Saudi Students In US Seek Segregation By Gender On Facebook
Beetle B. writes “A 22,000-member group for Saudis studying in the US on the social networking website Facebook has been split into two groups, one for women and one for men. The split follows a request from the group’s female members who wanted extra privacy. The separate page for Saudi women is a valid decision. We took it to fulfill the wishes of the Saudi women in the US. We have been contacted by a lot of women asking for their private group,’ Majed Aleid, media chair of the ‘Saudis in the US’ group, told Arab News in a letter.”
