In Occidental religions the situation is probably not very bad. They view women as stay at home persons who should raise their kids and feed their husbands. But I don’t really think that anyone pays attention to these concepts today, even if they believe in God and go to church. Woman here have the freedom to choose having a career if they want to. They don’t get paid as well as men in a lot of professions, which has my husband worried because he wants to retire at 40.
But some Muslim women in the Arab world seem to get the worst part. Men have to tell them how to dress, they can’t show their face in public and have to stay at home and raise kids. They are not allowed to work. I think that in some cases they have to walk a few meters behind their husbands with the kids because they are not equal. These societies put women in a second place, distant from men which are in the first place. I am sorry for the women who have to live in this society.
