U cant equate a working woman to that of a bimbo or sharmooty as it is done in da arab/muslim world. Actually in da case of saudi (where i visited multiple times and still have many friends and relatives working), oil has proven to b a curse in disguise. Religion is being used rather abused by the ruling male elite class to control women since they r insecure what a woman can achieve if given fair opportunities---its just that old stinking tribal mentality. In Peru, i saw firsthand females in da police force on high speed chases catching criminals and law breakers---Many of the men apprehended would b arrested by female police officers!!!---can u imagine this happening in da arab/muslim world??? even here in america, i have many female friends particularly from south america and they invited me to have dinner with their families----they would even introduce me to their brothers and none would take offense, ex, how i knew their sister etc----can u honestly imagine this taking place anywhere in da arab/muslim world??? if this was in da arab/muslim world,i or my female friends would had been killed as a matter of honor. Its all about mentality and unfortunately ppl have a pervert and narrow mentality in da arab/muslim world particularly in saudi and iran. Viva brasil,pureto rico, and peru!!!! god, da arab world, especially saudi stinks like hell—even south america is much better—even though they dont have oil and r poor third world countries, but they have a lot of talent and females work side by side with their male counterparts—Women work side by side with their male counterparts in almost every field and r looked with respect by their male co-workers and have da full support of their husbands, brothers and fathers.
