@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 @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.

@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.
