Throughout the world, feminism activists' voices are increasingly rising and demanding equality. However, due to the views of some cultures toward women, feminism is being turned down or simply ignored or sometimes punished. A lack of rights can be found in both worlds whether it was in career choice, sexual assault cases, or stereotypical roles assigned to the women. The United States, in contrast to the Arabic world, provides more freedom and autonomy for the women regarding laws of equality. Numerous women hold important positions in society. A contemporary example would be Hillary Clinton, who held the secretary of state position, and an older example would be Rebecca Falton, who became the first woman elected to the United States Senate. Also, in the United States, murder is considered a horrible crime, while it is justified as an act of manhood in some cases in the Arabic World. In the United States, women are not always controlled by religious customs, while most Arabic women are expected to teach the lessons of religions to the next generation. In addition, in contrast to the Arabic world, women are not largely viewed as a male's possession or servant anymore. Sometimes the preposterous bans limit women rights, such as the inability to drive in Saudi Arabia. No matter where a women is now, her rights are not completely granted whether it be by law or the stereotypical view of society.
To begin, politics do not only indicate the ability to hold office, but the ability to vote and have a say in the government's methods. In the Arabic world, the ability for women to hold office is hindered by the stereotypical image that a women cannot make independent decisions and are not intelligent enough to think productively. Another challenge is the existence of patriarchy in the Arab society which takes power from women [Sab14]. The Arabic world consists of three hundred and seven million persons and women account for fifty percent of the population.
