England and America of all places. Why did the women there feel the need to fight men who held doors open for them, provided and protected them fighting the evil in the world or willingfull giving up their lives for them (Titanic wouldnt happen the same way today I admit that) ?
Wouldnt it have made more sense if feminism originated from any Islamic country, where the word gentelmans club (or gentelman for that matter) is unkown because the home and everywhere a man is is the mens club and where infidelity results in the stoning of the woman involved instead of the 2 men duelling it out ?

You are all saying how much worse women had it in the eastern world. Thats exactly my point. Why did women fight here and in countries like chvalrous England instead of places where women were off worse.

Women in the countries that you are referring to were also considered chattels or owned by these men. The reason that they were treated to doors being held etc. because they were classified in the same league as children, also unable to think for themselves. Women were not considered to be "person", until 1929 when the House of Lords, gave them this right. Before that they were not allowed to own property, sign a contract, or do anything that might upset their husbands. If you don't notice the similarities between this and slavery then I think maybe you need to start reading up more on history then posting questions here that have no basis nor credibility.
You are basing all of your theories on what transpires in your daily life and you cannot judge the actions of others nor globally by what goes on in your small world. Feminism is about looking at issues from others standpoints and thus being able to understand how their experiences colour their thought and beliefs. Do you understand the premise of empathy?

Social capital of women in western -- progressivly educated and liberal -- countries allows them more upward mobility in their relative realms. Islamo-facist states treat women as property, Eastern Europe was too unstable for a democratic world to survive long enough for feminism, Asia is family oriented.....forgoing the western "cult iof the individual". Austrailia and africa was tribal.....thgen colonized by europe, making all inhabitants second class citizens.

It is because there is an atmosphere safety to express your opinion that's why it's easy for people fight for what they feel is right. Women like to be treated as women. However they feel they should have the right to vote and control their economic destiny. I don't think that is an unreasonable demand.
