How come women from other countries don't have womens rights?

Answer 1

Back when history started, men went out and hunted while the women stayed home to care for the children and prepare the meals. They had no time to stop and think about anything while the men had plenty of time during the long and hard hunt so they discovered and invented new things in their spare time. The men got all the glory for improving their civilizations. Because of this, the men concluded that women were not smart so they should not be burdened with all the rights that men have.

This continued all through history with women fighting for equality the whole way. The first women to vote in anything remotely important was Sacagawea who got to vote near the end of the Lewis and Clark expedition on where to settle for winter.

Although, constitutionally, women should receive the same rights as men, many women are still reduced in scope and pay. The 19th amendment was passed by Congress June 4, 1919 and it gave women the right to vote but this has not increased women to equality with men.

Answer 2

Back then, men thought that they were more capable than women. Women wanted to show men they were capable to do the same things as men.

Answer2:

Women still have less rights than men in many parts of the world. Ethically speaking, a lot of the world still gets off on that "Might makes right" sort of thing. Most women just are not as physically tough as most men - there's always exceptions, of course. In the Middle East, the societies are strongly patriarchial. Male-dominated since pre-history. So women get sent to the back of the bus in those places.

Answer3

Women have so much more rights than men nowadays women can get away with cheating,stealing, going out with a student or rape. yet a man can't do anything of that he be charged and have to registier as a child offender loose his job and be look at like a whatever its called

Answer 3

Women were traditionally considered capable only of bearing children and living household lives (with notable exceptions for royalty). Only in the last century have women commonly assumed the previously exclusive male roles (business, politics, and professional) in society.

After seeing that a queen made as good or better a ruler as a king, men should appreciate that women have the same potential for succeeding as men, in almost all societal roles. However, change is always difficult, especially where women must deal with the competing demands of employment and motherhood.

Answer 4

The Bible held women to be lesser than man, so they set the society up to match.

Answer

The generally greater physical strength of men helped secure their position as the dominant members of society. Once you are in a position to control another group (such as women or slaves), it is very difficult for the oppressed party to get out from under the control of the oppressors. Only after people in a society evolve from warrior-type thinking can they begin to see that cruelty and oppression are wrong and do not make for a very good world for anyone to live in.

• One more note on the answer above: the Bible was written by men and used as yet another justification for the oppression of women. (History is written by the victors.)

Reality is more complicated than that. Viking men were undoubtedly just as much physically stronger than Viking women as man vs woman in every other population. And the Viking society would indeed have a lot of warrior-type thinking. Yet the old Norse laws granted considerable amounts of equality to the women, in many cases more than Europe/North America far later in history. Inheritance was split equally between sons and daughters, women could declare a divorce, run a farm under their own name. In trials and agreements their word was held just as valid as that of a man and so on.

Basically, just because one group is in a position to establish dominance doesn't mean that they will exploit that opportunity.

Answer 5

men didnt think that women should learn at regular school or work. They belived that all women are house wifes and young ladies were tought by there mothers to do daily housework , a sew, and so on!

Answer 6

women can vote and some others can't

because of the over protection of their husbands and over maleness in the rulers of those countries in those kinds of countries women are treated like a footmat it is so unfair

Answer 7

Attitudes towards women in the 19th century and before were simply different from those today. Until much of the second half of the 19th century education for women (certainly higher education) was generally seen as unnecessary for them, and women were seen as a sort of wards, first of their fathers and then of their husbands. As to those rights, women's rights in many Western countries until the early 20th century were on the same level as those of the majority of men, namely the around 70% who did not qualify for voting rights because of unsufficient income or posessions. Women in Switzerland by the way got the right to vote only in 1991.
