Women and the Levant

In response to the writer's article

Faryal from Kuwait

Thank you for this in-depth understanding of the nature of the people of the Levant, and we are proud of your pen that did justice to us

But I am a supporter of women's liberation, the liberation that best suits her nature and originality.

I would like to focus on some important points

First: Women’s liberation, social and cultural maturity, and this civilizational leap that they had did not coincide with the maturity and understanding of men, and in many cases, the man met them either with stubbornness and rejection, or surrender and withdrawal, which caused him to lose much of his manhood

So we now have half-men on the one hand, and masculine women on the other, as the writer mentioned

Secondly: As for the Levant in general and Damascus in particular, the credit for this balanced liberation was due to women’s maturity and their dealings with liberal concepts in an intelligent way. She learned, worked, excelled, and attained many of her rights, but she did not violate her feminine nature and her concern for the family as a mother and wife. Modesty was in her nature and in The way she behaves, whether she is veiled or not, and I must mention that the religion in the Levant is moderate and based on science, and it has interested jurists and preachers who have raised the standards and concepts to a cultural level appropriate to our originality, which has contributed to creating an appropriate acceptance of this feminine civilizational leap among men.

It is worth noting that the woman in the Levant in general, and contrary to what the soap opera (Bab Al-Hara) promotes, is a strong, protected, and honorable woman. She has her place in her family’s home, her husband’s home, and her children, and she is worthy of all of that, as described by writers, poets, and theorists in various Arab societies. .
