While I agree with most of what you said, the stories about Arab countries have some truth to them. I guess those who say that those placrs are safe for women come from an upper-middle class background who go there as professionals or tourists. But for women who come from poorer countries and go to work there as maids, they know the risks of being abused or killed.

I do wholeheartedly agree that more Americans should explore the world (or their own states) to expose themselves to different perspectives and norms.

Additional suggestions for pc/laptop

ffmpeg for audio and video
pdftk for pdf

Used these for simple tasks, eg cropping/converting movie formats, taking out/combining pdf pages. Both are fast and light and havent failed (so far).
