About me

Introduction	Hi I'm Mayyada, a Khaleeji 17 year old on the verge of being pushed into the 'Real World'. I started this blog in order to keep track of my thoughts and the events that go on in my life.
Interests	Feminist Naomi Wolf wrote in her 2008 essay, “Behind the veil lives a thriving Muslim sexuality,” that Islam and its injunction of modesty channels sexuality into marriage and family life: “When sexuality is kept private and directed in ways seen as sacred – and when one’s husband isn’t seeing his wife (or other women) half-naked all day long – one can feel great power and intensity when the headscarf or the chador comes off in the home.”
