I’m so fucking tired of this narrative that assyrian men love to push about ‘Assyrians need to marry each other to keep the culture alive’ because rather than recognise their failings

in the way they perceive and treat assyrian women, they’d rather abuse them into settling for the abysmally low standards they set as parents, partners and as men in general.

You call assyrian women sluts and whores, treat us and talk to us as lesser than, and then have misogynistic temper tantrums when we marry outside the community, instead of wondering why we do this and changing your disgusting attitudes.

Imagine telling us that if we marry a nukhraya that WE’RE the ones contributing to our dying culture, when you consistently push these ideas of women being the child-rearers and homemakers. Who do you think are the ones raising their children with the language and traditions?

In a culture like ours where a lot of fathers are in almost every way except physically absent when it comes to parenting, chidren almost always adapt their language, identity & culture from their mothers. Half Assyrian children whose mothers are Assyrian 9/10 times more umtanaye

I’m really fucking sick of the fact that assyrian women have been consistently picking up your slack for centuries. We’re tired of carrying this nation on our backs. Stop abusing us bc we’re starting recognise the worth & significance we bring to our community and continuity.

Time to take some fucking responsibility. Do better. Be better fathers. Be better brothers. Be better men.
