When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and
now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same
comment. Is there any way you can remove people
from that service? Thank you!

[...] to it but to be honest it's really not that difficult to see. From the Lebanese government's insulting reasoning of their rejection of women quota, despite their being a million other more dignified arguments against it, to Jordan's Minister [...]

Quota or not, Lebanese women should not sit back and wait for laws or agreements to engage them in the socio-political life of their compatriots. I do not blame Lebanese men for the nonexistence of women in politics, I blame women. I would rather have a no quota agreement and breed hundreds of women to be elected upon merit, they won’t be able to make any difference if they weren’t ready anyhow. So if you, or anyone you know, are ready to be elected and change retarded laws and whatsoever, don’t blame neanderthals, get elected and change the facts. Mind you, at least we can run for elections in Lebanon, unlike other countries, so I don’t see what’s stopping us. You might say corruption and whatnot, but that is stoping all genders and not related to our topic directly.

Cheers

did you only just realize that michael aoun is a retard? this has been obvious since the first time he came back to lebanon. his followers are blind and dont wanna see it. i was a aoun supporter in the 90s but the guy who came back from france is challenged mentally. you only need to hear him talk for 10 seconds and you’d realize.. oh dang.. this guy is nuts. can you believe some people want him for prez?

Great post Nadine, but I take issue with your blanket statement that no women are engaged in Lebanese politics.

One of my favorite analysts on Lebanese politics is a woman (Rosanna bou Monsef) and she has a very prominent column in Annahar. I also know women who do under-the-radar work like my Friend Doreen Khoury at the Tajaddod al dimocraty movement, not to mention activists like you and Faten Abu chacra.
Also, some of the smartest comments on politics in Twitter come from women…

I’m not saying they don’t exist, I’m simply saying they don’t seem to be active within any particular party, or simply aren’t interested in running for office.

The currently proposed quota is a good start, and at the expense of sounding like Michel Aoun, women like you and Nadine should put their money where their mouth is and “be the change they want to see” in the country instead of asking for permission. If you’re interested in politics, get involved with a party (or start your own) and work your way up to getting nominated for office. Legislation isn’t going to solve the entire problem, it takes work on Lebanese women’s part too.
