Not everything is open to the purview of the public, nor is everything open for public discussion or debate. There are intimate and private matters that remain closed and quiet. There are cultural values and practices that are well beyond what many believe should be universally accepted that simply are not open for outside interpretation and/or judgment. Therefore, regardless of outside curiosity, intrigue, attempts at exploring, researching, and what has been or has not been read; somethings remain intimate and private matters.
Here in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in Arabia, many women willingly wear, with love and devotion, not only the abaya and hijab, to conceal their bodily famine beauty from strangers, but they also will frequently wear the niqab (the face vial) that is also for drawing a vivid distinction between public and private matters. So, regardless of your lack of understanding and knowledge, I and many others like me are living, loving, and prospering in Arabia; and yes, I face challenges in daily life like all people everywhere in the world. But, at the end of the day, I am almost always treated like an Arabian princess by all of the gracious Arabic men in my life.
Check your Western stereotypes and double standards at the door before you glance inside my and others private and intimate existences. In particular, I am intrigued by this website that was founded to encourage and support a certain verity of openness, but when it comes to issues that are on the fringes or are outside the acceptable limits of discussion there is a diffident negative response. Silence and intimacy in some cultures still remain a virtue above and beyond loud openness or even transparency. I rather be nowhere else in the world!
