Why Aren't Women Respected As Much As Men?

Question

How come in Iraq, Afganistan and some other countries girls can't go to school can't get good jobs and are not respected.And why do they have to cover there hole entire body? That's just not right!

Answer 1

It isn't right at all. But the sad thing is, it's happening today, and it has been happening for a long time. Males have been respected more than women even during the prehistoric period because they brought home food and protected the family. You can just see how prehistoric our "modern" world is; women are still in the background in many places.

Men are more aggressive than females, because of all the hormones and extra muscles and other biological stuff. Women were pushed out of the picture, and sometimes they still are. But now that we understand more, now that we know that women are just as respectable as men, we are changing our way of thinking about them and, in the process, we are changing society. We are changing the world.

Of course, people hold on to their preconceived ideas tenaciously; they do not want to change. Many religions even incorporated this idea of gender inequality into their teachings and beliefs. This is most definitely the case in countries where religion and government mix. I'm not sure if you got the countries right, but Iran and Afghanistan are slowly giving women better opportunities to contribute to the community. There are definitely other countries that have it much worse.

It is wrong, and this should change. Women deserve equal rights. Only when society realizes and acts on this will there be justice.

Answer 2

Don't talk about matters when you don't know the facts. The fact is Iraq has always been the most Westernized country outside of the West. Women there have University Degrees and there are many female Doctors etc In Afghanistan it's true this used to be the case until after we overthrew the Taliban and now they do have access to formal Education. It's Saudi Arabia where women have to walk behind the men etc. In fact in Sri Lanka the women and children must also sit, eat etc apart.

Answer 3

Well you can say that women aren't respected as much as men are all over the world. It has been like this and will continue to be this way because of the physical dominance men have over women. Men are more valued because they can work harder and do things women can't. In the US women are still looked down upon within the work environment also because of the stereotypical work ethic but there are always exceptions to that rule. Afghanistan is just an extreme case of sexual inequality which is very sad to think about.
