Good content. I'm someone who was raised by my mum, dad wasn't around, with a very willful older sister to boot. It's definitely affected me. Most especially I've found in adult life - I just didn't think about these things before a certain age - that unless there's a woman pushing me to do something, to the point of doing it herself even (looking for jobs etc.), I won't do it. I'm also easily swayed - in my feelings - against doing something if someone says (be they male or female) it's a bad thing etc - basically, I'm easily led. In some ways! In other ways you can't lead me at all and I'm very independent minded. But socially - in social situations - this is where it affects me. In terms of "simping", I'd never heard of this until recently. I'm a Muslim now, and Muslims are not meant to mix in any social way with women who are not their family. Having this barrier - emotionally - is extremly helpful. I have my "boss" - as you say of your father - I have my prophet, and I know that whenever I'm straying from this, or if I'm getting into trouble, it's because I've strayed from his example and the guidance sent down. So I don't need to be a big strong man in the old fashioned sense - no disrespect to that, I mean it's an impossiblity for me given my upbringing etc. - I just need to stick to a simple guide. Am I following the way of Islam? Is this woman following the way of Islam? So it's not my will against her will, and I don't need to be worrying about am I simp etc. The only question is, am I doing what I should as a Muslim? (Sorry, bit long, but wanted to fesh out my thoughts. Peace.)

Also, and this may be resentment playing itself out, but I had developed in adulthood a certain - how can I put it - disdain for women, when it comes to the influence in important areas of public life. I can see how the feminisation of our culture has led to many problems - policemen thinking they're social workers for example - victims lionised at the expense of justice - but this observation would manifest itself in quite anti-social ways. What do I mean? I mean that it would come out sounding angry and resentful and just turn people away. This is where the extremes lead us - feminiism and its reaction - whereas the proper balance provides, indeed, complete balance, in terms of our social roles and inner emotional lives.... One other point, you mentioned about your experience as a black man. I think this is relevant as well - and always appreciate your frankness in discussing race issues - being a man in a mixed racial environment. We inevitably influence and "rub-off" on one another. You see urban culture - in fact British culture in general - it is disproportionately "black-influenced", if I can put it like that. Not in a good or bad sense, that's just how it is. If you turn on the radio, it's mainly "music of black origin" - beats, rhymes - and white kids in this country are growing up without a culture of their own, which reflects them, other than the simpy guitar music stuff, which is really painful. Nothing assertive. I don't know where these reflections lead, but I think it's undoubtedly true that black culture dominates now. Again as a Muslim, I'm half-out of this, because I shouldn't really be listening to music, and in Islam, most if not all modern music is viewed as a gateway to sin, the whisperings of Shaytan. Simpin' or Pimpin', no bruv. Get married, have children... One more thing I would say though, on this question, is that in Islam this sense of inferiority
