In the US women are allowed to have the same jobs as men, and are, most of time, respected in the same aspect. But, there still is the occasional occurrence where women will be laughed at for wanting to do something that may be considered more of a man's job. There are still the comments like "Oh, she can't do that, she's not strong enough, she's a woman, that's a man's job." Even in America with so many freedoms, for both men and women, there is still the underlying thought that women are inferior to men. .
The US has the least problems among the other nations with equal rights for women. In some countries in the Middle East, women are not even allowed to be schooled. They are not allowed by law to learn to read and write. In some countries they are not even allowed to show their faces, or in some cases expose any skin. Life for women in these countries is very tough, so many woman that could be making a difference are restricted by law to housekeeping, and small secondary meaningless jobs, if any. There are many double standards with men and women also. In places around the world men are permitted to marry more than one woman, and then he owns her, but if women were to have another affair, they might be put to death, or seriously punished. .
Women all over the world are still fighting to be equal to men, some women having to fight harder than others. There are so many different cultures with many women who could make a big impact if given the chance. Hopefully these women will be given a chance in the future when there power is recognized worldwide.
