Farah, the best female blogger of the bunch, IMHO, certainly got the bad end of it on many fronts. She decided to move onto bigger and better things. Hopefully others will come to fill her and other's spot. I hope in the future the blogs will mature some. I'd love to see more older females blogging. It seems most of them were teenagers or early twenties. MSK,

We’ve lost the best female Saudi bloggers because others threatened to expose their real identities, because they were barraged by insulting comments, and because after months of blogging they felt they had said everything there was to say.

I think a lot of it has to do with pressures from family. I think a lot also stop blogging once they get married. Over the last few years we have lost the best Saudi female bloggers for a combination of these reasons. I wonder why the women’s blogs go so quickly?
