I think there has been alot of progress as far as women's rights are concerned in countries such as the US and the United Kingdom. In the past century i think alot has been achieved thus far. Im not saying everything is perfect but u have to make special considerations (type of job, employer...physical limitations...like if the woman has a baby) there is alot of things to consider.
if we take a look at womens rights across the globe i think this issue is minuscule in comparison to what is going on in other parts of the world. I mean, in some places women have no rights! Her life is at the mercy of her husband/father or whichever male relative is in her possession. In some countries a woman cannot leave her house without permission from her husband. She cannot drive (its better her 12yr old son drives because he is a man and has better sense) A woman is not allowed to be seen with a man who she isnt related to and if she is caught she can be convicted of adultery and sentenced to death. How about the idea that not only do u have to cover ur face and body so not a spec of human flesh is shown but u cannot speak above a whisper in public places because u might arouse a man and be punished for doing so!
There are alot of issues i can go into detail about..marriage arrangements(its funny how people condemn rape..but a man of 60yrs with 3 wives is allowed to marry a girl of 11 yrs old and no one says anything about it), female circumcision, adultery, SEXUAL SLAVERY...i mean i can go into grosteque detail about these violations...
