Re: I need yr views/opinion!!!
In order to honestly answer the question, one needs to focus on the disparity between men and women within those societies, rather than just the relative position of women with respect to an individual's ideals.
The average Afghan man means squat with respect to how society is run. In the rural areas, one is hard-pressed to find a meaningful freedom Afghan men enjoy that women don't.
Perhaps the only one I can think of is freedom of movement...but even then, that's often out of necessity, and given the harsh environment is probably not much of a freedom.
True disparity arises in the cities, where we see traditionalist mindsets trying to reconcile with radically different urban living conditions. Women often get a raw deal in this environment. But then, that's often a function of how sophisitcated a societies urban culture is.
