ye, most countries have more women in, but they are neglected in mens favour usually, less literate, bad health, that kind of thing. when the taliban were in power in afghanistan, they stopped women from working. the female doctors could only treat women anyway as it is a muslim country and they couldn't work anymore, becuase the men had the priority and they could only treat men, which meant women weren't allowed health access. as women need more healthcare than men, it gets me so angry the way most women that died in the regime, did becuase there were no healthcare for them becuase of the unconsideration of that fundamentalist group and they had to risk their lives going somewhere else if they could

i'm just reading about polygamy in islam, its disgusting. becuase of their society, women have no protection without a man, therefore they have to get married and many as second wives. the women have to tolerate it, becuase they can get cast off without thier kids becuase they are thier fathers possesions, they don't have a choice. its disgusting that men can get away with it becuase they say its better for men to have more partners to have children as a status symbol, just becuase the man wants it. its all about mens ago, its disgusting, they see it as the womens will to make thier husbands happy, all they want are cleaners, maids, cooks and prostitutes, they use it a contract, not a sacred vow, which shows they have their priorities all wrong

People are people, not possessions, they should be treated like people.
I suppose it's why in Chrisitanity it's important to follow the 10 Commandments, especially the most important "Love your neighbour as yourself".
And in a way, communist or socialism would be more fair, becuase at least then, everyone is equal and everyone gets the same rights.

Exactly. However, communism works in theory, but not in practice, because everyone is always going to want more.
