I took this photo on saturday. Normally you would think this should be in the ladies room rather than the men's right? No, this is in the gents, in the new giant Dubai Mall. Yes, they think guys should also help their wives with diaper changing.
Yesterday, I read that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has appointed a woman as a deputy minister. The gender gap could be narrowing fast in the Gulf. They should have have started doing this sort of things long ago. Islam, as I understand does not prevent women from rising to leadership positions in society. In the UAE, where emiratis are rare they need all the local talent they can get to run this place.
