Dear Hoda,
I've read your messages so many times and I actually wanted to take
sometime thinking about them in order to give a propoer answer.
First of all I guess we all believe strongly that el shella is a big
lovely family for all of us, and exchanging opinions will never as we
say in Arabic Yofsed lelwed Qadia! I do not understand why some
people took some of the replies as attacks and sometims personal
attacks! I do not think that this is or was ever the case.
As a second response to your email, I never tried to say that women
have reachd their status thanks to men or wheather they are open or
narrow minded. If you go back to your emails and my response, I guess
you will find that you have contradicted your self a lot.
I would like to emphasise the fact that women liberty is NOT
imaginery in the Arab world, women here DO NOT think of food and
sleeping only all the time, it is NOT TRUE that men like strong women
but do not marry them anyway!! (a bit waerd statement but ok!), it is
NOT TRUE that culture and tradition made Arab women brainless!!!!
Am sorry Hoda but all the above is just not true!
Do not take it that personal and this is not an attack as some might
describe it, I just think that it is not fair to blame others when we
fail.
What is tradition and culture in the Arab world?? it is you, me, my
friend, your father, my mother, her brother, his grandpa and so on.
WE MAKE OUR LIVES, WE DARW OUR LINES WE BUILD OUR ROADS TO EITHER
SUCCESS OR FAILURE.
And this does not apply on women only, it applies also on men.
Regards and all the best to all
Maha Yassine
