Gender segregation in Maqayads.

[Throughbred]

Usually there is private /family sections , which is good thing .

Do you have personal beef with reer UK restaurants? Why are you always talking about them

 

[Rayaale]

There’s no gender segregation in restaurants in Somalia or East Africa in general.

This is the 2nd time . My ajnabi friend wants to go tomorrow so I started searching up places and I noticed the sister rooms trend so it got me thinking.

Watch out for my review series coming soon. I'm just joking, I'm shaqalaan but not that shaqalaan.

There are women's "only" cafes but actual gender segregation is not as widespread as south asians are. Those people sometimes sound like they're scared of the opposite sex. I'm also seeing this trend of younger Somalis picking up this habit from them, telling Somalis that out gender integration is haram etc. The care free way older Somalis talk to each other regardless of gender seems to be dying

I saw a women’s cafe in Garowe once years ago. Smart business model.

I hear Garowe has a lot of business opening up mashallah. It has the potential to be an incredible city. I also hear it's more peaceful. I'm not certain though.

These UK muppets copied the gender wars but not the educational attainment and prospering careers . How is this even possible?

 

[Sol]

Nah, it's an option in some places but it's very normal for restaurants to be mixed even back home from vids I've seen

A Somali restaurant I used to go to with my mother as a kid had segregated seated, but it was just a little curtain that separated the women & men.

that was the only Somali restaurant in the UK I have been to.

 

[Burqad]

Somali houses traditionally had separate living rooms for men and women, and more well-off houses had separate kitchens too. If I go to a restaurant with no gender separation or couples section I assume it’s automatically qaladized food.

Being around men you're not married or related to, is actually overrated. I've been to gender-segregated places in arab countries, and let me tell you, it's amazing. Blissful even. And quiet as its kept, a lot of women feel much happier and safer without non-mahrems around.

In an ideal world, all men are well-behaved, but we live on earth, and nobody wants to look over their shoulder 24/7.

I want to see more women women-centric places everywhere on earth.

What did older Somalis really gain from free-mixing with men? Didn't they all end up being hooyos who taught their daughters to be careful of men?

Women should be afraid of men, not all men, but a good chunk. If we consider the fact that most women have encountered perverts or know someone who has been assaulted, molested or sexually harassed by a man.

Ideally women and men interact with each other politely and when necessary, but the male gender has too many disordered beings for that to be realistic. Gender segregations/mahrem is to protect women from these kind of beings. Even when they are 'courting' girls, I think they need to be supervised, investigated and grilled by their own gender who can read through their bullshit.

Women are harmed more by men than they are harmed by wild animals, but we've been taught to think it's extreme to be careful of men, when our own creator, Allah SWT, has guidelines for how to interact with them.

If people want Somali restaurants/Somali cuisine to become popular then yes, they need to get rid of separate seating. I guess it can work if they stick to only appealing to muslim customers but if they want non-muslim appeal then it has to go. I don’t think it’ll be complicated tbh I’ve never seen genuine segregation. They can have normal seating + separate seating for muslims who want it. I’ve been to Somali restaurants in places where there are barely any Somalis and the seating is always mixed because the place is typically tiny. Those hole in the wall places that are usually frequented by truckers are the best imo

because somali men tend to hang out at cafes in large groups without their families, and they make it intimidating for female customers. Has anyone ever walked through the male dominated cafés? it's like you walked into the shark enclosure

 

[EainA2]

Yeah some but not all.



A review a white girl left at my local maqayd

It's your typical adeer, earphones in, toothpick in his mouth. If you ask what's in the food, he'll just say rice and chicken or meat like that's all you need to know.

 

[Chaseyourdreamzz]

Usually there’s a women’s/family section in these restaurants not all though

Imagine a group of young girls sitting next to a bunch of uptis talking loudly about qabiil and politics

My only reference is online too. I don't like scrolling through Somali tags online rhoughz I always end up seeing the most insane 30 second clip that makes me question life.

 

[Basra]

I keep hearing about a women's section, or segregated seating in some UK Somali Maqayads on tiktok. Is this true? And is it common in Somalia too?

What is Qaladized? Qalad as in wrong?

This is the first I'm hearing of gender separated housing. Is this still common today amongst wealthier families?

I can see this being appreciated amongst hijabis. I hear people visit other houses freely so hijabis might appreciate it.
