Not to mention that the idea has become really old. Zeynab, sure please go ahead. I'm glad you this was an interesting read for you.

Do you mind if I post this on my blog? I've been wanting to cover this angle for awhile, but I don't speak Arabic and thus can't critique these shows well. But, oh, how they need to be critiqued! I LOVE THIS!

It's true shows liek bab el7ara do get on my nerves as I see the way women were being treated, but I still like to watch it because the aim is not to humiliate women, but to show you how things really were. It's a portrayal of old Arab traditions and I like to see that. Besides, if you watch the show you would've probably find that they were actually criticizing these behaviours and mindset. However, you said you haven't watch TV for over a year, which explains why you missed some good shows, really. There's one now on Dubai for Yusra, I think it's good because it boldly discusses a taboo. It talks about rape in the Arab world, 3 women who were raped and how the society treats them. One of them lost her job over it, other lost her husband, one of them died andone got pregnant... and of course things get more complicated, showing you how things could really get ugly for women out there... Anyway, I agree that some ideas are getting out of hand, redundant...
