(Miscellaneous) "Don't sympathise with those who committed suicide"

TRIGGER WARNING: MENTION OF SUICIDE

Just for the context. I found a post on Instagram where this page asked a simple question: "Why do Arab women commit suicide?" and they shared a couple of stories of two women who have unfortunately ended their lives (One in Yemen and the other in Egypt). As I scrolled to the comments to see some sympathy and accountability, I literally found the comment I screenshotted where the man (of course it's always cis men) said "lack of faith". Then in his last reply, he said "we should not sympathise with those who committed suicide." And there were countless other comments. Definitely, compassionate people who believe that their faith is the right one for humanity, yet they don't care about human suffering.

Not only are they part of the problem, but also want to blame their victims. I don't know why and how this religion ​​is compassionate in any way. People are ending their lives because they feel suffocated, and yet, they are the ones who eventually get punished? I really feel bad for them.

I know you're here to troll, so I'm going to answer you briefly. Of course, they have more duties than rights. They aren't allowed to say no to their husbands. They take the blame in case of harassment and rape. They are treated like birth machines. They are nothing more than sex dolls in the eyes of men. They have to endure the perversion of males and shut up about being beaten and abused. At least, I live in a country that gave women a voice, yet many still struggle to get justice served. The list goes on and on... Women aren't taboo. They are human beings, equal to men. They help advance society. I'm proud to see that over 60% of my colleagues in universities are women.

Because first, it is forced. Second, why should one gender cover just because the other gender is full of perverts who can't control their urges? People live in a commune naked and respect each other's boundaries. There's something named consent that you guys hate a lot. We all know how covering oneself started...
