Women are absolutely more oppressed in Muslim countries in the Middle East than they are in the US and other Western countries. Absolutely.
Strangely enough, that was a cause on the feminist left for a long, long time before the right suddenly discovered they cared about women’s rights in the Middle East.
I think, for example, the rape statistics in Saudi Arabia probably cover up the massive amount of abuse and rape committed against foreign domestic servants.
The rate of rape in our society is still a tragedy
