Best Answer

Many cultures are still patriarchal-- that is, they are dominated by men, who make the rules. In such cultures, women have few rights, and they are expected to confine themselves to the home. While in the west, most women today get educated and have careers in addition to being wives and mothers, some cultures like that of the Roma ("Gypsies") adhere to the ancient idea that a woman does not need education nor does she need to work; she should be "protected" from the outside world, and her duty is to obey her husband and raise the children. It should be noted that among Roma who have managed to get some education, this attitude is beginning to change, but for the most part, Gypsy culture remains very traditional and male-dominated. It is believed that if a woman works, she will become too independent, so she is not permitted to do so.
