Dubai isn't IN Saudi Arabia. It is on the Arabian peninsula, but that's not the same thing. It's like saying that the U.K. is your favorite country on the European continent. Ooops, it's an island. Just as the European continent doesn't extend out to cover Ireland, Iceland & the UK even though they are considered "European countries," Saudi Arabia doesn't cover Dubai. It covers a great deal of the Arabian Peninsula, but Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Yemen & the Arab Emirates (of which Dubai is one) occupy portions of the Arabian Peninsula as well. Ummm.

]]> Comment on Second Life Divorce Raises Questions about Relationships and Boundaries by MomTFH http://www.uppitywomen.org/blog/archives/5#comment-22 MomTFH Sat, 13 Dec 2008 18:07:51 +0000 http://www.uppitywomen.org/blog/?p=5#comment-22 I would absolutely discuss these issues if you or your partner is involved in gaming or any interactive web activity. Most infidelity starts with an emotional, intense lust communication period first. You and your partner are should be open about whether these sort of relationships are allowed. And it is up to the partner to express honestly when lines have been crossed or some outside relationship makes them uncomfortable. My husband plays an online game and was chatting every night for hours with a female player. Even though it was mostly about the game, I told him I didn't care if she lived in Michigan and we live in Florida, it was excessive and I wasn't comfortable with it. He stopped. Every couple (or more...) gets to make the rules. As long as everyone is honest, then it's fidelity. I used to be very comfortable with my ex husband having close relationships with women of the opposite sex. He slept with two of my closest friends. I may be a little gunshy now myself, but these are issues that everyone brings baggage to, so everyone gets to establish the boundaries that they feel comfortable with.

I read it and felt absolutely appalled by exactly the stuff you pointed out, especially how she was so surprised that her surrogate had a computer and could, like, eat with utensils.

It's interesting how she brings up all this possible criticism and then tries to knock it out, one by one.

Atwood's description of a society defined as having a fertility / class divide seems prophetic. Let's hope she was wrong about the rest.
