Anyways.. welcome!

” am a PROGRAMMER. I know it sounds wrong, how can an Arab girl be a programmer, and actually be GOOD at it and knows everything?”

What are you talking about ? I come from a religous family, my sister is a programmer ! and guess what she has an MBA too, all cousins, relatives ..etc atleast they have their university education ( nt even college) . The idea you have about Arabs come from personal experience am guessing. Are there women opressed in Arab world, ofcourse there are. Are they the majority, no they’re not ! And usually the opression of women happen in either rural areas or very poor ones, meaning not educated ones, neither the man nor the woman. It’s true changes in the Arab world should happen, but that doesnt generalize the issue. In north america itself, Women have not been treated well for that long. In the 1800s in the canadian courts ( i live in canada ) a question was raised, do we consider the woman a human being or not ! And we know women didnt have the right to vote till 1920 (approx) in US.

As a conclusion am just saying, the situation is not THAT BAD, and it’s actually improving as time passes, however if we have the 20% (for example in egypt) under the line of poverty, they will think more how to be fed that sending their women to universities. All am saying, we mention our negatives alot, however, there’s some good out there, and trust me, not hard to find these ppl.

sorry for the long comment.. interesting stuff u have there .. (PN : i didnt search for arab girls or dating to find u .. indeed a “white” friend of mine ..she pointed out ur blog .. maybe she did search for arabic girls lolz ! ) .. tc

I love your comment.. I don’t find my self superior because I am a programmer, on the contrary, I feel smarter than the average or even most of the web surfers. I just don’t like being fooled and lied to and expect me to take people’s insults and rubbish. I like to defend my self forcefully and I will use any method to do so.

It is fine that you only typed Arab Girl in Google and nothing else. Maybe another day I will post all the search terms people use to get to my site. It is VERY VERY disturbing!

I’ve been following the discussion of women in the video game industry currently going on at the MTV (and related) blogs, and there was some discussion of programmers in the comments at various sites. Consensus seemed to be that programmers are usually the one who think they are better than everyone else–because they’re indispensable, they have a license to be jerks and you can’t fire them.

Does that mean I think you’re like that? How the hell should I know, I’ve been here for what, 5 minutes? But this post has interested me, so I guess I’ll be coming back to find out.

I know I kinda went to a different subject.. but my point is people need to just chill, seriously, I’m tired of others acting like angels. Seriously, it’s just a blog.
