Maybe we should do testosterone tests on the Faraxs and see what you're saying is really true or not.

Because I haven't noticed any effeminate behavior at all. Are we skinny oftentimes? Of course. Do we have no sense of rhythm while dancing? Definitely

But that doesn't mean anything. There is no effeminacy amongst us.
You clearly have never visited Somalia. Dude most Somali guys between 15-30 are as effeminate as fuck. Somali guys back home are not manly at all, they are either neutral or effeminate. Usually its the older guys that are neutral.

Listen I know ur a proud Somali and you defend us well. But sometimes we have to admit to our faults to correct them. Lets not be so defensive all the time. Besides this is our forum, not like non-Somalis will know our affairs.
On what planet is it masculine to sit here and gossip about men and study their body types and movements? The irony of a dude making an effeminate post about effeminate men is just simply too much lol.

You must be 13 or something. Somalis who come strictly from miyi are some of the hardest dudes you'll ever find. Do you know what it takes to survive in that environment?? These people will murder you for disrespecting them. They will literally gut you like a pig.

Also, different cultures have different standards for masculinity so it's all relative in the end. People from the horn have certain customs that would be regarded as "effeminate" here in the West such as men holding hands etc..

Teeda kalena Somalis from the South (Xamar) have different mannerisms than those from waqooyi so it's not like there is a monoculture which we all share.

Lastly, maybe your peoples back home are gay in which case you shouldn't be speaking for all of us. :pacspit: :pacspit:

Bro ximan, it is all about different cultures. Have you ever seen a Russian smile? A friend of mine told me In Russian culture, smiling is a feminine trait - just go to google images and search "Putin"

When I went to Somalia, I was told not to thank people for minor things as it makes u look weak and feminine. It is all about where u r.
I know this point. Which I previously said that certain things are subjective and different cultures have different opinions on what can be considered feminine and manly.

However my points were mostly things that are not subjective and something that is oblivious to the eyes. Such as how a person walks, talks and interacts/body language.
How is bullshyt such as "the way they talk" not subjective? :Puhlease:

The funny thing is Arabs and other foreigners always make fun of us for having deep voices and generally being loud and disorderly.. these are not traits that are associated with femininity.

As for most of us being skinny and elongated, take that up with God.

I was not expecting this from you of all people sxb. :snoop:

Just because I criticise the sad state of the Somali man and the stark reality we live in, you imply I have the problems? In no way in any shape or form does this detract any merit from my views. I can be proud to be Somali, a true patriot and still criticise my brothers.

I mean seriously, instead of actually addressing this you want me to push things under the rug? If your brother was doing doing hard drugs, commiting zina and that balaayo nonsense wouldn't you criticise him?

It's called tough love sxb.
I'm just not big on generalisations.

But I know what you mean, however tough love never works on people after a certain point. We as young men and women need to bring up our children better than our fathers and mothers. I do have family members who are not succeeding in material life, but what I find funny is that often times they are actually better human beings than the so called peeps in my family who are succeeding from peoples perspective. The former tend to be extremely selfish and backstabbing, whereas these guys are often times genuine and even humble despite all of their problems.

Cultural issues like Qaad and FGM need education, and there are many who are working towards making improvements. Many families no longer practice FGM and there are activists who campaign against drugs like QAAT, people like Abukar Awale. Basically what I am saying is to make a change we need a positive, resilient can do way of thinking rather than wallowing on our problems, insulting others and calling it "tough love". I see that this is something that you have a lot of feelings towards, but my criticism was not in anyway meant to offend but to just offer an alternative. Cheers sxb :up:
I admit I can be crass sometimes, but I guess it's just this feeling of hopelessness that prevails over me when I see Somali men do stupid shit like making that west African male marrying some xalimo bimbo thread that had all these faggots hyperventilating. We have more urgent problems to attend to and deal with than worry about who some broad decides to marry.

I can see where your coming from though. But I think there should be a balance. You can still have good qalbii and provide for the family and be successful at the same time. I've noticed many Somalis tend to bring that point up for some reason though. :|

All I want is greatness for my people, yet everyone just ignores me as if these issues don't exist or just do some stupid shit like honing in on some irrelevant bullshit on my posts whilst my points go completely flying over their heads. The reason why I generalise is because waa ruunta. the vast majority of us are pretty much screwed, whether we can overcome this, only Allah knows. :Shrug:

I can still love my people and be a patriot while criticising them to be better overall human beings. It's my right and duty to do so. :up:
It takes years, possibly decades, of hands-on, on the ground, field work to make a positive change. None of us have all the answers, but degrading us and airing our ceeb in public, as if Somalis aren't stigmatised enough as it is, is not the way forward sxb. You have your heart in the right place, but you're making this about you and your frustrations when it should be about the best way for us to move forward as a people. This ain't it.

Also, like I said, most of us here are first generation refugees. Some of the people who came here were not suited for this environment. They thought that they could just continue their marfash culture and never adapted to their new surroundings. Those people are basically lost and it's on us to pick up their mess and clean up after them.

Their kids lack father figures and positive role models - we have to provide that. They lack help and support- we have to provide that. These kids don't need to be put down and demoralised since they're already suffering from a multitude of inferiority complexes. What you're doing is very counterproductive, even though you mean well.

Oops - this is cruel topic yet truthful
I think it down to the fact most muslim men are raised by women - generation after generation - obviously they are gonna take after those who raised them.
I met very few Somali men who are Masculine men but I guess that's what makes unique. We just have to accept it.

Somali men are historically known as warriors don’t let the skinny build fool you. We fought off every invader. All the diaspora Somali kids those skinny Farah’s in Canada the us and London are terrorising the streets and partake in the majority of gang violence. A lot of these skinny Farah’s have bodies lol. Wallahi don’t let the skinny build fool you. I remember one cadaan British guy wrote a book talking about this exact thing how when you look at these Somalis they look skinny but if you fight them it’s as though you’re fighting a man twice his size. I forgot the book and the author. My point is being skinny doesn’t make you feminine Somalis were never enslaved during a time when many ethic groups across Africa were enslaving each other. We won every war. The only war we lost was Ogaden and that was because they got the Russians to back them. You can’t be feminine and win so many wars lol. Somali men in general are very homophobic you cannot be feminine and homophobic that’s literally a juxtaposition. Cushtics are born with their features the skinny build softer hair those aren’t feminine traits. Those skinny Somali kids in losndon are winning every beef they’re involved in lol. Somalis vs west African. Fearless warriors. Of course there’s gay/beta/ feminine men in every culture but they are a minority especially in the Somali community. Somalis are hotheads we literally each other over stupid clans. If Somali men were feminine there would be no civil war they would have ‘talked it out’ like women. Instead they got their ak47’s out and blasted each other till there was no one left. Stop this silliness I know a lot of these reply’s are sellout Somali girls pretending to be men using this as an excuse to put down their own men lol. You can marry whoever you want without spreading lies and nonsense.

The self hate is real with this one lol.
Lol, typical ape. Instead of addressing my points, he dismisses them by claiming I'm a self hater.

Criticising your people to help them and raise awareness of issues =/= hating yourself you dumbass.

How do people think like this?! :wtf:
