But I gotta admit, I find it unreasonable because of the double standards thats why, simply because I do, period. I'm entitled to my opinion on my own blog, just as much as you are in expressing yours on here without knowing me. Again, thanks for reading and I will check yours out.<br />@NCP - I will keep writing, don't worry, difference of opinion or not :)<br />Tobe honest, I wouldn't care if you wore a pink schoolbag to work and I think its totally different (given its not about double standards), your example is more about people thinking you don't fit because you are different. And I'm sorry but I don't know what lences are? Oops. <br />I think its great that you challenge things in Salalah, so that you can be yourself. Its an individual thing to wear a pink bag, but lets face it...it wasn't like people in Salalah thought you were a Lesbian...they just thought you should grow up and that isn't as hard to swallow in a conservative culture.<br /><br />Again, my thoughts :)Delirious in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195374298516297071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277625493162369606.post-79311807998403846372009-11-29T02:20:31.282+04:002009-11-29T02:20:31.282+04:00I believe we find it strange and unreasonable beca...I believe we find it strange and unreasonable because it's a cultural thing, again =p. <br /><br />Hmm.. I just wonder what your response to this would be: as a Salalah girl, I was suffering from being told that I'm not a grown-up because I had a pink school bag in secondary school. <br /><br />And at Uni, a Salalah girl once said: Come on, Mona. You're a grown-up! You should wear lences! <br /><br />I know how Salalah girls see things, but sometimes I violate their rules. At any way, tell me if you find that unreasonable as well ;] <br /><br />Keep writing please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277625493162369606.post-50617198589879784192009-11-28T22:02:31.989+04:002009-11-28T22:02:31.989+04:00If you do get it than I don't get why you find...If you do get it than I don't get why you find 'it unreasonable'. As Non-Crowned Princess was saying, it's just a cultural thing. They don't consider men-holding-hands a gay-thing. We do. They do consider a man without a moustache a gay-thing. We don't. At the moment I'm living in Egypt and here men kiss each other as a greeting and call each other 'habeebee' (my beloved). That's not considered gay at all. Culture also changes. Twenty years ago (in Europe) it was considered gay for a man to use grooming products. Now it's dead normal, the guy is just looking after himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277625493162369606.post-76166949718831869432009-11-28T12:20:27.122+04:002009-11-28T12:20:27.122+04:00Yep I totally get that, each to their own culture....Yep I totally get that, each to their own culture. But to me its pretty unreasonable to assume that someone is gay because they don't have a big moustache, but then let men frolick around hand in hand and say they aren't, isn't it?<br /><br />Again, just food for thought.Delirious in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195374298516297071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277625493162369606.post-50734619690221200472009-11-28T11:44:34.662+04:002009-11-28T11:44:34.662+04:00Maybe it's only a cultural thing.
