Perhaps it is too much to expect logic from a fasting man.

It is well known that fasting men complain more than fasting women. Fact.

But the hierarchy of complaints is becoming increasingly doltish.

Over the last ten days, men have been complaining that their wives are leaving them at home with the children after iftari to pray taraweeh prayers in the mosque.

Oh the horror.

It’s enough that women are expected to cook and continue the mundane quotidian chores while they are fasting.

But to be reprimanded for wanting to maximise on the blessings of this month is a new one.

It’s as if men own Ramadan.

And no doubt they will twist some verse or hadith or fatwa to show that they should indeed monopolise the holy month.

And you know that the system has somewhat broken down when men are complaining that their wives won’t provide them with their obligatory nocturnal duties because they would prefer to pray or read Quran.

One self -professed scholar declared that wives should be actively flirting with their husbands as much as possible during this year’s Ramadan, as it is difficult for man to lower his gaze in the summertime.

It gives the new hashtag #ramadanproblems a whole other spectrum.

This emphatic obsession with complaining knows no boundaries.

These hapless men are even begrudging their food.

As we are becoming more health savvy, many a fasting man now has to forgo the traditional fried snacks upon opening the fast, replaced instead with…wait for it…a proper meal.

Honestly, Ramadan is turning women into irrational, nonsensical creatures.

Yes, indeed, this Ramadan has been particularly gruelling for men. Especially for those brothers who are sneaking out to watch those late night World Cup matches under the pretext of reading taraweeh prayers in the mosque.

As if the 19 hour fasts weren’t challenging enough.

We try our best to explain to non-Muslims that Ramadan is not simply about starving ourselves and being modern day martyrs.

We tirelessly promote the religion of peace.

Why not teach ourselves the importance of inclusivity and equal rights?

Where are the dogmatic #ramadanpolice when you need them?
