In your opinion what is the best way to indirectly help support the Kurdish people? If you don't have the ability to physically go there.

Also thank you for taking the time to conduct this fascinating AMA.

Well since I just found out you are a female, how are you treated? And furthermore how are women who are not foreign? I assume you aren't middle eastern looking from your answers so far.

I've obviously seen and heard that it is night and day compared to most of the Levant - but in your opinion, is it comparable to Western (although not perfect) gender equality?

(Sorry, I have a ton of questions)

My Uncle work for the U.S. in Erbil, until about a year ago. I don't know if that's where you are located, but he said (at least in terms of Erbil) that the people are very kind, especially considering the geographic proximity to a...less than kind part of the world. He worked a lot with people representing the Kurdish government, but said they were relatively moderate and even secular. He also said he felt safe, even though he was relatively close to a war zone.

The Iraqi Kurdish culture has always fascinated me. It just seems so much different than it's surroundings.

Is this your experience thus far? And could you elaborate on your experience, specifically concerning the Kurdish people and culture.

Also, is their a distinct difference between the regional Kurdish people? e.g. Syria vs Turkey vs Iraq
