I hate to say it sabs but I got a little lucky in the way I was raised, my mom pretty much did it herself and therefore I got a lot more exposure to the "canadian" culture than I did to the Somalian one. So even when I go visit my dad's side of the family I don't pay attention to this honour system. But its there nonetheless and I see it mostly in my cousins, I dont know if this makes me qualified to comment about it though because I don't truly UNDERSTAND it. fair?
I'm all down for discussing gender roles though.... when am I not? hahah.
I think that as a society... western world, eastern world, global world, women turn their back on women. And yes that is a huge generalization. But seriously lets think about it, we are quicker to shut down our women allies then we are the men. I'm guilty of it! I don't understand it... but I don't it mostly subconciously... maybe its that competition thing... but that just leads us back to who/what are we competing for? And thats a whole other can of worms...
any thoughts?
