Oryx, having lived there for 7 years means nothing in this debate. Abuse is the same the world over. The same tacktics, the same propaganda, the blaming of the victims, the lame twisting of facts so as to oppress the victims for their own good... many people will be in a place for 7 or 37 years, and remain plain stupid over social ills, because it is very disruptive to become aware, and do or say nothing. I know full well that many Qatari women will defend their own condition of bondage and oppression. I'm ok with that. Labels like culture and clan don't make anything right, and offer no excuse. Your comments are hollow and stereotypical. Go back to sleep, and learn to live with others that remain wakefull, and make some noise. Pitstop is the personification of denial. How do you think women manage to get on in these crazy scenarios. Pitstop shows us how. Honour is something oppressors desperately lack. Using the word is worlds away from having some. Sorry, there is no honour found in Abuse. Be it a clan or otherwise. I don't criticise what you write, I correct you. And once again, I'm commenting on abuse of positional power, and your efforts to somehow accuse me of "superimposing" is lame. Every human being everywhere will experience the same grief when being oppressed. "My values" don't come into it. No one values a broken arm or leg do they? How utterly stupid and embarressing of you to suggest my disaproval of abuse is merely a personal value, that others don't nessesarely share. You are truely special.. a stand out.
