Z3R0 | 8 years ago | Reply "Challenge men" that is sexism at its finest!
Rizwan | 8 years ago | Reply Looks hilarious when the same women whine when men say you can't beat us. No one is superior in this world except the "muttaqee", be it men or women. Teach tolerance, love and acceptance across all genders instead of bragging the "you can't beat me"
