That creates a feeling of effeminacy doesn't it?
So you can't imagine the mighty "warrior race" of Pashtuns associated with effeminacy. But the reality is. Pashtun history is littered with all the same mishaps and shames as any other group of people. Pashtuns have been conquered several times, BUT Pashtuns have also been conquerors. Pashtuns have been invaded, but they also fought back. But Indians also have been conquered and been conquerors. In the end, everyone has the same problems.
You're doing no one any service by trying to create a Mythological Image; this fairy tale that Pashtuns don't have serious social problems like pederasty within the frame of the culture. you're just creating denial and escapism.....just so you can have a Delusional Ethnic Fairy tale to hide behind.
This is why I'm calling you out as a Wannabe. You don't look at Pashtuns realistically, you don't live in the real world ...you live in story books.
