Gender Stratification In The United States

Oppression of women is in the Middle East is present almost everywhere. In 2011 women were allowed to work in lingerie stores in Saudi Arabia. Previously, men were selling women bras and panties because the avoidance of "mingling" and being in the same store between the sexes at work meant that most shops had male assistants. So a man staring at your chest to guess your bra size was perfectly fine but a women driving a car, as they do in every other country, is not.

In middle eastern society Many may claim that the women in the middle east are being oppressed but the same may be said about women living in the west. Until quite recently in time women here in the United States received an equal status to men. Whereas these traditions and

In the Middle East there are many restrictions against women. However there are people who are fighting to support women or others who just do care about the women well beings. We might not see that there are many injustices committed every day and every time, because we just do not hear about it or we do not take the time to realize what is really surrounding us. People had various reactions against the government. For example we saw many who had solidarity for women, and others who decided to only complain about why women should be treated as second class. I believe that we actually need to take the time to learn about what is really happening in the world. Personally, I say this because I also had no idea what was injustices

When we look back through history you will find a timeline of events showing exactly when women gained certain rights and for what. Most of these events occurred in the late 1800’s and all throughout the 1900’s. Since 2000 the women of Saudi Arabia have gained 9 new rights even being as small as being able to have an ID.Ever since the rule of King Fahd the rights of women in Saudi Arabia have been growing, although some of the rights might seem little but

It is not hard for a woman to feel that the country is discriminating against her. In fact, I believe that is what made the video store incident to me, a “stupid” thing, not a something that I should cry over. What is more, No women in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabian women don’t have any privacy while they are out and about with their lives. They all must have a guardian with them at all times. For example, if a women wants to go out in public, she must be escorted by a driver because Arabian women aren’t allowed to drive. She also has to have a guardian with her where ever she goes. A grown women who is able to take care of herself doesn’t need to be chauffeur around 24/7. It’s not possible for a women to be independent with all the rules and laws that they are required to obey. In a piece “Under the Abaya” by an “American Girl” who lived in Saudi Arabia says, “In Saudi Arabia, women, regardless of age, are or marital status are required to have a male guardian. A woman cannot

For example, Jim Crow laws and segregation oppressed the black community, in which provided a major factor in the Civil Rights Movement. More of this is most notable in Birmingham, where protesting is usually met with police brutality. MLK even states that, “All segregation are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality” (King 4). This shows that the Jim Crow laws that were enforced in Birmingham and other states were unreasonable because the white community as the majority forced these laws on the black community, or the minority. It limited their voting capabilities and job opportunities. In similar fashion, the Male Guardianship System also restricted and oppressed women and their liberties, very much in the same way how blacks were. It does not allow Saudi women to do a single thing without the presence of a male relative or a male in general. Abdullah Al-Alweet states that it was “high time” the practice ended. This tells us that women and blacks were both very similar in terms of condition. They both dealt with unjust laws, although Saudi women are still going through it. Both have also protested, but it did not work out in the Saudi women’s favor. Each might have been in different times, but share the same conditions and that is subjugation and constraint by their respective

Over the course of history, gender inequalities have been a prevalent issue amongst countries around the world. The notion, women are inferior to men has shaped their treatment in all aspects of life. Women were subjected to a patriarchal role in society, the men worked and women took care of domestics to some degree greater or lesser depending the country they resided in. In the late 19th and early 20th century women started rising up against male dominated societies in feminist movements. These movements were campaigns and reform plans to combat issues of equal pay, sexual violence, and denial of suffrage, reproductive rights, equal job opportunities and property rights. Thus observing women in Great Britain and Saudi Arabia today one can see how the role women play in society has dramatically changed from 1800s till now.

In today’s world, many people believe men are the ones who possessed the physical, and mental endurance to do beyond and greater things then woman. America and the Middle East share some similarities, but have more differences when it comes to women’s right, education, and freedom.Women in American gained their rights during the 1920s (Women Suffrage Movement ), and until this day women in the Middle East are struggling to obtain their rights, because of the domain society the live in.

However, it is not major currently now a day, however, it is still practiced in minor groups or cultures, such as in some of the developing cultures. Yet it highly diminished in the majority of developed countries. Now a day there are high percentages of the presence of women in power and in the legislature. Models of women in power, such as the queen of the united kingdom Elizabeth and HE Sheikha Lubna bint Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi is a minister of state for tolerance. Furthermore, women acquire equal rights with men in learning, working and gaining positions for instance. Besides, a difference in the income a woman gains compared to a man does, were both performs similar jobs and accomplishing the same outcomes may coexist. In conclusion, differences in gender presently are not predominant as it was previously long

From the beginning of time, women all around the world have been fighting to escape oppression. Women everywhere are living under the control of men and are often looked over; it has been an ongoing issue for years. Much too often women are treated as lesser human beings just because of their gender. Women and men both have the same capability to do great things in the world; it is just a matter of making it known. Throughout the years, many women have found their voice, but many have not. More specifically, women in Middle Eastern countries have fought to have education, jobs, and even basic human rights. Today in the United States it is common for women to be as in control and educated as men, but women in the Middle East are still fighting for that right. The women from these countries fear for their lives every time they attend school. Oppressed women in the Middle East are denied access to education that they must seek due to the negative economic, political, and cultural expectations placed on them.

Although many women in Saudi Arabia are educated, many of them remain unemployed and the income gap continues to exist. Women are expected to fill the low-income positions of the informal market and are often discriminated against when applying for positions of higher status. Moreover, the feminization of family care in the Middle East inhibits women from entering the workforce. “Although many women are educated in the oil-rich countries,

One is that what the Saudis believe to be true is not true. Evidence of that can be seen in the United States. In this country woman are allowed to drive. Statistics show that woman both cause less accidents and the amount of damages also costs less (source: 2007 AAMI claims data)

Saudi Arabia is one of the most gender segregated countries in the world. Did you know that women aren't allowed by law to drive in Saudi Arabia? The article Saudi Arabia’s Freedom Riders by Neil Macfarquhar explains how the ban on driving is just one of the many restrictions in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia needs to be more gender equal towards women.

Gender inequalities, which have become more and more dominant in societies, have affected women all across the world. In relation to Middle Eastern countries, there have been rules that women must oblige by constituted along with their religion. Whereas in the United States religion isn’t as dominant, but rather the thoughts and gender microaggressions when compared to male counter-parts are more significant. The misogyny in both regions consists of the deprivation of gender rights that are given by their government, such as the Women’s Suffrage movement in the U.S. Middle Eastern countries have a similarity in which the Quran acts as the law towards Muslim women. Even though there have been acts like the Equal Pay Act created in the U.S, the
