You can only put your feet on the coffee table in your own house Yasmine but never with shoes on..socks only...otherwise it's considered you're showing disdain to your host.
In Arab culture, something under your feet denotes very strong disdain
In the West, feet up on the coffee table is common, but in an Arab family you would NEVER (unless you’re alone)
Thats what makes this Yemeni campaign, like the Saudi #النقاب_تحت_رجلي that much more powerfulhttps://twitter.com/ysm_yes/status/1165506589677314054 …

وجهك هو هويتك و لا شيء آخر... تغطية هويتك يساويك بالأشباح و الموتى وقطاع الطرق والعصابات و من لا هوية لهم، انتي يمنيه حره ارفعي راسك واخلعي النقاب ، تمردي واكسري الصنم

Oh and if I didn't say so before, Congratulations on your book! I wrote a book this month too, but it wasn't successful. I hope you have better luck than I did. Considering your relative fame and how you're marketing it, I suspect it'll do great.

There is a famous photo of Obama with his feet on the desk in the White House. He was showing the soles of his shoes and talking on the phone. Would he know the significance of this?

Isn’t now a time to promise a language reform? I suggest replacing “culture” with “vulture”. Just one letter will settle the issue.
