Fortunately, many Arabic countries are modernising, just as the West did in the past. The old intolerances are doomed to die; it's an inevitable societal change, I believe.So if you see an Arab woman being treated as inferior, you'll criticise the Arab ethnicity in general? That's what the thread title sounds like...I don't care about the past. I myself never have seen women as inferior; anyone who does, I'm going to criticize.
All I'm saying is that women still don't get equal opportunities and rewards, even in our countries, so everyone still has work to do with regards to equal rights.
On a slightly related matter, recent statistics have shown a huge increase in the amount of domestic violence inflicted on men by their female spouses in western countries... it's just reported less.
