Dear BillCowher,
But they're both the same in this respect: Neither has any choice about what they come in.
Regards,

The sexism is in the hands of the Saudi men (sub-human creatures they are) who dress their women in those potato sacks. |

And I suppose you came to that profound conclusion based on the many discussions of the issue you've never had with all of the many Saudi women you've never met?
Look, you have every right to feel hard done by your experience, even if you ignored the ample warnings about such situations on this board. However, posts like the above, apart from being so stupid they would make a 12 year old cringe, are beginning to sound like the rants of a deeply embittered person. You chose to come here to work for these 'sub-human creatures' and I dare say that had they treated you well (and yes, some of these 'sub-human creatures' do, if you are qualifed and clever enough to choose wisely) you'd still be here taking their money quite happily. It's perfectly possible to warn others of your experience, and discuss the unscrupulous labour practices all too common in the Kingdom without indulging in vulgarity and silliness.
You say you have been to KSA before - therefore you'll have known the rules about pork, segregation etc. If they bothered you that much, why did you choose to subject yourself to them again? Seems to me that you are protesting just a little bit too much. |

| In any case, many Gulf-area national women like things the way they are. So be it--I don't care. I don't even teach them now. |

Not to mention that under those abayas that they, as often as not, choose to wear are some drop-dead gorgeous women.

At Dubai Women's I always had some nubile ones who chose to have their abayas open and blouses somewhat open in front of me. Oh, the pain.  
...but not for long. Pulchritudinous Chinese wife. |

They are indeed some of the most beautiful, and beautifully adorned, women I have ever seen. And most of them choose not to show themselves to men. |

Dear Mia,
I'm reminded of the following lines, from Thomas Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard."
"Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air."
Well, unseen by me, anyway.
Regards,
John |

Yeah? Well I am reminded of these dead-on-topic quotes:
Tony Soprano: So what are you reading?
Carmela: "Chicken Soup for the Soul"
Tony: You should read the Italian version, tomato sauce for your ass. |

Dear Sheik,
Your quote reminded me of this one:
Carmela: "Oh, I didn't tell you. He spent on a set of CDs that teach Arabic."
Tony: "Jesus Christ, c'mon! Shish-kabob. What else do ya need to know?"
Regards,
John |

Ha ha! I like that. You've got me all over these quotes like a hobo on a ham sandwich. Germane to the topic? Aw, **** it.
Vito: I'm upset, but please--I know how to keep my mouth shut.
Ralphie: Unless there's a salami sandwich around.
Paulie Walnuts (to his mother's friends): Funny thing. When I was a kid growin' up, you two were old ladies. Now I'm an old man and you're still old ladies.
Christopher Moltisanti: You ain't seen this many cops lined up since the centennial of Dunkin' Donuts. |
