My brother's swimming instructor is a halimo

[Ciyaalka Xaafada]

That would be horrible. I know Somali adeers and eedos that have taken up swimming to be come more "istraaliyan".

Somalis girls honestly aren't encouraged to be physically active in their homes. Most of my friends, may they be Western-born or from back home weren't allowed participate in the same activities as their male counterparts were. No playing soccer outside with the boys. No joining of school or local sports team. No swimming lessons because no women only pools, etc. I even had several friends who never learnt how to ride a bike due to their mother's worries of them losing their "virginity".

The lack of activity coupled with the horrible diets Somalis stuff themselves with nowadays has lead to the obesity we see today in our community.

This is dumb. I understand protecting their virginity but at least let them be physically active in other ways.

If I lived in Australia I too would have learnt how to swim and other survival skills coz the animals and insects you got over there are no joke

@Regg female only gyms are not widely accessible for everyone. Also a lot of female only swim classes in London have male instructors which defeats the purpose. Instead of shaming women try to think critically about the reasons why and not jump to conclusions.

It's not an excuse it's an explanation.

Again, those are poor excuses not to do anything.

There are always other alternatives. You can take a walk, jog, skip or ride a bike for 30 minutes at broad daylight.

You can always do bodyweight excercise at home with all the free information we have on the internet or buy equipment if you have a space.

It’s very, very and VERY rare to see one that exercise. It’s always the Arab women and they’re known to have one of the most strictest parents in the world.

Honestly, it makes me disgusted and ashamed when we have an obese epidemic.

 

[Sloane Ranger]

@Regg I'm not even speaking from personal experiences lol. I've been practising MMA for afew years and workout from home because of the pandemic. Let's not pretend that other women are in shape and Xalimos look sloppy. That's far from the case.

You're point was that these facilities were widely accessibile and I explain how thats not the case. For every overweight Xalimo you will see at least 2 fellow fattys or an underweighy farax. This goes both ways.

The animals and insects are exaggerated. If you go into the countryside then of course you will see some wild sh*t but in the cities everything is calm.

In school, they give swimming lessons and some schools get reptile experts to come so you can be calm with spiders and snakes.

I have never seen a dingo, crocodile, platypus or koala. So no.

Australian whites that are of anglo-saxon origin (i.e the og whites) are 50% super racist or 50% chill, there's no in between. The main problem is that Rupert Murdoch has a stranglehold on media here.

In America, Rupert owns Fox. In Australia, he and other conservatives own almost every major or local newspaper, many mainstream tv networks and the largest pay tv service.

Essentially, there are two media conglomerates in Australia: Fairfax (traditionally left) and News Corp (traditionally right). Fairfax is currently owned by a mining billionaire who has a former conservative politician as CEO. News Corp is owned by the owner of Fox News.

You need to take into account cultural preferences though. Somali girls are raised to think being bigger is better because that is our unfortunate beauty standard.
