In The News
Slate's daily news round-up linked an interesting article in the Los Angeles Times discussing gender roles in Islamic countries, in particular, media and entertainment expression of them, including their answer to Carrie Bradshaw. This brought to mind another article some time back discussing how Saudi Arabian women get around taboos on intersexual gatherings by using text messaging. Likewise, other books and stuff that I personally read/watched. Also, Bush talking about responsibility? No lie.
