isn't it true that women earn more in the Middle East than in the west? lol the west has painted this picture of the Middle East as this hellhole where women have no rights
Though Emiratis are traditionally conservative, the UAE is one of the most liberal countries in the Gulf, with other cultures and beliefs generally tolerated, especially in Dubai.
However, politically it remains authoritarian. It was the only country in the region not to have elected bodies until 2006, when it convened a half-elected federal assembly, which was however restricted to a consultative role. Although the turmoil of the Arab Spring popular revolts has largely passed it by, the UAE introduced Internet restrictions in 2012 to hinder the use of social media to organise protests, and imprisoned a large group of Islamists on charges to plotting a coup in 2013.
Point taken. But that shouldn't stop them from commenting though. The difference between knowing right from wrong is not so black and white. No pun intended.
And they can, but we will always be there to correct them if they are spewing ignorance on issues they know nothing about and I hope they would do the same for us.
Turkey isn't an Arab country tho. But if we're talking Middle East rather than Arab then I would say Turkey is more liberal than Lebanon, especially when it comes to women's rights.
