When I really learn to cut and paste, then I can become a blogger, and enter the new world for real. :)<BR/><BR/>I guess I never wrote to say "Welcome to JP!". I will visit more often and try to encourage you with comments. I'm a free-lance writer, and love it when people respond!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9676534.post-1136713388793238062006-01-08T11:43:00.000+02:002006-01-08T11:43:00.000+02:00Ladies!First, of all, I'm glad I finlly got some c...Ladies!<BR/><BR/>First, of all, I'm glad I finlly got some comments on my blog! I haven't in a while.<BR/><BR/>I can see your points. <BR/><BR/>To Anonymous 1: No, I don't assume the Internet is male dominated. It's clear I'm saying there's a misconception among Arabs that it is (on Maktoob.com, for example, 72% of users are mail, and it's the biggest Arab online community with 5 million users! On Jeeran.com, a near 80% are male...)<BR/><BR/>To Anonymous 2, this article is not about Saudi Arabia society or religious beliefs and I don't think you or I can pass 'fatwa' on what Islamic dress should be like. But, I see you first point about females today being more successfull, and Internet-savy, than males. True, I actually have seen studies that show, statistically, that women are smarter than men.<BR/><BR/>And I remind you all that I clarified my position 3 times during the article before I stated a stereo-type or a misconeption. (the reason also being that it's a column I publish in a Jordanian newspaper, The Star weekly).<BR/><BR/>To Kinz, thanks for the comment. I agree that women have diverse interests, many of which they share with men (politics, business.. etc), but at the moment when someone launches a 'Woman-focused' site they use the content you typically find in Women magazines as a template(even in the US and Europe), and that's why it includes fashion, make-up and others.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I realize that you as a stay-home-mum & Internet user may be even more Internet-savy than many men & women! Good for you.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments. And keep reading!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9676534.post-1136704423316245242006-01-08T09:13:00.000+02:002006-01-08T09:13:00.000+02:00Zeid, I think you forgot to mention that women gen...Zeid, I think you forgot to mention that women generally don't visit porn sites. That would account for a large % of male viewership, I believe. <BR/><BR/>I'm a stay-at-home-mom, and with ADSL, I have to be careful not to overdo it.<BR/><BR/>I don't recall any female JP citizens writing about fashion, make-up, etc. That's not what I want to read about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9676534.post-1136673472928593582006-01-08T00:37:00.000+02:002006-01-08T00:37:00.000+02:00i dont know about women choosing to work or not.. ...i dont know about women choosing to work or not.. what i do know is that my salary is higher than any man's salary in amman... buggers. so have some respect for women and start treating them as your equals.. no need to gather statistics. just do it. the west travelled to the moon you buggers. and your greatest accomplishment as a nation is blogging. as for the saudi problem. i suggest they do what i call... dedressing. i.e. start by wearing black clothes instead of the black abayeh.. for a few years. increase the punishment of men who grope women.. by throwing them in jail.. and maybe whopping their ass with a belt.. yes.. that pleases me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9676534.post-1136673029893357232006-01-08T00:30:00.000+02:002006-01-08T00:30:00.000+02:00i find it funny that you would assume that the int...i find it funny that you would assume that the internet is male dominated.. so i will laugh now. hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe heheheheheheh hehehehehehehehehe hehehehehehe.
