Female students forced to sit behind fence for Saeed Anwar's speech at Peshawar University

[MMHS]

As much as I personally find this ridiculous, Saeed Anwar has every right to do so.

Even in the west, a few concerts/festivals have been organized where no males have been allowed and a few traditional Jewish synagogues have seperate rooms for males and females.

It’s not separation in terms of sitting arrangements bro, it’s discrimination in terms of gender - women are considered inferior to men and not encouraged to decision making, or other “manly” tasks.

In Islam, there is only one issue where females are not considered equal (as far I know) - Islam doesn’t suggest Women leadership of a nation or society. But, after 30 years of Bangladesh under two ladies; my respect for the Prophet (PBUH) and his visions have grown further - He somehow must had visualised Bangladesh under Khaleda- Hasina 1400 years back!!!!!!

Separate rooms for males and females is fine no issues but asking them to sit behind a fence is discriminatory, if u dont hav space and money to provide two separate rooms as per Saeeds request then say no to him, we dont have that facility here simple, are university void of thinking men and women.

Have separate rooms, and telecast his speech via big projector or tv for the females. If they have to ssit behind a fence and hear his voice only then it is inequality and gender discrimination.
Saeed is not a saint and nobody is in this world, after enjoying all their years knowingly being in the religion and now after 35 years of entertainment growing beard and talking like saints i hate. M
Seen many if these moulvis who talk dont follow it themselves when they are faced with a tough or double edged sword kinda situation.

I don't have any problem with men only clubs or women only clubs. But on important community events like weddings all members of families are invited, there aren't separate events for men and women, it is a shared event.

That said, for those who want to separate men and women on the happy occasion, they have the right to do so, I just gave my personal opinion that I would avoid those events mostly. I attended a Hazara wedding this year and that was segregated, and I found myself sitting with a bunch of strangers. It was all a bit dull.

That's great, that is your personal opinion and it is different to the opinions of others, learn to live with that and avoid it if you don't like it. I for one dislike alcohol so avoid most events which have alcohol present. No loss for me.

What makes you think I didn't learn to live with it? I already said I go to those weddings I feel comfortable at, and try to avoid others where I don't. Where I feel absolutely obliged to attend a segregated wedding I will do so and make the best of it. Incidentally, it might be segregated weddings are absolute barnstormers of fun and happiness. I don't really have much to go on since I have attended very few so my views are somewhat limited.

You brought it up and also mentioned "that I would avoid those events mostly." For me that is fine, if you don't want, you don't have to go. I think people just need to stop bringing it up, because as I said, no one brings up men or women only clubs.
