Chatting about chapter 2 in Girls 2.0 on Arab Girls & Digital Media
10:30pm perfec t alright so the arab girls can only share certain information and there are four types or levels if you want of identity formation that they partake in the first is revealing barely anything at all.. no pictures, very few personal thoughts, only speaking with friends of the same sex, etc, etc, the second reveals some things and uses it almost like a diary, also speaking to people of the same sex only the third type is more revealing by posting pictures and personal status updates (they mostly looked at facebook).
10:32pm u know ur stuff ;0.
10:32pm and then the last does her thing in secret by creating a FAKE alternate profile to talk to boys and do all sorts of other taboo shityup.so some women can get in deep for even having an online profile and its crazy.
10:33pm i have totally made up a fake prfile before..
10:33pm lol for?
10:33pm stalking ex's being crazy.
10:33pm hahaha yeah i did something similar.
10:33pm the good old days.
10:33pm my friend and i created guy profiles and had them hit on us on our pages to make dudes jealous.
10:34pm ok so i wonder how many naughty arab girls get caught being a level 4 haha love it.
10:35pm lol yup but lemme see i think it says something about really horrible things happening to themh/o.
10:35pm so that sounds kind of similiar to what goes down in the u.s.....like when i started out IMing it was all innocent...lol.
10:35 pm oh nevermind yep! basically they're trying to reason whether the girls are acting out in that way because they're so restricted and they just want to talk to boys or because they're concerned with having an identity online personally, i think its boys..
10:36pm oh def, i think they prob act out in a number of ways though, they r so restricted and the internet is so..broadi think young kids everywhere can get caught up in their online identity, but especially the arab girls who dont have much of a social life outside of the internet...its like their escape method.
10:38pm yeah i agree its surprising to me because i always thought of facebook as like an American thing its really gone global.
10:38pm yes me too.
10:38pmsocial network reference lmao have you seen that movie?.
10:38pm i know did you see social network haha.
10:38pm I LOVED IT.
10:38pmloved it!!!!1hahaha.
10:39pmi so thought i was going to hate it too!but the twins were hilariousand JT is so sexyAND i really want to go back to calling it "the facebook" coz that cracked me up.
10:39pmme too!!! the twins were great, jt is hot and good at everything he does..i cant believe britney fucked that up.
10:39pm lmao she pretty much fucked everything up poor thing.
10:39pmi remember when facebook was JUST for college kids.
10:40pmi know! i couldn't get on at first because i only had a community college address.
10:40pm so like, the arab girls cant even show skin right.
10:41pm pretty much. like rather than putting pictures up of themselves with friends or anything...they use avatars...like little cartoons or pictures that don't show their face or body some of the girls have gotten pretty creative with it.
10:41pm omg thats a great idea.
10:42pm srsly?.
10:42pmnot for me, but for them lol.
10:42pm yeah definitely that way they're atleast allowed online otherwise they would be totally shut out ya know.
10:42pmi couldnt imagine living like that.
10:43pmI know :( its sad to me but different strokes for different folks i guess it makes me wonder what they think about American girls posting all sorts of stuff.
10:44pmok let me reference instant identity, the author talks about how girls use IM to gossip and have relationships but they use a shitload of vulgarity and profanity (25)i think its the same all over the world, kids will be kids but yea americans are pretty raunchy.
10:45pm yeah i've traveled a bit and heard similar language from the youngsters in Europe.
10:45pm same with the sex thing. puberty happens and then BAM kids are having relationships in real life and using the internet just like they'd use a cell phone or whatever
