Why is this written:
Farida Abu-Haidar performed a similar study in Baghdad of prestige in the Arabic language, after which she concluded that in Baghdadi Arabic, women are more conscious of prestige than are men.
Can the than are men not be than me are. What's the difference and why chose one over the other? In this case, why has the above sentence been written in such a manner?
Thank you.
