In this podcast episode with Yusra Amjad, a Pakistani poet and outspoken woman, known for sharing her dating experiences and insights on life in Pakistani society. We discuss what it’s like to date as a Pakistani woman, the qualities of reliable men, navigating online dating, and the red and green flags to watch for. We also explore dating in highly patriarchal societies, including western countries, and question whether white men are really as different as they're often made out to be. Are they truly the more "civilized" ones?
We touch on how many men slut-shame women who openly talk about dating, as if it’s something only men should control. Plus, we talk about how male projections shape perceptions of men, and how outspoken women—especially those who don’t tolerate misogyny—are often seen as easy to love but hard to handle.
Please note, some of the experiences shared may be triggering. Take care of yourselves, and know that you're not alone.
