When it comes to what women want and desire, men are expected and required to "step up," "be a man," and provide financially, even if that means working difficult, degrading, physically-, emotionally-, and psychologically-demanding jobs to get the money needed to pay for females' demands. And, as you can see, men have no choice. Nothing is optional. Pay up or GET LOST.

But when it comes to what men want and desire from a relationship, all of those are mere requests. IF the queen so desires, she may grant your request out of her grace and mercy. Or, she may reject it, and you had better not complain!

Cooking, cleaning, intimacy, taking care of children, etc. These are gifts that a woman may or may not bestow upon her husband depending on how she feels. And, as it turns out, she has read some "gender justice" posts on social media about patriarchy recently and heard her favorite compassionate imam talk about how amazing she is and how toxic Muslim men are, so she is not feeling too charitable towards the male sex these days, frankly. DEAL WITH IT.

If her husband makes a peep of complaint about this, he is literally promoting rape culture. If he cites Quran, hadith, a fatwa, or any other Islamic text about the obligations of a wife, he is literally a rapist because he is using religious texts to coerce her against her will. Also, he is an insecure loser who has to use religion to get his way.

Her best option at this point is to demand a divorce. He clearly doesn't appreciate her and that's emotional and psychological abuse, which legally counts as domestic violence in many countries. Fortunately, the court systems in the West (and increasingly in the East) are there to make sure she gets everything that she deserves. At least half his wealth, alimony and/or child support for the foreseeable future, the house, the car. Obviously, she gets full custody of the kids since he is clearly a violent, abusive man. If he refuses to comply with the court judgment, he will be thrown into prison, where he belongs.

If she wants to go the "Islamic" route, she has plenty of options as well, thanks to compassionate imams ready to step in. She wants a khul`? No problem! No questions asked! Khul` on demand for these poor Muslim queens abused by monsters. And don't worry about the mahr. They'll make sure it is paid in full and then some. They will also do their part to spread far and wide how "abusive" brother so-and-so is and how the deadbeat didn't take care of his wife and children. Maybe it will even get cited in the khutba that week. "Brothers, this is not the Prophetic way," the compassionate khatib frowns, shaking his head in disgust.
