A Thread of Things My Mom Taught Me About Men: https://twitter.com/sassysultanate/status/1247960578829611013">https://twitter.com/sassysult...
Better to be known as a confident âb*tchyâ woman than one that is soft because softness will attract ppl who want to take advantage. Donât laugh at their jokes or smile at them. (Iâm dead serious)
If you are a woman who lives alone, never tell anyone. She insisted I say my bro lives with me the first year of school because men only respect other men.
When an Imam started stalking me it was my own school that said âthis is why u must have a mahramâ instead of stopping him

It took me grabbing him by the NECK outside my job on the night shift with a witness and also threatening him with deportation for him to stop

I noticed that it seems they think if ur disenfranchised/alone/estranged from fam that you are like easy pickings cause no one will care abt you or that you deserve it for living without a mahram. Itâs the ones calling u fitnah for being alive that are chasing u & not respectful
She would tell me not to wear anything nice to class, no makeup, grow my mustache out LOL cause these are the first men to say that u deserve harassment for being a fitna. Personally these things donât make a difference because they are attracted to anything with a pulse..
Never take help from a man if he offers it suddenly and privately cause he will try to shame/coerce you with it later and knowing our society like the blame will be on you regardless.
Donât see anyone as an uncle/trust them on the basis they are old because thereâs no man who is truly paternal. non Mahrams generally will never see u as daughter or niece just potential second wife or side babe https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Upside-down face" aria-label="Emoji: Upside-down face">
Only (1) old Muslim man has proven this wrong so far

If you live on campus alone never let non mahram know where you are living or know ur routine. It can open a lot of issues. Donât have people drop u off directly by ur housing door/ let them carry bags for u to ur door etc.
There might be generalizing in this thread but Iâm just relaying the lessons of my mommy + my experiences. Better safe than sorry https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Upside-down face" aria-label="Emoji: Upside-down face">
As a side recommendation: putting a beware of dog sign on your door and large menâs shoes outside your door is something thatâs recommended to discourage robberies/ppl with bad intentions.
