@kaia living among Muslims, the only thing Allah really seems to care about is pork
-
@kaia depends on the country tbh. Every German woman I know in the Emirates says that they feel respected here, and not in Europe
-
@lain it's a very good religion (for men). I read Burton's 'Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al Madinah and Meccah', which is very cool
-
@lain @kaia I feel the usual narrative about women in the Middle East is far from the actual opinions of women living there. Depends on where and who, of course.
-
@besserwisser @kaia people here will happily tell you the differences between Saudi, Qatar, lebanon, and so on. It's just a very different situation overall.
-
@lain @kaia rest of my family lived in UAE for a few years and that was definitely not my mom's opinion of it
but then again she only has two semesters worth of experience about the horrors of living in germany
-
@eal @kaia UAE Emirates are different, and living as house wife is different, and a few years make a lot of difference too. So I'm not saying "it is like this, 100%". I'm just saying what I see and hear right now.

@lain @kaia Well yeah they send all their rapists to europe
-
@triodug @kaia Americans be silent
-
@lain @kaia I'd assume that the majority of westerners end up in dubai and that being a house wife would not have improved the view that much, maybe half a decade would
>not saying "it is like this, 100%".
yeah, this was basically the point, those who stay evidently like it there but it's not everyone that does
