I’ll begin my answer with another question: What is it that guys have against hairy girls? This does go both ways. To be fair, guys have a lot more surface area for potential hair – chest, back, face, butt – so the standard being held up is not exactly equal. The amount or thickness of hair might be more ‘offensive’ than the mere presence of it. As a woman who does not have a preference about body hair either way, I can only speculate as to why some women might have extreme reactions against it: 1) it might be a grooming issue – body hair = dirt in someone’s mind; 2) it might be tactile – smoothness is more pleasing; 3) it might be idealistic – how many buff male models pose shirtless who are not also hairless?
What you have observed might be the flipside to what women experience on a daily basis, which is being held up to an impossible standard that only a few actually can attain.

I can only answer from the perspective of an American woman but perhaps some things are universal. First, everybody (male and female) has their own ‘ideal’ picture of a romantic partner. What is yours? Is this person poorer and less educated than you? Do they have limited skills and opportunities? Probably not. Perhaps it is a biological imperative to find someone who appears prosperous. I can’t really think of any reason why this could be considered a bad thing. If the ultimate aim of a relationship is marriage, it would make sense that a woman would choose a man at or above her own socioeconomic level. Maybe more so in Egypt, depending on a woman’s role in your culture (in the US women generally continue to work after marriage/children and men are not always the sole supporters of a family). As for the age factor, the only answer I have to that is that (in the US) men seem to mature much more slowly than women…perhaps that’s just been my experience, however. The same could be true in Egypt, but I don’t know. Biological age has nothing whatsoever to do with emotional age. It could be that women who are interested in much older (you did’t really say how big of an age difference…) are either looking for emotional equals -or- some type of father figure.

The fish part starts at verse 9. (in fact the whole section from Ch. 11 to about Ch. 15 is incredibly interesting with all the do’s and don’t’s) It does not specifically say that shellfish is prohibited; rather it says in effect ‘don’t eat creatures that live in the water that *don’t* have fins and scales’ — which necessarily includes shellfish since they have neither. For the ‘why,’ of course it does not answer that in the Bible (hey – God doesn’t have to explain himself right?) but the reason I have heard most often for this is that shellfish tend to be bottom feeders or scavengers (e.g. they eat the waste from other animals) and are hence unclean. I checked a couple Kosher websites for a more expanded reason but couldnt find any – I suppose they figure if you keep Kosher, you already know why. If it helps any, I have yet to meet a single Jewish person who doesn’t love his/her crabcake or lobster tail once in a while 🙂 I’m not Jewish myself and I wouldn’t touch the stuff, so it’s kind of ironic – I guess I am keeping Kosher for all the wayward Jews out there.

Maybe it has a large female audience because it is what most other radio isn’t: loud, obnoxious, sexist, separationist…the list goes on. For entertainment alone, it is extraordinarily diverse (Car Talk, This American Life, Marketplace — no other radio network can claim that kind of mixed bag.) As for the liberal slant, NPR makes no secret about its political leanings, and more often than not it offers a fairly balanced viewpoint on current issues. It certainly doesn’t attempt to convert its listeners at gunpoint as do certain other well known radio shows (Rush Limbaugh, anyone?). PS: if you want to be liberaled to the max, try anything on the Pacifica network. Makes NPR look like Pat Robertson.
