Why are women losing respect for themselves? And men disrespect them?

Question

today you see women smutting(being a hoe) and usin drugs.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, “Civilization is measured by the woman.” If you want to take the world down, the place of attack is the female. If you want to build a world up, you start with the female.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that the first act of creation after the Self-Creation of God, He studied Himself, knowing that it was painful and difficult. He studied Himself and brought from Himself a second self. The female, according to the Bible, is a part of the man. But she is more than a part of man, the woman is the second self of God. Sisters, if you know why you are as you are, it makes it better for you to be yourself.

You are not the woman of man; you are the woman of God. The more men grow to reflect God, then the hearts of women will calm down and you will be more at peace. You are not at peace today. You are very disappointed, disillusioned and hurt by us, because you expected something and did not get what you expected. An illusion attracted you, but reality woke you up. Were you wrong to expect? No. Why do you expect something from a man? The Holy Qur’an deals with the nature of things, because no person can rule unless you understand the nature of that, which you are trying to rule. You must understand your own nature, in order to develop self-mastery.

What is the nature of the woman and what is the nature of the man? The Holy Qur’an says, “Men are the maintainers of women.” It is the natural role of a man to work hard and produce what is necessary to maintain a woman and the children that are produced from that woman. As a maintainer, he is a protector, provider, and he is supposed to guide. You cannot guide a woman with sex, and if a man is dumb enough to think that sex can guide a female, then the marriage falls apart and the relationship tumbles down. Guidance comes from the brain, not from any other part of the body. Guidance must manifest wisdom and since you are the second self of God, then the man must bring to you wisdom and truth that is from God, because the only thing that can maintain the woman of God is the word of God, rightly brought from a man who is in the image and the likeness of God.

When a man works hard to maintain support, guide and protect his wife and family, what comes up out of his wife is a natural desire to console, comfort and give that man peace and quiet of mind. When you fall in love, it makes you want to serve. You do things to please, whether it be in a meal, the way you fix your home, or the way you fix yourself. You try to make it nice for him because he brought that out of you by being what he is supposed to be.

But when he acts the fool, he shuts you down and you do not have any desire to console, comfort, cook or clean for him. You don’t even want to rear his children, especially if they look like him.

Sisters, something has happened to us, as men, and something has happened to you, as women. Something terrible has happened to men because we can attract you, but we cannot hold you. We can give you children, but we do not know how to help you rear them. We can make money, but we are rather selfish. Women have been greatly misused and abused. It is so painful that we live in a world that has raised sex to the level where we get lost in a pleasure that was to create a heavenly existence. The more we get lost in it, the more painful our life becomes. So, having raised sex to the degree that a Satanic mind has raised it, men have lost respect for the second self of God and the second self of self. Men, then, use women for pleasure and discard women as you would a wrapper from a cookie, cake or candy. It was sweet to you, but you cannot use the wrapper, so you throw it away.

Answer 1

I think women lose respect for themselves because, as you said, men mistreat us. However, I know not all women have been mistreated, and not all men mistreat women.

But because so many women have been mistreated, they lose faith in men and lose faith in themselves. Women need to be treated with respect and the love they deserve. If this doesn't happen, I think there will be more problems liske divorce, abused women, and aborted children.

Answer 2

i know you may not want to hear this but here... not all the world is like that. just because the majority of the world is in corruption does not mean that all is lost. that is why we have faith, hope, and trust in God. because without our faith, hope and trust we would be more corrupted than we are now. think how we would be without those connections of belief?... this would seem like heaven. but unfortunatly it isnt. do not judge the world by the falts but deeds. isn't it better to find one deed than many falts in oneself? you are consumed in the bad of the world but how about you look at the good? not all woman and men hate and disrespect themselves and others. i love and respect myself as i do others. there are people out there that do things that inspires me so much, i look up and know that not everything is lost, and that i can help to make the world a better place. for every helping hand is a blessing. there are people that ARE like the olden days. some woman and men still take care of their children and not go though abortion because although they are the other spouses child they are also their own flesh and blood, not all gives them up but cherishes the love there children gives them. not all men treat women as their possesion, there are still men who treat woman as their goddess, their lover, their life mate and more. women and men are not all to blame, for their actions. they have influences to be naughty or nice. and not all are naughty we still have people with great kindness that they overcome the dark and have an influence on the world and change other peoples minds. women are not the only ones who supply comfort. my boy, art gives a helping hand and treats me as his equal, and when i need him he is there, he doesnt abandon me. and i do the same for him. yes i do know men and women that disrespect their own and other gender but do not turn the other cheek and judge them, show them the way. for if you turn on them then you are no better then they are, for you not only give into their influences but disregard them, and in a way belittle them and you dont help the problem but may even be what damages and make the matter worse. im not judging you as a mean person, do not get me wrong, but there are always another side. dont get me wrong, im not an optimis, i do see wrong, but i see the right too. well, i hope my opinion did something except lecture and critized....you made a good point and i see it.
later,
