I also want democracy, security, and a civil, healthy society… right along with the strong family bonds I'm accustomed to as an Iraqi. Who knows? Maybe I’ll start a tribal blog and become a virtual sheikh myself…" I think you might know that there is a feminine substitute for "sheikh" in Arabic. Also, if the writer were a woman, she would think differently. >From: Salwa Ghaly <sghaly-AT-sharjah.ac.ae> >Reply-To: postcolonial-AT-lists.village.Virginia.EDU >To: "'postcolonial-AT-lists.village.Virginia.EDU '" ><postcolonial-AT-lists.village.Virginia.EDU> >Subject: RE: An Iraqi woman writes from Baghdad >Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 21:07:25 +0400 > >What's a "rather manly" voice, if I may ask? > >-----Original Message----- >From: mona cico >To: postcolonial-AT-lists.village.Virginia.EDU >Sent: 9/29/03 8:02 PM >Subject: Re: An Iraqi woman writes from Baghdad > > > >Iraqi are usually very good in English.
