[@georgesyacoub6455]

Hi Medea. Shaden!! Congrats on an excellent episode :) As usual. I do however, for the first time, have a small critique. My mother is an older generation woman who did take care of her husband and her family. This does not make her khad3a at all, even though at some point she stopped working and my father was the sole provider for the family. I am now married to another outstanding woman, and do push her always to be the best in everything. So our mothers although from older generations have adapted and became women of today.

[@medeaazouri9945]

hello. Akid our mothers became women of today. I was just mentioning a part of Lebanese men in a specific generation who were raised in an environment where their mothers didn't have the choice to emancipate or adapt to a more modern family configuration. I met a lot of men who were lost in translation :) because they couldn't process equality/autonomy/strenght etc. Maybe I should had explain more my point of view :)
