They are Sub-Human Filth.” …Nice, isn’t it? And such a perfect starting out position for npeaceful co-existance,mutual-respect & world peace. The malevolence is so thick you could cut it with a saudi knife.

How are you? My name is Jennifer Latessa and I am a student at the University of Vermont. I am an Environmental Studies major with a minor in Anthropology. I am taking a “Gender in the Middle East” course and as part of my assignment, I am responding to your blog. Nevertheless, I found your blog to be incredibly useful and interesting. You seem to be well-informed and mindful about your country and social and political issues. Your blog has been a useful guide for me, as I am only beginning to learn about the Middle East and its complexities. I was particularly drawn to this post, “Simple Things”, and your site because you address my focus: Gender and transportation in Saudi Arabia. Thank you for using popular culture and policy to demonstrate your thoughts, it really helps me gain a better understanding on life in Saudi Arabia. It is unimaginable for me to think of not having a proper theater. I am going to continue reading your past and future blogs for my research. Do you think you could recommend to me or post some good literature/information/experience on what gender differences and transportation is like for you personally or in Saudi Arabia in general? I would really appreciate it. And thank you for writing.

Keep making a difference,
Jenny

Have you ever head of a movie with no competition? I think the success of the movie validated his efforts.

Cinema will take off regardless here, as the home movie business is very successful.

Will only families be allowed in, for example, because it is a “dark” place? Will men be segretated?

It’s a shit society we live in, but if you think a website might open up some new doors, I’m all for it.

Man I am talking about a website dedicated to this, sending faxes to people of influence, and things of this sort. I am sure that people as prolific as the visitors of this great blog could make a great change if they put their collective work together for it. We are on the good side of this remember? We are asking for the right thing.
