I'm making the point, that Islam has nothing to do with women not being allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia.
on bolded part :wth:
I don't justify discrimination based on sex, but its not like western society is so advanced in that respect either. Women still do not get equal treatment in the workplace as men, women still get paid less on average than men do in Western countries.
There's a discernable difference between how Wahabi islam behaves and the fact that statistics like that will always be skewed by looking at the average - the number is fucked for a number of reasons - A, nature, when a woman gets pregnant she has a child and as a societal norm women are more involved in raising children and will work fewer hours, whether and second the tops of corporate companies are dominated by men, which is sexist, and they command the highest salaries and also the full equality laws have only been fully active in recent generations, to include women over the age of 50 who would have struggled to gain qualifications for higher paying jobs and even get the job when they have them. If you were to compare women between th ages of 20-50 without children against between men aged 20-50 in a wage bracket of 20 000 - 100 000 those numbers would be a lot more balanced.
Equality laws in the UK are so stringent that any form of discrimination will seriously fuck a company up.
when i said UAE i meant this
-----
Women in the UAE have a rather low level of protection in terms of physical integrity. Violence against women is quite common and laws that prohibit violence and verbal abuse do not apply in the home, making domestic violence a serious problem. In addition, the law does not recognise the concept of spousal rape. The existing Penal Code gives male guardians the right to discipline women and children at their discretion, including the use of physical violence. As noted by the US Department of State, a 2005 UAE university study found that 66 per cent of all women permanently residing in the country have experienced domestic abuse.
Violence against women committed by non-family members and outside the home is punishable with fines, prison sentences or even death in the case of rape. Non-citizen perpetrators run the risk of deportation. However, women rarely report their abusers because of shame and fear of social stigma.
Female genital mutilation is not illegal in the UAE, but the Ministry of Health prohibits the practice in state hospitals and clinics. Nevertheless, FGM continues to be carried out in private clinics and in rural areas. An estimated 30 per cent of the total female population are believed to have undergone some form of FGM; it is practised mainly among Somali, Omani and Sudanese expatriates living in UAE.
The sex ratio at birth is tilted in favour of males, suggesting that the UAE is a country of concern in relation to missing women.
