Orthodox Jew here. Found you by searching “do Muslims hate Jews” and watched your amazing video. This one is also great. Glad I found you. Thank you and God bless. My goal is to learn more about Islam to overcome any bias or prejudice.

[NumMyr]

Best articulated words on feminism, even popular speakers like jordan peterson can't express it the way u have done it. I didn't feel conflicted rather i see tye perspective of other gender . Both genders need to have mutual compassion. Islam is certainly the way to achieve it

[lapis_lazuli]

I think one of the most pernicious things is that they make you resent the other gender and blame them for all your problems. It's hard but empathy is the way to not get sucked into it. Men and women have it tough in different ways

[glokta]

It would be nice if you could also put a list of 'recommended readings' on these types of videos.

[alib]

To use a rather pedantic analogy, this and other many great Islamic YouTube channels are now my new 'Netflix'. The difference is it's highly beneficial instead of garbage.

Alhamdulillah.

[al-lail]

Ya Allah SWT, protect and preserve Brother Tom and broadcast his words to the entire world. Grant him increase in clarity and knowledge. Let his words reach the hearts and make him a source of guidance for all. Ameen ya Rabbil Aa'lameen

[MrSaifkamal]

The solution is simple: Follow the Quraan and Sunnah. Islam is your paradigm, not Feminism or Red-pill. If there're some overlapping between divine guidance and man-made ideologies, it just means those man-made ideologies got it right on that particular issue, nothing more.

[najouajones]

You concluded magnificently & that's perfectly right by me.
Thank you Imam Tom for talking about this sensitive topic.

[danielmasters]

I really appreciate your videos. They are insightful and informative. May God Almighty bless you!

[irened]

Agree and just a side note a lot of us from south Asian, cultural the emphasis was on women being bad so a lot of us started to go towards feminism in order to combat that.
Alumdulillah I am glad I found the truth.I recently, after many years, was in contact with female relatives of my generation and I was saddened by their anti men sentiment, not in words, but attitude and guess, weak men and to be honest I didn't know what to say.they were running empires whilst the world, their world fell apart

[junayedmustofaghalib]

The diagnosis of the schism in the gender interactivity by the red pill is astonishingly accurate, however their prescriptions are not only futile but also destructive at times.

[kfie]

Imam Tom you make things easy to understand. There is peace in your videos. i have this odd temperament that i get very angry reading these ideologies that are clearly harming society yet people don't abandon them. you maintain a balance which is very important to understand people. thank you for uploading these videos and giving some sense to my scatter brain 🤣

[ef]

this was excellent, would love to hear more on this topic if you have other points to elaborate on :)

[keithnash]

Great video, I would love something more long form on this topic from you if you ever saw fit.

[shahnazmalik]

Astaghfirullah YARABB may ALLAH help us follow commands exactly Aameen YARABB

اَلرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَٓاءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ وَبِمَٓا اَنْفَقُوا مِنْ اَمْوَالِهِمْۜ فَالصَّالِحَاتُ قَانِتَاتٌ حَافِظَاتٌ لِلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ اللّٰهُۜ وَالّٰت۪ي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّۚ فَاِنْ اَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ سَب۪يلاًۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِياًّ كَب۪يراً

Nisa 34

Men are stronger than women, as men have been provisioned by Allah over women and tasked with supporting them financially. And righteous women are devoutly obedient and, when alone, protective of what Allah has entrusted them with. And if you sense ill-conduct from your women, advise them ˹first˺, ˹if they persist, ˺ do not share their beds, ˹but if they still persist, ˺ then discipline them ˹gently˺.2 But if they change their ways, do not be unjust to them. Surely Allah is Most High, All-Great.

[ghaliyahansari]

JazakumAllahukhairan Imam Tom for addressing the nuance.

[Mr.Jasaw]

From my study I understand feminism in the west as a response, but not to a necessarily real grievance women were experiencing, cus if the argument that lack of autonomy was the issue, or political involvement, or general inequalities then that'd apply to Islamic teachings and historical experiences, maybe to a lesser degree but similar in quality. To better understand this perspective is to understand the voting issue in its context as a case in point; the voting which was attached to selective service or drafting, among other responsibilities, which is why majority of the women, at that time, were not for a voting right cus it implied responsibilities women didn't want or found unreasonable for a woman, with a nature she has, to have. Rather feminism was a response to an artificial grievance, liberalism's philosophical implications (individualism, autonomy, sovereignty) that seemed to be inconsistently applied in colonies and at home (as often these "first feminists" were making an argument that other races had more value or same as European white women - yes, they WERE racist), as feminism or a type of a knowledge structure which reflected some of the feminist narratives and principles, was imposed on the colonies to destabilize colonised societies for the obvious colonisers interests hence some of the first proponents of feminism being men, that were "feminists" abroad but "traditional" at home. While redpill, though wrong in its solutions, diagnoses the situation that is in line with both science and human experience and Islam; so concepts like hypergamy, alpha maleness, SMV, gynocetrism etc.. essentially, though crudely, describes the reality that we recognise and that is implicitly taught in Islam. Feminism never reflected the real situation but rather an ideological vision. So we shouldn't approach this issue reductively and comiting what is essentially known as middle ground fallacy. Allah knows the best, but I haven't been convinced by any "modest" approach to gender dynamics, and i read quite a few of their works, it's always lacking depth and range, as if limited by political correctness or some sort of 'intellectual phase locking'. Red pill, as I see it, is uncovering certain knowledge that has been buried by the liberal obfuscation of nature.

JazakAllah Khayre as always for your clarity of thought and your clarity of talk! 🙂

[fatimah]

My dear child
Your Lord did not create amongst you
Male and female
Beautifully different
Physically and mentally
To rage war amongst yourselves
Or to vie with each other
He created you such
That you may live in harmony
Supporting each other
Through balanced roles
Prescribed by Allah
So do not be confused
By the turmoil around you
All over the World
It is not backwards or suppressive
To respect and serve each other
Learn about the values
That Islam has already presented you
And stick to them
❤
