[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ignorance on this thread is stunning. I lived and worked in Dubai for years. Most women I knew loved Dubai, they felt totally safe. And women do work in the Emirates, at all levels. As Arab countries go, the Emirates is pretty progressive. Yes, I can laugh at aspects of Dubai materialism, as do many Emiratis who remember the old days. But the transformation and nation building is phenomenal. There's lots of things to do, not just malls. Beaches, Desert safaris, day trips to Oman, exploring old souks and bazaars, a shockingly cosmopolitan society with food from all over the world. And yes, the over the top architecture is fun to see. I love old historic cities but Dubai is still worth seeing. [/quote]

"Most women I know loved Dubai" = majority of white women voted for Trump.
In other words, there are lots of women that are willing to overlook an unpleasant underbelly of misogyny because they have a relative level of privilege and think that it won't really affect them.
Signed, a privileged white woman

MAGA voters are not foreign travel people. Sorry, we have to own that some of these misogyny supporters voted blue. [/quote]
