First off – I think you are amazing. Every day, you struggle with this and the fact that you remain constant in standing up for yourself and remaining progressive and firm in your beliefs despite your environment, I’d like to say congratulations. I’m an American woman and I get annoyed about sexism in liberal New York City – I can’t imagine your daily life, and how frustrating it must be to constantly treated like a combination of a child, slave, and inferior person.
My question is, do you try to engage people in conversation about the role of women in Saudi society? Or is it too dangerous/pointless/frustrating to even try? Are most women content with their place in society, and men pleased with the status quo?
