Actually, there are a lot of Arabic words in Spanish. Wikipedia has a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_influence_on_the_Spanish_language Also, Arabic took words from Spanish and other Romance languages (and google is a weird verb to conjugate in Arabic, let me tell you) so...
It's like they don't even see that the rules are different. Like if women are expected to take maternity leave and have a job that accommodates their families, and move when their spouses do and men aren't, and those are all things that delay raises and promotions and can derail careers, then women are still at an institutional disadvantage. But no, it's her own fault for having a baby/moving with her spouse/staying home with her sick kid so much. Many of the women who say "If we just worked harder" want so badly to be part of the boys club that they're willing to step on other women to get there. Because they're as good as the boys, but the rest of us aren't.
