By: Matthew Kayser In many parts of the Middle East, men grow up with clear expectations about how they should dress, speak, and present themselves. Tradition, culture, and religion often shape a narrow public image. This leads to little room to “break out” in a big way. For some, that structure provides stability. For others,
