Changing trends... Socially

This is one major win for the woman's rights. The ability to actually get jobs that has them physically enter the premises of people requesting the service. But this doesn't come free, it has it's own of risks

For starters, you never know the kind of people you're going to find in there. They might be friendly. But some might be violent and aggressive and might take this opportunity to attempt and take advantage of the service lady.

But it seems that it doesn't stop many women from actually going there. And doing a good job.

Historically, most of the people coming over to do the job have had mediocre training and skills. I know, because for the most part I always had to "clean up" after them. Tying all the loose ends, and making sure everything is on par with what I expect from the service.

With the new change, I noticed that the level of quality is still the same (which is a good thing) it doesn't matter what the gender of the person rendering the service is. They will do a poor job anyway.

Frankly, I feel more comfortable with a lady accessing my house than a man. And I'm sure the many people especially, single women, and families would feel at ease when a lady comes to their home. Compared to scary middle-aged man who may or may not be nice.

So far, the Pizza delivery, the DSL installation, the Satellite have all been handled by women. And I have to add with acceptable results. So I don't really have anything to complain about.

Now comes the amazing contrast with the culture in Jordan. Would women do such jobs? Would husbands/families allow their wives/daughters to work in such jobs? I think not. I doubt we're even close. Worse yet, would people understand that this is a person showing up to provide a professional service (not a personal favor) and let them work!? How long is it going to be before societies in the Arab world are going to change their mentalities?
