Answer 1

I think the correct question here is, how different did the women got treated then the current ones in the O sooo mighty western world today. From what I know, OTOMAN had more respect to women. Never treated then like sex objects. Never forced them to work. They truly got treated like goddess. Ask your self, an EMPIRE lasted for over 4 centuries! Countless generations! You don't get to do that unless you did most things right.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, for the writer of Answer 1, history does not work through inductive reasoning based on shaky premises. It is a study of evidence. Women in the Ottoman Empire existed with many more differences than Western women as determined by their station and ethnicity. It was illegal for women to join most professions, so many stayed at home where they had relative freedom of mobility. Ottoman Nobility famously had harems full of beautiful women from across the Empire who had access to the greatest quality of life provided that the noble could request her personal presence at any moment. Women had little if any worth in Ottoman courts (their testimony being worth half of a man's) and they were more or less forbidden from inheriting property. As to Answer 1's rhetorical question of how the Ottoman Empire could survive for centuries while repressing women, the answer is simple: the Ottoman Army was the most advanced army in 1400s-1600s and afterwards they did not lose their empire as those under their rule did not have effective means of resistance. It had nothing to do with women.
