Superwoman Returns
I’m back and I miss you all
I had what’s called a meltdown after posting my last topic. I couldn’t believe how much hate and anger some people could carry in their hearts, I have received really horrible emails, comments, notes, death threats, party invitations, wedding proposals, and I was accused of being part of FIFA BID conspiracy (WTF). When the truth was that I was just a Qatari girl who decided to talk about her problems.
I have learned that the worst thing that could happen to a person is denying his existence!! , I felt bad, scared and lonely! After thousand tries of deleting the post I gave up, and I decided to just forget about it and stay away and stay positive.
Then of course my curiosity pulled me back to QL. And guess what??? Turns out I have fans, supporters, women and men from different nationalities who are or been in a similar situation so I was no longer lonely nor afraid, now I could easily start a liberation movement in Qatar LOL (just Kidding) or maybe not. It also made me feel that it only takes one brave woman to stand up for her rights and the rest will follow through. All the Qatari girls who are being held back by traditions and values they can’t relate to. Together we will make a difference. I feel fantastic! I feel like a million riyal bill, it’s the end of the year my favorite time of the year. Which really was fruitful and blessed.
I have so many emails, didn’t read them all yet but I will, and I will reply ASAP. Oh and I’m learning about Twitter I will make my account soon so you could follow me!.
I have read the: I don't want to be an Indian Boy!!!! Topic by Sandeepkadian , so effing funny made me laugh.
It’s the National Day of Qatar I’m very excited for that, I know you may think that I don’t like his country but I do, I love it. It’s my home, my root even though I don’t like certain things about it.
So see you in the cornice parade and Aspire park, watch out I could be the girl in Abaya sitting next to you .LOL
After Batman returned she went out to a date with him.
where are you superwoman
happy new year
yeah i think u'l be an inspriration to some of dem, tht open mindness den narrow thinking!! hats off welcome back!!!
wow eco-savvy ... that was good one ;)

"Superwoman to the rescue"
Doesn't matter what she is, she does have some valid points
discussing here is nothing but copy paste of all our comments from previous threads
This is norm here once you get banned you come up with different id and start controversial thread
novemberrain,
i dont support anyone blindly....if one writes something here, he or she should justify that with reasons..
discussion is the outcome of a chain of thoughts which builds up by such questions and comments..
if she is defensive and cannot justify her statements, this means she doesnt know what she is talking about.
schlaunik,
Who are you to question her muslim faith? I have been a muslim my whole life and I agree with the woman.
Arranged marriages have nothing with Islam, it's just a tradition, not only in the arab countries, but also in a lot of countries around the world.
You are the ignorant here, you cannot even accept the woman's opinion.
rishimba, if your comment was directed to her only, then use private messaging. Instead of having a constructive opinion, all you could do was question her motives.
I was never a member here, but when I read superwoman's post, I registered just so that I can write and thank her for what she's written
How dare you compare yourself with African American struggling for Civil rights and at least get the date right. You need to be hosed off. I was asked to read this post and comment and I wish You really had something to say. If you were real this may have been beneficial, but I am convinced your a fake non Qatari and possibly non muslim. I pray I am wrong and that God guides us both. I am aconvert to Islam and I and manyof my Convert friends also use arranged marriages and we are from the West. some peole actually marry on matrimonial sites. If your relationship fails check yourself not the system. If you made wrong choices get over it and move on. No one system is perfect for everyone. I wish you success in life and wisdom from experiences in the past.
I will leave this titled stupid woman only because the stupid person carries no blame only the arrogant / ignorant be they male or female.
novemberrain, the comment was not made on the topic being discussed but on qatar_femme's post.
moreover,the questions were directed to qatar_femme, not to the forum as a whole.
rishimba ur comment was totally irrelevant to the topic discussed
I don't like the drugs,but the drugs like me. :D
hey, this is not a fight club....just a platform for discussions, so please dont be so defensive.
if you didnt want anybody's opinion or comment on your post, why did you have to revisit this thread, read and then reply to me..:)
you could have just moved on to some other thread..
my second question still remains unanswered.
First, I don't have to give you justifications and reasons for me signing up a day ago, but so you can be happy, I signed up after I read Lisa's post about Qatar National Day.
Besides, I didn't ask for anyone's opinion, I said mine and that's that!
qatari-femme, you have been a member of this forum only for a day, how come you have heard and read a lot about her?
do you really think it requires courage to write blogs and posts when you are not showing your own identity to the readers?
Hello Miss Superwoman,
I heard and read a lot about ya !
And as Qatari girl, who (partially) agrees with you in some of the points you mentioned in several threats and as someone who lived in the US for a while, I Salute you on being really brave and out-spoken =)
Cheers,
Have a great day !!
superwoman wether you are real or not, your post is very true. The Qatari government has way too many rules & guidelines which don't make sense to most of us educated people, and very often are very often racist, discriminatory and violating basic human rights.
What I have understood though, is that Qataris are very few in numbers compared to the expatriates working here, and have all these rules set up so that they protect their population.
I think that if I was a Qatari, I would do the same.
ps: I don't see why you are against the Mehr??
i think you explain it simply and directly to all of us, i appreciate your truth which missing by most of us.
Flan, I know how to dig out potatos and onions. But in which fields do girls in Abaya grow?
A little bit of e-bashing is not detrimental to your health!
i dig girls in abayas.
Way to go girl!!
superwomen, i have not got your response to my post..
i never said qatari women are ignorant... traditions are ignorant
"Superwoman to the rescue"
now you said another thing about qatari women, you are not consistent, superwoman. better leave you, you are really nonsense. genesis is right, dr.amal al-malki's bloggers. you better visit it, its nice really..
What would Sheika Moza say?
its a clichéd phrase that actions speak louder than words but here this finds relevance..
just take a first step for real and come out of your house in a decent suite or any other dress you feel like and drop our abaya off..
if you can do it and still face your family and friends with conviction, that would be the real first step for you to bring about a change..
hotpants, you are Maggots delight :)
qatari girls are educated now... do you really think that an educated woman would settle for such a demeaning way of marriage of life style? no
with educations comes knowledge
...
knowledge of better way to live your life.
"Superwoman to the rescue"
about the dude who said, i will die on my abaaya... dont think so..i will die a free woman in the outfit of my choice,,,,, didnt really understand why u trying to put me down... saying am a bird in captivity... that hurts
"Superwoman to the rescue"
qatari girls are happy ... they do everything in the low ... they date, go out and hang out with their boyfriends but dont do it in public.. mostly behind thier family's back...
thats why they are not getting married, they cant marry thier way, so they dont... they date guys that they like rather than marrying ones that they dont know... if you dont believe me... look up articles about reasons why qatari women age of marriage has increased... before a qatari girl would get married when she is 18 ,,, now you find alot of qatari women who ar in thier 30s and single
"Superwoman to the rescue"
should be. May be its better for her to gives dowry to Men like hindus. You buy car for your man, buy him all household appliances even buy him bedroom set.
you are 100% right rishimba, if she is a real qatari girl and she has a lot to say against her country she should do it in a right place and in the right flatform. but she keeps on talking to us, who are we, we are not qataris, why? you want us to support you in your advocacy? even your advocacy is unclear to us. or is it reasonable?
unless you are an impostor playing as qatari women but in fact another expatriates or a wife of an expatriate and you just want to stir up, because you simply dislike qatar the way it is.
another thing i noticed, on her first posting i remember her english is so poor that you cannot comprehend what she is saying, but now you are fluent, you are changing so fast. and learning so fast.another proof that you are something huh?
i'ved been in a business where utility services are being provided to the qataris, and i met a lot of qatari girl, seems they are so happy and complete, opposite to what this superwoman's sayings...
i'ved read that any one (qatari) who has grievances the emir of qatar designated time to listen to all of them. then if she is real why not go to emir or to any branch of their goverment.
u r a coward dear..u look forward to a bright future..u wont have it in ur life time... u will die in ur abaya. thats all . i hope uu can be safe in ur abaya. better not come out of it.. or come out ..its better than being burned inside with ur intense longing for liberation from the captivity. u r a bird in captivity.. u will never know what freedom is..u will meet ur death still in abaya..or y do u wanna come out of ur abaya? r u not satisfied with ur family life? why the hell do u wanna display ur face to others? what is the use? do u want eveyone enjoy ur beauty?what the hell r u gonna do inthis world once u are out of ur abaya? wanna be like any other woman? if u have the courage come out of it..resist wearing it..Or just shut ur mouth and be confined to ur prison
Here is a blog of a Qatari feminist. That made a name for her self. Dr. Amal Al Malki
http://amalalmalki.com/
She's an Assistant Teaching Professor of English at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar
Many good blog entries & articles
Read...learn
And then come speak about change
cos Sheikh google cant help you I am sorry about that. You can take help of PM she is very helpful in this matter
mentioned, and they are in good number. If only Superwoman was Qatari then she would know
this is not a religous thread in any way shape or form.
this is about humen rights and evolvement
"Superwoman to the rescue"
pagans and atheist will be the last to live here on earth. it is a prophecy that you will increase and overpower all. then the time will come that no one will ever remember the name of God and never know God. then kallas....
superwomen, you wrote you were a fighter and that you dont want to relocate...
what exactly you think you will achieve if you write blogs or put up your thoughts in QL. do you expect some positive change will be there...?
i am afraid nothing at all... this is probably not the platform where your own people would even agree with you..leave aside fighting on your behalf.
you are just getting vicarious satisfaction that somebody is listening to you... but as a matter of fact, it doesnt matter at all as most us are expats and dont have empathy for you, the kind you need from people to fight for you.
if you are a real fighter, want to stay here and bring about a positive change, look for a real platform where your own people would listen to you. face the world in real and not from behind the monitor.
you're entitled to your opinion. But many of the examples you showcased is a thing in the past. Most Qatari women are marrying nowadays of their own free-well. Most Qatari Women now are graduates & in the workforce. In fact, according to both QF & QU demographics number of Qatari women graduate outcomes the number of men.
There are many Qatari Feminist, you won't be the first & certainly you won't be the last. choose the right fight, freedom is not about the small things. If you're really determined for change, you should pick an issue that others takes you seriously
Remember, our society never forgives. Many women have regretted what they sought when they were young & live now as an outcast.
girl, very innocent girl
no freedom of speech , not even freedom of blog
"Superwoman to the rescue"
common dont give up now search the mahr amount :)
i am a simple woman... somethings dont make sense to me...
we are we forced to be some one we are not just to please others... life is way simpler than this.
"Superwoman to the rescue"
why u even here... if you dont believe me, am sure u have a better why to spend you time.. or maybe not... u probablly lie alot and thats why u think i am lying.
we have a qatari saying that says, people assume others are just as bad as they themseleves are
"Superwoman to the rescue"
so just enjoy this show
eco savvy
why u even here..... dont bother
"Superwoman to the rescue"
now dont come after one hour simple question
Sheikh???...now thats interesting...

One life to live, live it to the fullest.
complete answer, sorry Sheikh google didnt help you much
sure ur qatari??? just curious....
am a fighter i dont want to leave home because i dont agree with the bad traditions, i want to be part of a positive change
"Superwoman to the rescue"
there are no taxes here.
:)
eco-savvy, i pity you.
progress
superwomen, your posts remind me of a bangadeshi muslim writer, ms. taslima nasreen.
she had similar opinions about the status of women in the muslim world and thus she came out with a novel named ' lajja' meaning 'shame'.
when this novel was published, the conservatives banned the sale of the book in bangladesh and also issued a 'fatwa' against her. she had to flee the country and stay in europe for many years.
she has probably not returned yet to her country fearing the worst..
its ok if you are voicing your opinions here as many do in their blogs...but eventually, nothing happens. thats the bitter truth.
may be ... you are not for qatar or qatar is not for you..
if you strongly believe in yourself, just get out of the country and settle somewhere you would feel at home..
best wishes..
i know all about mahar man, the prophit mohammed recomended a mahar to be a modest gift to bring the man and woman closer to each other,,,,, i dont agree with mahars here... whats the point of giving a 100000 mahar?
this is the traditions i stand against
"Superwoman to the rescue"
"Superwoman to the rescue"
Prophet Sallahu alaiwassalam
I have asked this question several times now
as dumb as you think bucko! :)
Wow
a true story
a man who dated a qatari girl for 4 years refused to marry her because she went out with him... how ignorant is that... he cant explain it too.. he was just raised this way
shameful
"Superwoman to the rescue"
wow qataris talking to non-qataris, didn't realise that is such a crime?
Are there things you have to hide and you don't want the rest of the world to know....
this is typical of qatari men. its a male dominant society.
if a woman try to speak up. men like you put her down. because you are afraid that we can actually do better than a qatari ignorant like you. maybe a lebaneas who know how to respect a woman and not call her a dog like you call me on public.
"Superwoman to the rescue"
is that difficult question?
Traditions and culture are very important part of society. However, as society evolves and progresses, the negatives are usually driven out.. This will also happen in Qatar as time goes on.
As far as the story above is concerned, did the Saudi girl ask him prior to the marriage whether he was already betrothed ?
a true story....
a qatari girl married a man in the traditional way "arranged marriage"
later found out he has a boy friend...... heard him sweet talk another man on the phone and later brought her a toy for his pleasure
"Superwoman to the rescue"
انت تسمين نفسج قطرية وتكرهين العادات والتقاليد؟؟؟
والله انج مب قطرية. انت من ذبله اللي متخرين من المدارس الاجنبية متولعة باشياء باطلة وسخيفة.
صدق القافلة تسير والكلاب تنبح
U feel like a million riyal bill? Well, your worth less than a 25 Dirham coin.
U do not represent Qatar, nor Qataris. Its a shame to have people like you talking to non-Qataris about Qatar.
You are not even Qatari!
you are being left behind,,,,,behind,,,,,behind,,,,,
soon nothing left for the boys except the dunes...
:)
oh, sorry, thats all there is now, isn't it?
true story....
a qatari man proposed to a saudi girl, " which mean more conservative than us" they got married in saudi, when he brought her back, she discovered he was still married to his first wife and has four kids.....
"Superwoman to the rescue"
spare liars
is someone who got trapped in the old traditions and resents it so much. too old and too weak to escape the religious net so she pulls down anyone the still has the strenght to go out. :(

contract, if she is Qatari she should know how it looks right. You are familiar with employemnt contract right?
If she is Qatari she should know about Mahr (dowry) right?

eco sounds like you are scared of something.... otherwise you would just ignore superwoman's posts...
is it too hard to believe that some qatari girls dont really embrace this life style. do you really think that every qatari person obies and like these meaningless traditions.... its 2010 and we have to evolove culturally not just in education, medicine and art.
"Superwoman to the rescue"
eco, it is easy to label somebody, and less easy to prove who you are and what you are claimiing to be. be careful, you will be judged according to the measurement you are using.
progress
lol I know who you are, you have taken all dumb qlers for very long ride
Eco I think you are over-reacting. One girl doesn't want arranged marriage, it doesn't make her a really bad person. maybe she is lying but consider the 1% chance that maybe she isn't. I just like to see people in good light unless they absolutely convince me that they aren't.
I am not standing up for anyone. I just stand up for what I feel is right.

thank you all for your good words. how do opeople expect change if they block every single appourtunity?

eco-savvy, are you afraid of what superwoman exposing? were you or one of your family members or friends experienced what superwoman is telling on the other thread?
progress
up for with people with fake ids
PM, will you marry me? :)
to convert to paganism
lol you are exposed superwoman
i disagree with you sand, it is not going that way, they are afraid what impact superwoman's thread will bring to many qatari women. they are afraid that many more superwomen will come out and voice out their grievances, not to the tradition and cultures but to the reality it brings to them.
progress
dweeb, mick, gringo,,,wap,,,chink,,,,
just names,,,
Supee,,you brought a black shadow into the light,,,,people that can't handle someone else's truth aren't very high on the humanity scale,,,
Didn't I read in the papers today that Qatari women are not marrying because they cannot find educated Qatari men??
Eco I am not here to judge whether she is corrupt or immoral or any of such things. I am just telling that one should always stand up for what one feels is right.
http://skadian-lifeinqatar.blogspot.com/
Superwoman is exposed
Same has happened to me in terms of the horrible emails, comments, notes, and death threats. No wedding proposals or party invitations, though! lol
Try not to let it get you down and don't let yourself sink to the level of those who conduct themselves in the lowest manner.
Take care.
I didn't drink the kool-aid! -- PM

why in the world is my last thread closed ?????
is it too much they couldnt handle the truth do they expect us to lie about our traditions to say on his site? "Superwoman to the rescue"

Hi Qatari Superwoman, Happy National Day!!!
Hope I could see your previous post...
'' scorpion three can swim''...
I hope you are joking about the death threats bit.
i couldnt let all the death threats keep me down. thats not what superwomen do. i cant believe some guys want me dead because i spoke out. but they could try all they want... i am here and i wont let them get to me.
"Superwoman to the rescue"
Superwomen for having given a thought for your country that its your root & home country.....THere are people struggling to come to this country to make some their earnings for their people back home....It very common that no one realises what they have....Make a way out of your mother land & you will realise what you have lost...
Wish you also your Qatar's National Day. If you see there are so many non qataris who wants to join on cornishe to see the parade happen..
uh oh.. Those bloody cheats.. They told me no pictures allowed there :(
Why not wear the same costume as the last time..
I still have your picture ..
Hmm should I get a superman costume now or wearing my undies over my jeans will suffice?
Must have learned Some moral lessons Dear!
Enjoy and have fun with Qatar National Day and Happy NEW Islamic Year :)
Sandy....you are QL's SuperMan.... ;)
We might require your super powers on 18th so thanks for coming and enjoy the independence day celebrations

go ahead, start mingling.
Yalla!
Welcome back and ignore the bigots. We appreciate individuality here rather that the religious reactionary sheep that have loud voices on this site....
I think you made people think, most expatriates here have little or no contact with Qataris especially young ladies and have a mixed up idea of their life, they think they are rich and just sit at home and the govt. gives them money, like any govt. does that. Except for a select few in a certain position. Hopefully by your honesty and bravery others will contact you, I think the young girls in this country need a support group that can network and help each other in a variety of ways. It could be a business group as the country is growing new ideas will be formed with support from each other you will go far. The door is open but only the bravest among you will walk through, its a time for women to demand their rights, not give them up. We are cheering you on, knowing you are already excelling in many fields, keep up the good work. Hope to hear great news. Eve
it was brave of u to tell about ur life as qatari girl... its freedom of expression..nobody should make u feel upset nor getting urself upset about those comments..anyways..happy national day! ;)
temper is something u cant get rid of... by loosing it...
she got bored again!!!
