين فضيلة المرء. فهنيئًا لمن كان مُحاطاً بأصحاب المعادن الثمينة والقلوب الثابتة المُؤمنة المتعلقة بالله.

Eva Mendes and the media

I just came across a piece of news regarding Eva Mendes supporting her husband Ryan Gosling with his movie Lala Land, and the way she is being portrayed by the media just frustrates the hell out of me. Its a crazy racist world. I mean if you choose to work and not have kids, you are not a good woman. If you choose to just have kids, you are not a good woman. If you chose to do both -have kids and work- you are so not a good woman. I guess being a woman means to be critized no matter what and by no matter who and according to all kind of standards. It is not only in the middle east. It is everywhere. WTF world!! :/

Did they even bother to call Eva Mendes and ask her if she found herself forced to stay at home by him? or the society or they just assumed that if a woman decides to stay at home, then she's stupid, oppressed and forced by society to do so? Do you really want women to have their own choice when it comes to life decisions, or do you want them all to fit in what this picture you have in your mind?

I mean instead of treating Eva Mendes like a grownup sane human being that is capable of making her own decisions, the media jumped to the conclusion that she's oppressed and was forced by her "Man" to make this "shitty" job of taking care of her kid.

If a woman decides to stay at home, this doesn't make her in anyway less than a woman who decided to focus on her career. Stop putting people into boxes and prejudging them. Stop treating women like stupid human beings who are being moved around against their will, because they're way much stronger and resilient than that. -_-
