Why does Somali

[@shininglight]

Why does Somali culture have so much gender segregation? It's crazy because I can't even to talk to my cousins without being super awkward? And why do the women and men go separate in weddings? And the same thing in restaurants. Deeply concerning

Retarded tradition in my opinion.
There's a difference between hyper promiscuity and gender segregation.
I prefer the European's vision on gender interractions.

This is a new trend. I remember in the 2000-2012 segregated weddings were a thing mainly fringe people did in the states. Xalimo's used to wear see through baatis at mixed weddings where you could see their bras. Weddings used to be super lit back then. Restaurants were mixed, only the niqabis would asked to be sat in the back.

I heard all of this segregation is very common now. That's a shame.
