Re: Stereotype-bustin' in the Arab world (4.00 / 2)

I'm not sure I can. I just get the feeling that we're trapped within a framing here and missing some pretty fundamental issues. We're a pretty sex obsessed society, and I'm not sure how normal or healthy that is, for a start.

Re: Stereotype-bustin' in the Arab world (none / 1)

I've never said "normal" or "healthy," just "open" and "frank." Which I think is healthier than "closed" and "ashamed." That's by no means implying perfect health, though.
