What do you think about the oppression of women in the Middle East?

As bad as it is for men over here I'd say.

Women flaunting their bodies with reckless abandon, even in the office.

Men cinched up in shirt and leash...I mean ties, can't even take off their jackets or risk being railroaded right out of office...and holly shit if they looked at the tits she is waving infront of them.

It's all about power and control over male sexuality, basically neutering us. I've often said that if female sexuality was as accused, defamed, oppressed, and punished as men they'd all be wearing burkas.

From what I hear, the compulsory head coverings, not being allowed to go about unaccompanied and other things, kinda barbaric

I think its just a part of the culture there. I met a lot of muslims and yet to have meet a muslim woman who feels oppressed. Maybe men from the Middle East would say that Western men are oppressed?

Dunno, but if theres any women oppression happening in the muslim world, its just the extremist parts of it

Middle east is a broad term, but in some areas there unfortunately its part of their culture, although it doesn't make it right. Mainly places like islam, Afghan and Arabic areas

The way woman in some places there are often treated like literal objects and forced into alot of things is pretty terrible. We shouldn't support it and we should tr to oppose it

Its a place that ironically needs a female rights movement to get Woman and Men on an equal spot

Wondering what this has to do with men's rights...

Quite simply I don't care how another country runs it's affairs. Too much taxpayer money has been spent and too many lives wasted on trying to convert other countries to "our values".

It’s not good but they also have some other issues to deal with

The Men's Rights Movement is a western movement made in response to modern feminism and other relevant social and legal issues. It is named after men because most movements are typically named after the oppressed group. Disregarding extremist viewpoints, activists and supporters are against oppression of any kind.

I am from algeria, which is not technically speaking a middle east country, but it's viewed by the west as part of the arabic and islamic world, I don't regard women here as being opressed, nor do the majority of women in that matter. And although public life is still male dominated, women generaly speaking are allowed to work, paid equally and they aren't forced into a marriage they don't want, I am very much opposed to the "westernisation" of our society as we will pretty much catch all the social issues you have now.

When you can't decide even the clothes you use it seems like oppression to me. Also. There's a huge taboo to even talk about it, just check what happened to Teo Van Gogh after his doc "submission".

So, I think it is more complex than a matter of base your opinions on a few brainwashed women there who say they are fine.
