Jordanian boys culture and the tawjihi under-achievement!
80% is the ratio of female to male entering the Jordanian public university this year! That is, in my opinion, *over-achievement* of women calling for equality in a society that suffers from male domination in many different ways.

"We live in a conservative eastern society" card
