من قال الريال شايل عيبه؟

If it were merely a saying of no real significance but to point out the obvious, or to comment on an event; then perhaps I wouldn't mind, let alone take notice. But that is not its primary function. Rather it is deployed in situations to reason and, slash or forgive actions seemingly unable to escape characterisation outside the border of either, or both being childish/wrong.

Yes, I am suggesting that males consider their actions, speech and gestures without the security of knowing there exists a safety net. This in no way implies that females be given 'more space' or anything of the sort. An understanding of such nature would be just as bad and naive as the belief in the validity of 'il rayal shayil 3aibah'.

Since I strongly believe in religion, I fail to see where it is explained fine that a man do wrong and then be exempt just because of his biological state. On the contrary, punishment is either of the same nature or even exceeds that of a female. This would suggest that 'il rayal shayil 3aibah' is not derived from religion, thus weakening its standing to a high degree.

I also happen to believe in social constraints. To make a long story short, I could think of at least eight different ways how or why males should consider what they say and do to an even higher extent than females when it comes to social factors.

In essence, 'il rayal shayel 3aibah' is nothing but a sad attempt at reasoning wrong-doings based on the misconception of manhood; when infact manhood compels men to take responsibility regardless of exemption.
