As a westerner, we enjoy the mixing of the sexes. Men and women can freely walk down the street together, go to movies together, go to the beach together, go to school together. Women can go out in public with shorts and short sleeve shirts without being arrested, beaten or even stoned. But in some countries,just a simple thing like going out to eat on a date and holding hands as a couple will get you into serious trouble. Do any of you live in a country like that? If so, how do you feel about it? Do you agree that women should be covered and controlled. Do you believe in seperating the sexes in society?

Nah... not really. I think all of my bosses have been women. In fact, thanks to the spread of catholicism, they're sometimes treated like blessed virgins even when they're more like Mary Magdalenes. Women have doors held open for them, get all their bags carried for them and aren't expected to fight should a war break out. Nothing wrong with any of that, of course. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I think women should be pretty much equal. They're not really subjugated here in England, but of course they're still not treated as complete equals.

Well both sexes are still somewhat restricted by stereotypes and so on so I'm not sure we've hit the sweet spot. Having said that yeah the oppression I see in other places is creepy.

Not usually, but this is America. People of all beliefs are here, so some people still practice it.

There was a story in the news where a middle eastern guy of some religion murdered his three daughters because he believed they were "westernized" and wanted to do things like wear normal clothes and have boyfriends and ****.

So he shot them to death, and now he's in jail.

If you're American, then unfortunately you're statistically wrong. It really is too bad :| . Women really are subjugated in every country around the world though to some degree...

The glass cieling has yet to be shattered here in america. Women have more basic freedom than ever before, but the stereotypes still persist and men still dominate many tech fields that women should also participate in.

In my country of residence, there are very strict rules, standards, and the general awareness of certain culture-inspired taboos. That's mostly due to the fact that it's a Muslim country (and one of the strictest in the Middle East; it's one of the few where alcohol is still prohibited by law).

nope, but i'm beginning to wish they were... they're asking for equal treatment constantly, even though it's the US so they have it already, yet they still keep things like ladies first, holding the door for them, the man paying for dinner, etc, it all reminds me of an episode of cops. this little old lady was swearing at a cop and hit him, he threatened to tase her, she hit him again and he tased her, then she acts like it shouldn't be allowed cause she's a nice little old lady.

Actually, the girls were two and he killed them because they had boyfriends. Still, that is messed up. Sex segregation is beginning to fade away in my country but there are still some crazy people who are always there to ^^^^ things up for you. The only places I know that sex segregation is enforced are Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Iran.
