Dima:
Thanks
Kinzi:
Thank you very much, but as you can see, you too my wise friend have fallen into the same trap, when I read your comment I see "Men are insensitive", "Men don't understand", "Women are abused as a way of life" don't you find that last statement a massive over exaggeration? I mean, granted some women are abused, same goes to men by the way. But going as far as saying "as a way of life" is vastly over amplified.
Whisperer who will remain anonymous:
I'm not criticizing passionate women, there's a huge difference between passion and Anger. And yes, Male blogs tend to attract women and viceversa.
I'm not sure why you think I'm being rude, I'm not trying to be rude or silly. Nor do I fancy people licking my shoes. I am however talking about a very serious issue that I have been witnessing for a while.
And thank you, alf mabrook.
Rain Drop:
Welcome back my friend, it's been a while :)
Nope, I'm seeing this more and more in Arabic blogs. What triggered me is that I was reading a number of all western women blogs. And although the tend to have other specific patterns (talking about their boyfriends, about their dates, about last night out, ..etc) I didn't see the pattern that I mentioned above.
I absolutely understand that most don't hate men, but it's similar to a collective response. Many I'm noticing are choosing rebellion and anger over anything else.
So you also started talking about disappointments and where it leads, but it's mostly because women tend to over expect from a relationship. And when prince charming, who got the car, the house, the money, the diamond ring and everything else, forgets only the red rose, the planet goes up in flames. (tell me that this has not happened)
The limits of freedom for men and women are set by their locale, I've had male friends who couldn't stay out till 7 pm, and female friends who were allowed to come back home at 4Am. But I agree with you, it is a male dominated society, with loopholes for women who have learned to take advantage of them to their benefit.
I'm yet to come across a women-hate-blog, it's like a Taboo to mention women in any bad way.

What I'm trying to say, is that if a guy, talked in the same exact way to women, he would be buried!

Jumana:
Although I have not generalized, I did mention that a great number of blogs have indeed such issues and content. And yes, absolutely, we base our views on the people we knew, but sometimes we have the ability to observe outside of our environment

Wow, I didn't expect such huge responses!

The prince charming is an example of getting stuck on details. Many don't, and count their blessings, but others don't appreciate the lot for the little. Its not about the specifics in this case, but it's probably my fault for not making it clearer.
And you're right not ALL get angry about someone forgetting things, but lets be a little bit more realistic, many do.
Now you totally took me off guard when you talked about greed, that might be a social direction and we should probably write about you. Make it your next article, and I'd be glad to read all about it.
You had to squeeze "maid" in there didn't you? I for one am TOTALLY against maids, I think it's a form of slavery and would prefer not to get into that discussion, at this point

Kinzi,
I have no doubt that your wisdom and experience far exceeds mine, and I have total respect for that. I also don't disagree that there are certain social norms that really need to change. But I do believe that opportunity is hammering on the door for women in the middle east, it's the best time to actually make something out of it.
I am sure many have gave you hard time, being blond, female, and in Jordan with the kind of ideas some people promote about women of the west. And I sincerely apologize for all of that, these are some of the things that REALLY need to change.
It would be interesting to read the Arab Men are Jerks article sounds very interesting to me, and I'm always proud of you Kinzi

Now, "None of my married friends make it a habit of complaining" which means to me. "They complain", possibly often but it's not habitual (as far as you can see). Well, most Arab men don't complain about their wives AT ALL (except if he's hitting on some other chick to get her sympathy, and .. you know)

Hope, but Abused as a way of life is really an overstatement

Rain Drop, You ARE spoiled! read this: Maid in Amman
It is a form of slavery ... it absolutely is!
If the wife (AND the HUSBAND) do these things, that is fine, they have a family to take care of. But importing slaves to do this job is not

LOL Amal, I can see you're really angry!! :)

Do you think it's enough? Don't you think we need more directed and harnessed anger! Just like nuclear weapons, you can use it for good or for bad! But you need to harness it to be able to use it for good

You know Laila, people like you are examples to be followed, not only by younger females, but also males.
Your success and the amazing career direction you have is definitely admirable to say the least. I'm sure the world wasn't very helpful in your case and you had to earn it it wasn't handed to you on a silver platter
I do feel that you have little anger in you, but you're not raging with it, and you really set a model on how to channel that rage in the right direction. Your career.. Not just anger for the sake of anger towards the other gender. And I admire that in you too.
If anything you and many like you are setting the trends, and shifting the way people look at you, and the way women look at themselves.
