do you know the real honeypot?

seclusion patriarchy.

convincing women that their respectability and returns in the afterlife depend on removing themselves from the public sphere,

ceding to men a total monopoly of business, law, media, politics and religion, where they entrench their righteous dominance.

Do you know the artist Nihal Martli?

She's based in Ankara & Istanbul, I think this is a fantastic encapsulation of what has been happening in Turkey.

Many young men and women are engaging with Western ideas of subjectivity, giving more weight to people's inner lives and emotions, and claiming this as their own.

But simultaneously grappling with patriarchal constraints.

She calls this painting "After Wyeth Before Atwood"

Jordanian marriage discussions

Hughes (2021) reports that negotiations may involve 30 people from each kingdom group, gender segregated, sometimes being careful not to say her name.

Personally, I think it was poor form of the New Yorker to publish something where he did not nothing criminal, yet is easily identifiable.

Similarly, I'm not a fan of people posting intimate DMs about relationships/ dating apps.

If we collectively raise the costs of asking people out, or being in a relationship, then they will become less appealing.

And that seems... sub-optimal. 🤷‍♀️

The next time someone asserts that economic development leads to cultural change,

Ask them about Ms Muthoni

A Kenyan domestic worker in Saudi Arabia, who has a one year old baby with an Egyptian resident, has been sentenced to 100 lashes for having sex outside marriage.

Bravo to reporters @Lattif @viviannereim
