Men are better drivers than women. Fact or Myth?

MYTH!

Raed the abusive son

Hush Woman!

I was invited to a meeting yesterday. I was supposed to tell them about my project. I got there only to find out that the meeting was this kind of meeting…
Oh horror! I was a unique figure among all these men!
When my turn came to speak, Tayseer gave me the microphone. The moderator, a [...]
