Many people do not count women as humans. Everyone cries about sl@very but ppl forget that women too were and are insl@ved. No one sees it as a human rights issue and many shameless ppl in the comment section itself are trying to justify it
One argument says this: Failing women doesn't fail a country. Infact the opposite is true. Say why? Because the more you empower women the less fertility your nation will have. Eventually it will disappear.
why they fail? because women are not a motivation for men to develop better more just and comfortable societies. Without women they remain caveman forever, women move men and men move the world. Tale as old as time.
Na they are correct for many of these conservative and backward countries the ratio is higher for men and lower for women. Female foeticides are thing you know and these are incredibly high in such countries. @@MyNameThe1st
Fear and frustration, yes! I learned this in therapy. Many men are desperate for love, caring and intimacy. The one's who can't accept their inner needs and emotions, are usually the one's who get agressive and violent towards women. They have a deep fear of being rejected, left alone or hurted, that's why they seek control and power so nobody can challenge their self-esteem (which basically is low). Secure and mature men, don't even have to think about controlling someone, 'cause ppl who respect themselves do respect others as well, especially women.
@@neo1053 That's not true. People need each other - no one group can accomplish anything on their own. Men are half of the population, and the more powerful half at that. They own most of the property and powerful businesses, they are the majority of politicians, they have the power to intimidate women and make them afraid of them. We women need men to support us. Men also need women to support them and value them.
@@neo1053 literally who's "you"?? Never seen a single activist sit back and enjoy the sunlight waiting for other forces to give them rights. It's always the unoppressed (let's put it that way), in this case misogynistic men, enjoying their couches expecting women to do all the work they don't wanna do and more powerful men to keep the status quo for them
@@neo1053 The problem is that men, who don't treat woman like equals, won't listen to women, because woman isn't equal to men in his mind. And here is where men have to step in. There is way higher chance that a men, that I described previously, will listen to an other men and change his treatment of woman.
@@neo1053 Search up the word equity for me please. I need you to realize it's the same ignorant attitude of yours that keeps us back. Women are already taken less serious than men, you think if a group of women protest against one man they're actually going to get something done? No! because the society we live in is unjust. However, a man speaking out in support of women's protest is likely to be taken more seriously, because as a man, they share the same "intellectual ground" for these sexist men running our nations.
@@neo1053 ? Not save. Just speak up against it. The slaves freed themselves but there were white people who protested alongside them because they are human beings. The men in afghanistan have no soul
How strange that the nation is unstable when 50% of their population isn't allowed to contribute to it. They are missing out on a half the labor force, intellectual capacity and societal participation. I can't imagine anyone is happy if every household has a miserable person in it.
That's not even the gist of it the problem is is that there are people that are delusional that believe that they're entitled to be regulating other people's energy activities choices revenues whatever resources in this delusion that basically sets up a number of individuals who are really arrogant and truly believe that you and I and the rest are solely here to be a forever profit machine while we are cells are dehumanized and diminished furthermore it is not a requirement to even have a alleged job now that's not to say that you cannot be productive of course you should be self-sufficient and you should be responsible to those of which you create or that you're procreating with and so forth and people have went out of their way to destroy the family unit and then come up with all of these concepts such as racial divide and whatever what have we in order to profit and exploit off of majority of the masses that's all that has occurred there is only one such thing what race is a human being not a human race it's a human being we're human beings we are not racingwe're supposed to be more evolved than this but apparently we are not and then furthermore procreation rights has been sabotaged and disrespected for I don't know how long it's probably since the dawn of time whereas these certain brackets of male and female who have no business making human beings because they lack the personality traits and skill sets in order to raise efficiently a human being so that most of us end up broken scarred and damaged because of these psychologically or rather blatantly wicked or toxic so-called a legend parents of hours many of us never had parents we were doing the raising of our parents and their children more so than us being raised so then across the board all the human beings that are being disrespected and being exploited and abused and all those wounds add up to all this scarring all these problems which basically isolates us from each other whereas we don't want to talk about it don't know how to talk about it don't know how to resolve it because we either are not acknowledging these issues I believe it's very simple how you solve them you would be able to identify who is it that is the main beneficiaries of any sort of anything who is the one that is receiving the revenues for these things and then you're going to follow that and figure out where that is and who that is and who is in charge of that who is old much in this country or all over the world is the mother the father and the child
men compete but they hate it hence they remove women cuz when they don't women out pace them and they can not compete which is why women's rights are the first to go as soon as the male comfort to being outpaced reaches critical mass as we see now in the US hardly had rights for 70 years and the men are too uncomfortable.
They are definitely contributing A LOT. Raising children, taking care of the elderly family members, caring for a home... the problem with that is that it is unpaid labour and also not one that they chose freely
I don't understand people debating this notion that women and men should be equal for a country or society to prosper. Even if you are not a feminist, it's just common sense. If you think about it rationally, a country that doesn't allow 50% of it's population from contributing to it's economy will absolutely be behind another country that does allow it, unless and until the former has a monopoly on some vital resource. So why would you want to tackle problems with one hand tied behind your back?
A society that does not have a fertility rate above 2.1 will cease to exist. A sure fire way to fall below 2.1 is give women university degrees and a career path.
It’s important to recognise that gender specific roles do exist. Anyone who says that women should go to work like men, compete with men and eventually replace men is insisting on a totally unsustainable approach for the wellbeing of our society.
It’s important to recognise that traditional gender roles should continue to exist. When women go to work like men, compete with men and eventually replace men; it will lead to an unsustainable civilisation.
Also women, especially mothers are very first teachers to young children. It starts with telling night stories, then reading some books, and educating about facts from local history with age appropriate way. Denying women education cripples next generations who often have to repeat brutal history over and over.
Excellent comment! This is the essence of it. A subjugated and uneducated mothers are what helps these obsolete structures and customs to be passed on and on instead of gradually abandoning them.
We are one of the only mammals that have menopause, with only a handful of other creatures like elephants ond orcas. All very intelligent and matriarchal species, also the females outlive the males quite substantially. Scientist theorize this could be because our species rely on the teachings of women, especially older women. Evolutionarily, it is more beneficial to have the older women stop giving birth and take up teaching and leading, rather than risk her wealth of knowledge and experience potential dying in birthing children with an older body. It is also not as evolutionarily beneficial for the males to survive into old age and spread their wisdom, and thus the males of these species all die younger than the females
It's true, especially the first years (during breastfeeding) the baby is constantly attached to the mother, so the mother plays a huge role in forming that child's perception
It’s very easy: If both men and women are happy, fulfilled, satisfied with life, the society is balanced, the nation is happy, healthy and prosperous. If one side wants to oppress or hurt the other side, the society is unbalanced, sick and such nation can’t prosper. Both working men and women contribute to economy, culture and society equally.
@@SlashHarkenUltra Working inside the home, giving birth, not to mention getting underpaid while working outside the home is all contributions women make, if not more contributions than men themselves do
@@SlashHarkenUltra Children . Your existence is proof of that . Only one of the genders can grow a child while risking their bodies for it then raise the child . In alot of counties women are the ones mainly raising children and doind house work . Your comment is disgusting i dare you to say that to your mother
@@eviscerus1322 "He didn't say he has proof of anything but I'll get around that by saying it *sounds* like he thinks he has proof of something. I'm so clever!" You're really not, sorry.
It's sad that you have to present a whole essey on how oppressing women is bad because it causes this, this and that, as if *oppressing women* wasn't bad in it of itself. I feel like some really struggle to see women as actual people.
Because if entire other half of the population is not having repercussions then their is no real problem to begin with, if there is a systemic problme it will afffect both men and women, no other way around it
This enrages me. No one cares if something hurts women unless it somehow affects men. (i.e most dont care about feminism unless its linked with racism or lgbt since men are in the latter two groups).
A lot of parents see their children as pension funds, because the girls leave the family on marriage, they expected a payment for her. The sons are expected to take care of their parents in their old age. It would be nice if parents do not see their children as commodities but in real life, it is what it is. Parental love is a myth in most part of the world.
@@SlashHarkenUltra men do sporadic chores that are more respected while women are expected to be responsible for multiple daily tasks that takes up hours out of the day and are taken for granted, but sure it's men who are slaves... No to mention that men have never been corralled into marriage the way women have and a lot of the skills men are taught or socialized to learn can potentially earn you a better living than the skills women are taught or socialized to learn. And on top of that, its been way more normalized for men's tasks to be outsourced. As for protection, the whole paradigm is nonsensical because women are way more likely to be harmed by our SO than by some stranger. The protection thing is largely peacocking but for other men. You're way less likely to have to protect your wife from anything than she is to be harmed in childbirth (which women are also expected to do for free)
Women should have equality to men in terms of opportunities, but we should also get paid maternity leave because we have an additional burden of pregnancy that men do not have to deal with. Until the more developed countries learn to do that, the less developed countries will blame “gender equality” for the problems caused by countries that fail to have adequate maternity leave policies.
Considering that the wellbeing of children is so interconnected with the wellbeing of the mothers who give birth to them, it isn't surprising Children are the future leaders after all
Exactly. Studies show the happiness of the mother is directly correlated to the happiness of her children. Your childs success depends on how happy the mother is.
They're also more intelligent on average. Plus, they also are much more stable mentally, and industrious. Angry misogynistic men usually are the lower rung men. The bottom of the barrels.
Aside from greater violence in the society you lose the talents and energies of 50% of your society In successful societies you see women entrepreneurs, doctors engineers teachers IT professionals and on and on it goes. Then you subjugate women, refuse to allow their talents and energies to flower and bear full fruit, what do you expect. You are trying to grow wealth with 1 hand tied behind your back.
@@d.3521 If you’re talking abt birth rate then the country needs to implement laws that give higher wages to families so they won’t be burdened by having another person to feed, allow maternity leave, reduce working hours so people have time to take care of their children or find a partner.
@@hallooos7585 True, but even in countries with long paid maternity leave birth rates are dropping. Obviously, the solution isn't to take away reproductive rights like the US is doing but money won't solve the issue for most countries. That's why immigration is still necessary.
Can we also acknowledge the elephant in the room, namely a fundamentalist interpretation of religion. This is used to reinforce and justify the oppression and mistreatment of women.
I mean religion is just a way for societies to organize people. Many religions don't necessarily *have* to be sexist but since it benefitted powerful men they ended up that way. Muhammed's first wife was an important businesswoman. Early Christianity was spread in part due to powerful women in Roman society. Things like female circumcision appear nowhere in Islamic texts
@vanessac1965 there wouldn't be Halal financing, halal financial products, and Islamic banking here in Malaysia, if it isn't a concern. So please read up before embarrassing yourself with ignorance.
The saddest part of this is that just the idea of failing women isn't horrifying, you have to tell people that it's going to lead to the downfall of the whole country for it to start to matter. perhaps even not then.
How is Australia considered one of the LEAST misogynistic countries?! CSA & SA is rampant and widely ignored. If Australia is one of the least misogynistic nations, then my heart breaks for the rest of the world
The thing is, you guys have higher reportings of cases like these. In other countries like mine, 87-90% cases of r*pe don't even get reported as women are made to think that r*pe is consensual. Yes, the rest of the world is incredibly horrific.
It’s because the expectation is so low. Switzerland, Australia, the uk etc are still rampant with misogyny but they do not have half as much gender discriminatory laws like ban of female secondary education, women in high political positions etc as these war torn nations.
Some men don't like hearing this; but women are the most important part of any society. The men often get so caught up in what is "manly" and what isn't, that everything falls apart if women aren't there to pick up the pieces behind the scenes. You might not like it, but it is the truth. This is why empires ruled by women were all so peaceful and successful throughout history, until men swooped in to mess it all up again.

It's a big part of the patriarchy. It controls men by making them constantly compete with each other and then says "well if you earn it you can mistreat your woman/women so there's your reward". Men punch down and at each other instead of focusing on the things that are actually making them miserable
No this is just a liberal BS, A long time ago someone told me liberal try to replace every economical issue with social issues. Every country they have stated is economically backward either going into or recovering from civil war, proxy war played by international power for geo-political leverage. And Americans are also moving in that direction because of high inflation and low income. All issues of violence, misogyny, social clashes, poverty, famine can be traced back to income inequality. Don't believe in their lies. This is exactly what right is also feeding young men as well but for them problem is shown as women.
@@SonOfMorning Ah yes Trump and all the weird Senators supporting these laws are all just immigrants.... Wait, they are almost exclusively white, american and of course, men.
Repeat with me. women are people too. So often we're seen as lesser and that in and of itself is a sick worldview. Different does not mean lesser, it just means we're different from men with our own strengths and weaknesses like men have their own
We create all humans. Without us our race dies. We provide life and are given suffering, pain, and death in return. Nations, much like households aren't ruled, they're run. We know from history that women that run countries and civilizations prosper. Maybe it's just time to go the way of Lilith and have our own. So many women are done asking to be treated like humans when we're the ones taking on all the sacrifice of creating the human race and most of us are providing for it too. Let misogynists have their male only societies and they can crumble with them.
Sure I repeat it with you : women are people too! (even though its obvious, but cant hurt haha) I fully agree that women being viewed as less is a sick worldview. I like your statement because you want to uplift women without trying to bring down men. In my feeling in the West many feminists are toxic in trying to uplift women by invalidating men, but you arent. Kudos to you!
Who gets drafted the most when the nations are in danger? Whose mental problems get unnoticed the most? Who gets judged more harshely? Whose su*cide numbers is higer and life expactancy is lower? Tell me?
@houseplant1016Feminists want to solve solve those problems too, you'd know that if you'd ever listen to us. "MRA"s only talk about that stuff to make women shut up Like you're doing right now, Mr. Troll :)
@houseplant1016The answer is men. Everything you stated is correct and the fact that they usually don't care that's one of their biggest flaws. However with that being said nothing that person said (OP) was false. For example I hear stories in places like Afghanistan where they brought back stoning women for adultery after the USA left.
@houseplant1016 That is a huge problem, something that as society we need to fix, BUT if you WATCHED THE VIDEO, we are talking about underdeveloped countries where women are often treated worse and more oppressed than their male counterparts. Each gender has their own challenges, that is just how the world is.
This made me emotional. We women face this even in our own home, my own mother and brother fed me less because according to latino culture women eat less. I was malnourished as a teenager and as a result i am a very small, thin and weak adult. I cant gain weight no matter what i do. I will always stand up for my fellow women and girls ❤ and also for our men who protect and defend us also ❤
I pray for the women and men living under such Authority. A law that says you should never be seen and your voice never to be heard, what kind of life is that? And the fathers and brothers of women who get punished are suffering too❤ we value our Nana and Aunties in my family, they are the backbone, absolutely necessary for the overall success of our family ❤
When the genders are equal and both genders are respected, we see the greatest success. Seeing people as people not commodities, changes so much. If you have a scapegoat then you can blame the scapegoat instead of having to look your problems in the face and actually deal with them. These are things that are universal and never change, but are also the hardest challenges we face. Thankfully, as we become better educated, we are slowly fighting our way forward.
I am surprised that Switzerland is scored low at misogyny. I don't find it factual. Swiss themselves say that the society is constructed on conservative patriarchal mentality. Women integration in work places is rather preferred to house care, children raising. Even the paid maternity leave is a joke.

Being able to say your country has a patriarchy problem openly is significantly better than gender apartheid and bride prices. There had to be a 0 on the scale for emphasis, but no nation on earth has no sexism or isnt built on patriarchy

It’s relative, of course. It also depends on how many people we want to import who believe that women, whether in their own families or women of their host country, are not even human.
Literally! In societies where women are pushed down, it puts so much pressure on the man to do everything in society and to provide for his family with no help at all… if he goes down the whole family does, that’s an awful thing to have hanging over one’s head
No, we don't need feminism for that. Infact women should understand feminism is more harm to women than men as they will never be happy with the rights
@@obz1357 That's fair. Some people distort the meaning of it but I just mean like basically treating women like the human beings they are and allowing them equal rights and opportunities.
There are religions in the world that promote having more than one wife. The main prophets did it, so the men follow their lead. It's the same with marriage age. Iraq recently lowered its marriage age to 9 because the main prophet they follow married a girl aged 9. You can't ignore that as a major contributing factor
There's a reason they're called patriarchal religions. I'd say they are not even spiritual, they're just political movements preaching wars & inequality.
u are absolutely right , i as a girl living in muslim country in a muslim family get so sad and confused whenever i think about this fact....no matter what i try to explain myself but deep down i know it was so wrong and the sad thing is if i ever even say it infront of anyone i would probably be killed buz its blasphemy to even say that the prophet did a wrong thing....i dont want anyone to be in such a helpless situation as i am, just pretending to have faith in something which u dont want to accept it ...
First world countries COULD have their part in stabilizing other nations if they didn't benefit from the lack of stability. If countries in Africa and Asia were starting to prosper, care about womens, children and workers rights, then rich people couldn't use them as slaves for cheap labor
Hearing that Switzerland is scoring low on misogyny, as a Swiss i just wanna say that we still have a lot of sexism happening, we were one of the last countries in Europe to give women the right vote. So yea even in the "least" misogynistic country, we still have a lot to improve.
Consider women as a human being first. She has all the natural rights plus human rights. No one can deny that. Stop atrocities against women. I feel bad for African women and women of Afghanistan, Iraq etc. They are very very strong. These weak men can only run with guns on their shoulders ruining the life of society as a whole.
As a man, I'd rather say that nations that oppress any group because of their group identity are backwards. I don't wanna live in a society where I'd be oppressed as a man, and I don't wanna oppress women, LGBT*, people of other races, etc. Everyone should get equal opportunities, so only their merits decide their fate.

I was horrified when my best friend told me about his mother in Pakistan. She was playing with friends, aged 14, when her father came to her and announced that she was marrying the next day. He had effectively sold her to a man almost 20 years older than her. She had her first of 8 children when she was 15. She suffered domestic violence and poverty, and one day, her husband did not come home. He had married a 2nd wife and moved into a house that was part of her bride price. The first wife was left destitute, with eight children and a family that did not care. When my friend told me, I cried. I had spent my 35-year career teaching in a girls' school here in England. Looking back, many of my female colleagues did little to change the then status quo for girls. They were successful and thought that if they could succeed, then any woman could succeed. They were blinkered. As a man, seeing their situation from the outside, I knew this was very wrong, and I spent my energies teaching my students how to be assertive, how important their role in society should be, and that they should never feel that they couldn't do something just because they were female. There is still a way to go, but I look back with pride in my role in supporting the rights of all people to be treated equally.
@@FictionHubZA Not only in Abraham's religions, liar. Sexism in non-Abrahamic religions often manifests through doctrines and practices that subordinate women. For instance, in certain interpretations of Jainism, women are deemed incapable of achieving spiritual liberation without first being reborn as men, reflecting a belief in their inherent spiritual inferiority. Similarly, some Buddhist traditions have historically restricted women's access to full ordination, limiting their roles within monastic communities. In Hinduism, texts like the Manusmriti prescribe a patriarchal social order, emphasizing women's subordination to men throughout their lives. These examples illustrate how religious doctrines can perpetuate gender inequalities.
Who cares. Religion is a personal thing. It's the herd mentality that creates easy to manipulate beings. It's not an external reason, it's internal. Men hate themselves and are insecure. And that why the world looks like that and women who collaborate with them have the same problem. Only that they were inflicted with it. Men choose it.
BTW Japan is one of the outliers, scoring incredibly low on gender equality accdg to UN and WHO stats, but is politically stable. Also, needs intersectionality discussion. But truly, thank you for the video. It has incredibly important information and again, the basic messages are upheld by data. Makes me think try again of what horrors await the USA w a second Trump term.
I mean they never really paid all the reparations towards all the countries they attacked in WW2, plus they became a superpower due to their resources being more stable post-war, which is honestly unfair, but see where their economy is going these days On the other hand, we have the Philippines, which has the highest gender equality score in Southeast asia, yet we have low GPD and we're politically unstable, mostly because of the wars below and what our lovely neighbor China has been doing for decades in our economy So there are so many factors, just that this vid is going to the extreme
They're basically dying out population-wise though. Of course if they alternatively relaxed their xenophobia and allowed more immigrants to become citizens they could up their population that way
Because political stability doesn't depend only on "gender equality." The countries with low political stability that they mentioned are unstable because of other major factors. Attributing it to sexism is just dumb and ignorant.
I've always maintained that for men to behave in this way is a demonstration of insecurity and weakness. A country needs to use all the talent it has available to succeed and thrive and if half of it is locked in a dark room that is a pitiful statement about the confidence for the expected future of that country
Not only is it necessary for all fathers out there to realize the value and importance of women in society, it is also important that mothers do their hardest in putting an end to raising boys to become despicable men and that involves breaking with traditions. Parents are the reason and the solution to this problem.
a mother can only do so much. if a son sees that society doesnt respect his mother, that his father treats her badly, he will internalise that no matter how hard she works to teach him well and go on to treat all women how he has seen his mother be treated.
@ the mother has an active role in deciding which father and what society her child is going to grow up with. Of course this comes with limitations in certain cultures but in general (!) it is wrong to portray the mother as a passive and helpless party in a son’s life. That’s one of the many reasons that superficial “awareness” doesn’t work if all we do is hold only the fathers and men accountable.
@@Reckoning2943I’m so sorry but no, mothers shouldn’t have to “try their hardest” to raise men to become better. Men (specifically men in many of these oppressive countries) should learn to be better men and stop oppressing women. A lot of these men, I’m sure were raised by decent mothers who gave them what they needed to survive because theses countries often put males over females and we see that in how male offsprings are raised compare to female offspring.
@ and that’s were you are wrong, mother and father both teach their kids what they were taught and mothers, on average, have the biggest influence on a child development since they, again, on average, spend more time with their kids than their fathers. They play a crucial role in a child’s development of morale and empathy. I can speak from experience that it’s often mothers as well who do their fair share in letting boys be boys and girls be “what is expected of a woman”. If you grew up in a western household or a household that is heavily influenced by those progressive standards, then you know fairly little about certain cultural dynamics here. It shows in your naive take on this topic. I’ve heard way too many stories about how mothers supported a patriarchal system, how mothers would send their sons out to bring the daughters back home from a party, with force if they must, how mothers would silently support “honor” k!llings of girls who misbehave, I could go on for ever. To exclude mothers and women in general from this conversation is a grave mistake and one of the biggest reasons why we seem to barely make any progress in this. All humans shape the future of humanity through their children so all humans, regardless of gender, are responsible.
@@Reckoning2943 Im going to go back on what I said then, your statement that “mothers should do their hardest” doesn’t sit right with me. I agree that both parents influence their children but in society when a child grows up to be a criminal, 9 times out of 10 the blame isn’t equally shared and the mother is held at fault. Also, the reason why so many women do their fair share of letting “boys be boys” often stems from the patriarchal system of many societies and households. Not excusing these women but I’m just saying that they are in a way conditioned to think this way. Also, when it comes to the oppression of women in these countries, I believe men are mostly responsible. Honor killings and other sorts of backwards traditions aren’t “silently supported” by women, these women are extremely brainwashed and also, what can they even do? If they speak up they’ll also get killed.
South Sudan is not an Islamic country. And women are more oppressed in muslims backgrounds than other backgrounds. There is a difference between North Sudanese and South Sudanese when it comes to violence and gender inequality.
One could say that any fundamentalist interpretation of religious doctrine subjugates women. Fundamentalist Christianity and Judaism subjugate women as well as fundamentalist Islam.
@TheCoolJavelin7 uh, yeah. what exactly is your point? it being worse elsewhere doesnt mean we should be complacent, or **thankful** that our rights are being stripped. human suffering will still increase, as our nation's citizens' capacity to alleviate some suffering abroad via charity and volunteer work **decreases**.
That's why they take away contraception and reproductive education so women have so many children it doesn't matter as much. I remember my mum talking to me about when she went to Pakistan and all the women wanted to know was how they could get contraception.
How about DRC where bride price is not likely practiced and it has a very strong matrilineal and matriarchal system. The true problem is povery and lack of female education.
women, are people. people are a part of society. when societies fail large groups of people everybody fails because societies are made mostly of people. stay with me now...
When women are denied equal opportunities and rights, nations lose out on their full potential for economic growth, social progress, and political innovation. Societies that empower women tend to be more prosperous and stable

wow. as an indian girl, this entirely changed my perspective on cultures where men gave dowry, i thought that could be more favourable to women. i guess NOT. ok big emotional rant coming ahead. in india we follow a culture where women are the ones that pay dowry and men are gold digggers. it has systematically caused indian women's societal status to deplete, it has lead to mass female infanticide and femicide because daughters were made out to be a big financial liability and having a son was like winning a lottery, you get paid for it, you get a free maid for a lifetime, people used to burn down women in india over not getting a fridge or a tv till the late 2000s. it was so bad that indian goverment had to ban knowing the gender of the baby because as SOON AS people found out it was a girl, they would abort. this led to a gender imbalance too. even tilll this day women are treated like liability in india and men ike kings/ and guess what, 90% indian men and their families are still all about wanting dowry and putting women's parents under financial debt. they do not value the fact that women leave their homes to serve man and his parents, give their youth, labour and body. this is also why i was/am obsessed with marrying OUT of indian culture. i guess i will just also leave out cultures where men pay dowry bc that also involves violance against women. that leaves me with...NOTHING. no eastern culture treats women like humans? fine. i will not get married.
Yes but the fragile state and the suppression of women bring more power to those few men who stand on the top of these societies, so technically they can do whatever they want and that is not possible in any other form of society. And these 'fragile' societies are based on the deepest human instincts. The leaders have infinite power, the oppressed people fight for survival. They are able to function in an animalistic way. Of course they depend on more economically developed countries because their own country is not able to provide them what they need. But until they have the money they can buy themselves the highest quality of products and services from foreign countries who are willing to sell it to them because money talks. So this elite minority lives an excellent life because they take everything from their own people who have nothing and they do business with foreign democratic countries because money speaks the same language all over the world.
These messages on women's empowerment are always very critical. It would be great if the chains in the minds of oppressors are broken quickly so that all citizens in one gorup share the same starting stepping ladder in their different life stages. Thanks for creating this video. Best wishes from Turkiye.
THE PROBLEM WAS & IS, THAT FEW PEOPLE WATCHED HIS RALLIES OR SPEECHES. THEY ALSO DID NOT INVESTIGATE HIS BACKGROUND SINCE HE WAS A KID. Had people done their research he would’ve never been voted into office.
A lot of men (and women) believe that a loud man waving money knows more about finance than an educated woman stating facts and figures. I think that's a huge part. I still don't know how some of these people made that decision if they apparently knew absolutely nothing. Did they see a meme? A yard sign? How do you survive when you're that uncritical a thinker?
I see what you did there Economist, with that thumbnail image. Next time, put a blonde woman in a red white a blue T shirt, and talk about how in some states women can be jailed for their miscarriages.
I just feel like it would be wonderful if we women suddenly vanished from Earth out of nowhere and miraculously settled in some distant land, then the men would feel the need of a woman in the society and women would feel the need of men in society. The scenario is absurd as of now, but yeah, all it seems now is that, only miracle can change men's and some women's minds and negative opinions about women's struggles in a society. Nothing else can change it.
Maybe as more marginalized segments of society, societies that fail fail women more steeply. See what’s happening in the U.S., as it fails the effects of that failure are felt most by women, lgbtqi communities, poor, less educated, minorities etc
Most abusive societies embrace one truth while ignoring others, and both first and third world countries do this. Failing to hold men AND women accountable for abuse fails everyone, and both men and women have a responsibility to hold ourselves and each other accountable. The "standard" isn't just whatever we want, it's our lives and the life we help create. Many third world countries understand this on some level but find excuses to put the full burden of life on women. First world countries do this too, but men will periodically take the burden themselves and do incredible or terrible things with it, while providing for women to varying degrees before putting it back on us, often leaving us confused about what took place and what to do next. This is then used as justification for our inferiority and the cycle repeats. When men step up at all, the quality of life improves for everyone but this isn't proof of women's worthlessness, only that men must also bear responsibility for life. Many men in first world countries play the "game" of improving life, while still ensuring abusive practices remain, constantly challenging women to challenge them on these issues to improve life further.
I'd argue that the biggest reason misogyny and other prejudices still exist, is due to a complete lack of Justice. But the higher ups like the chaos, cause it helps them stay on top. Think about it. If men who @bused women and little girls got actual consequences for their actions (all of them, not just a few), misogyny would soon start to disappear. If immigrants who commit crimes & people who commit crimes against immigrants actually faced consequences, racism would also slowly start to disappear. Lack of justice and immediate consequences (even for smaller things, such as bullying) leads to anger & a feeling of doom & helplessness. It leads to chaos and prejudices.
This is such an educational video i hope it reaches everyone and ppl learn to get educated about such pressing matters and help make a change in these countries
''Failing women makes a country fail'' It's absolutely crazy to me that the concept of 'failing people = failed country' still surprises many people.
Because the people who are surprised by it don't think of women as people.
For some reason it rarely occurs to world leaders, politicians and intellectuals that women do, in fact, count as people.
Many people do not count women as humans. Everyone cries about sl@very but ppl forget that women too were and are insl@ved. No one sees it as a human rights issue and many shameless ppl in the comment section itself are trying to justify it
Just look at the USA...
One argument says this: Failing women doesn't fail a country. Infact the opposite is true. Say why? Because the more you empower women the less fertility your nation will have. Eventually it will disappear.
"Why nations that fail 50% of their population fail"
Actually that ratio doesn't exist in reality for any country.
@@JOULE885 it's a rounded number. whether it's 50%, 49%, 48% etc. doesn't matter. even 40% is close enough to half the population
@JOULE885 are you just saying something just so you can say something? Regardless of content, depth, or usefulness?
why they fail? because women are not a motivation for men to develop better more just and comfortable societies. Without women they remain caveman forever, women move men and men move the world. Tale as old as time.
Na they are correct for many of these conservative and backward countries the ratio is higher for men and lower for women. Female foeticides are thing you know and these are incredibly high in such countries. @@MyNameThe1st
Fragile men make a fragile state. Repression is an expression of fear.
Fear and frustration, yes! I learned this in therapy. Many men are desperate for love, caring and intimacy. The one's who can't accept their inner needs and emotions, are usually the one's who get agressive and violent towards women. They have a deep fear of being rejected, left alone or hurted, that's why they seek control and power so nobody can challenge their self-esteem (which basically is low). Secure and mature men, don't even have to think about controlling someone, 'cause ppl who respect themselves do respect others as well, especially women.
Words are nothing
Well said!
@@d.3521 Speak for yourself.

I wish more men would watch and care about these issues. So many think they're "women's issues." Women's rights are human rights.
@@neo1053 That's not true. People need each other - no one group can accomplish anything on their own. Men are half of the population, and the more powerful half at that. They own most of the property and powerful businesses, they are the majority of politicians, they have the power to intimidate women and make them afraid of them. We women need men to support us. Men also need women to support them and value them.
@@neo1053 literally who's "you"?? Never seen a single activist sit back and enjoy the sunlight waiting for other forces to give them rights.

@@neo1053 The problem is that men, who don't treat woman like equals, won't listen to women, because woman isn't equal to men in his mind. And here is where men have to step in.

@@neo1053 Search up the word equity for me please. I need you to realize it's the same ignorant attitude of yours that keeps us back. Women are already taken less serious than men, you think if a group of women protest against one man they're actually going to get something done? No! because the society we live in is unjust. However, a man speaking out in support of women's protest is likely to be taken more seriously, because as a man, they share the same "intellectual ground" for these sexist men running our nations.
@@neo1053 ? Not save. Just speak up against it. The slaves freed themselves but there were white people who protested alongside them because they are human beings. The men in afghanistan have no soul
How strange that the nation is unstable when 50% of their population isn't allowed to contribute to it.
They are missing out on a half the labor force, intellectual capacity and societal participation. I can't imagine anyone is happy if every household has a miserable person in it.
Oh, no what about my pyramid scheme with endless growth?
Should poor countries also try to import migrants in the future?
That's not even the gist of it the problem is is that there are people that are delusional that believe that they're entitled to be regulating other people's energy activities choices revenues whatever resources in this delusion that basically sets up a number of individuals who are really arrogant and truly believe that you and I and the rest are solely here to be a forever profit machine while we are cells are dehumanized and diminished furthermore it is not a requirement to even have a alleged job now that's not to say that you cannot be productive of course you should be self-sufficient and you should be responsible to those of which you create or that you're procreating with and so forth and people have went out of their way to destroy the family unit and then come up with all of these concepts such as racial divide and whatever what have we in order to profit and exploit off of majority of the masses that's all that has occurred there is only one such thing what race is a human being not a human race it's a human being we're human beings we are not racingwe're supposed to be more evolved than this but apparently we are not and then furthermore procreation rights has been sabotaged and disrespected for I don't know how long it's probably since the dawn of time whereas these certain brackets of male and female who have no business making human beings because they lack the personality traits and skill sets in order to raise efficiently a human being so that most of us end up broken scarred and damaged because of these psychologically or rather blatantly wicked or toxic so-called a legend parents of hours many of us never had parents we were doing the raising of our parents and their children more so than us being raised so then across the board all the human beings that are being disrespected and being exploited and abused and all those wounds add up to all this scarring all these problems which basically isolates us from each other whereas we don't want to talk about it don't know how to talk about it don't know how to resolve it because we either are not acknowledging these issues I believe it's very simple how you solve them you would be able to identify who is it that is the main beneficiaries of any sort of anything who is the one that is receiving the revenues for these things and then you're going to follow that and figure out where that is and who that is and who is in charge of that who is old much in this country or all over the world is the mother the father and the child
men compete but they hate it hence they remove women cuz when they don't women out pace them and they can not compete which is why women's rights are the first to go as soon as the male comfort to being outpaced reaches critical mass as we see now in the US hardly had rights for 70 years and the men are too uncomfortable.
And not even 50% contribute to the state. Subtract elders, babies and children (assuming they aren't forced to work) and disabled/unfit for work
They are definitely contributing A LOT. Raising children, taking care of the elderly family members, caring for a home... the problem with that is that it is unpaid labour and also not one that they chose freely
I don't understand people debating this notion that women and men should be equal for a country or society to prosper. Even if you are not a feminist, it's just common sense. If you think about it rationally, a country that doesn't allow 50% of it's population from contributing to it's economy will absolutely be behind another country that does allow it, unless and until the former has a monopoly on some vital resource. So why would you want to tackle problems with one hand tied behind your back?
A society that does not have a fertility rate above 2.1 will cease to exist. A sure fire way to fall below 2.1 is give women university degrees and a career path.
@@CMCNestT So... women should take one for the team?
It’s important to recognise that gender specific roles do exist. Anyone who says that women should go to work like men, compete with men and eventually replace men is insisting on a totally unsustainable approach for the wellbeing of our society.
It’s important to recognise that traditional gender roles should continue to exist. When women go to work like men, compete with men and eventually replace men; it will lead to an unsustainable civilisation.
@@soonny002Lmao individualism will make you extinct because of hypergamy in women.
Also women, especially mothers are very first teachers to young children. It starts with telling night stories, then reading some books, and educating about facts from local history with age appropriate way. Denying women education cripples next generations who often have to repeat brutal history over and over.
Excellent comment! This is the essence of it. A subjugated and uneducated mothers are what helps these obsolete structures and customs to be passed on and on instead of gradually abandoning them.
Highly educated women have some of the lowest fertility rates
They most likely don't have any kids or one in the middle of their 30's
Yes.
We are one of the only mammals that have menopause, with only a handful of other creatures like elephants ond orcas. All very intelligent and matriarchal species, also the females outlive the males quite substantially. Scientist theorize this could be because our species rely on the teachings of women, especially older women. Evolutionarily, it is more beneficial to have the older women stop giving birth and take up teaching and leading, rather than risk her wealth of knowledge and experience potential dying in birthing children with an older body. It is also not as evolutionarily beneficial for the males to survive into old age and spread their wisdom, and thus the males of these species all die younger than the females
It's true, especially the first years (during breastfeeding) the baby is constantly attached to the mother, so the mother plays a huge role in forming that child's perception
It’s very easy: If both men and women are happy, fulfilled, satisfied with life, the society is balanced, the nation is happy, healthy and prosperous. If one side wants to oppress or hurt the other side, the society is unbalanced, sick and such nation can’t prosper. Both working men and women contribute to economy, culture and society equally.

why is it not enough that curtailing womens rights is bad for women/girls? why does it also have to be bad for men for people to take it serious?
Because if entire other half of the population is not having repercussions then their is no real problem to begin with, if there is a systemic problme it will afffect both men and women, no other way around it
because generally people don't care about things until it starts affecting them, obviously. Just look at climate change.
This enrages me. No one cares if something hurts women unless it somehow affects men. (i.e most dont care about feminism unless its linked with racism or lgbt since men are in the latter two groups).
@@Ojas97that systemic problem is called violence and poverty
Because men have the guns.
If buying a bride is not the same as prostitution, i don't know what is.
A lot of parents see their children as pension funds, because the girls leave the family on marriage, they expected a payment for her. The sons are expected to take care of their parents in their old age.
It would be nice if parents do not see their children as commodities but in real life, it is what it is. Parental love is a myth in most part of the world.
@@SlashHarkenUltra men do sporadic chores that are more respected while women are expected to be responsible for multiple daily tasks that takes up hours out of the day and are taken for granted, but sure it's men who are slaves...
No to mention that men have never been corralled into marriage the way women have and a lot of the skills men are taught or socialized to learn can potentially earn you a better living than the skills women are taught or socialized to learn. And on top of that, its been way more normalized for men's tasks to be outsourced.
As for protection, the whole paradigm is nonsensical because women are way more likely to be harmed by our SO than by some stranger. The protection thing is largely peacocking but for other men. You're way less likely to have to protect your wife from anything than she is to be harmed in childbirth (which women are also expected to do for free)
Not prostitution. Slavery.

Women should have equality to men in terms of opportunities, but we should also get paid maternity leave because we have an additional burden of pregnancy that men do not have to deal with. Until the more developed countries learn to do that, the less developed countries will blame “gender equality” for the problems caused by countries that fail to have adequate maternity leave policies.
its called parental leave and fathers need time to bond with their baby as well - both parents should get it
Almost Every country in the world has paid maternity leave except a small few the USA being the most notable

Considering that the wellbeing of children is so interconnected with the wellbeing of the mothers who give birth to them, it isn't surprising
Children are the future leaders after all
Exactly. Studies show the happiness of the mother is directly correlated to the happiness of her children. Your childs success depends on how happy the mother is.
Men who treat women equally and with respect are usually successful. They don't suppress women because they have confidence in themselves.

@@hallooos7585 True, but even in countries with long paid maternity leave birth rates are dropping. Obviously, the solution isn't to take away reproductive rights like the US is doing but money won't solve the issue for most countries. That's why immigration is still necessary.

How is Australia considered one of the LEAST misogynistic countries?!
CSA & SA is rampant and widely ignored.
If Australia is one of the least misogynistic nations, then my heart breaks for the rest of the world
The thing is, you guys have higher reportings of cases like these. In other countries like mine, 87-90% cases of r*pe don't even get reported as women are made to think that r*pe is consensual. Yes, the rest of the world is incredibly horrific.
The graph is based on the nations laws.
It’s because the expectation is so low. Switzerland, Australia, the uk etc are still rampant with misogyny but they do not have half as much gender discriminatory laws like ban of female secondary education, women in high political positions etc as these war torn nations.
because the misogyny is 100x worse in countries ranked high in the chart
That's exactly what I thought. And Switzerland not being misogynist? Oh come on, please! Women got the right to vote only some years ago!
Some men don't like hearing this; but women are the most important part of any society. The men often get so caught up in what is "manly" and what isn't, that everything falls apart if women aren't there to pick up the pieces behind the scenes.

Repeat with me. women are people too. So often we're seen as lesser and that in and of itself is a sick worldview. Different does not mean lesser, it just means we're different from men with our own strengths and weaknesses like men have their own
It's sad that we have to even *remind* people of the fact that women are humans just like men. Pathetic.
We create all humans. Without us our race dies. We provide life and are given suffering, pain, and death in return. Nations, much like households aren't ruled, they're run. We know from history that women that run countries and civilizations prosper. Maybe it's just time to go the way of Lilith and have our own. So many women are done asking to be treated like humans when we're the ones taking on all the sacrifice of creating the human race and most of us are providing for it too. Let misogynists have their male only societies and they can crumble with them.
I don't want women to be women. I want women to be people.
and men are different from us so technically they can viewed as lesser too
Sure I repeat it with you : women are people too! (even though its obvious, but cant hurt haha) I fully agree that women being viewed as less is a sick worldview. I like your statement because you want to uplift women without trying to bring down men. In my feeling in the West many feminists are toxic in trying to uplift women by invalidating men, but you arent. Kudos to you!

@houseplant1016The answer is men. Everything you stated is correct and the fact that they usually don't care that's one of their biggest flaws. However with that being said nothing that person said (OP) was false. For example I hear stories in places like Afghanistan where they brought back stoning women for adultery after the USA left.
@houseplant1016 That is a huge problem, something that as society we need to fix, BUT if you WATCHED THE VIDEO, we are talking about underdeveloped countries where women are often treated worse and more oppressed than their male counterparts. Each gender has their own challenges, that is just how the world is.
@houseplant1016 she/he never mentioned anything denying men did not have to experience challenges and hardships.
This made me emotional. We women face this even in our own home, my own mother and brother fed me less because according to latino culture women eat less.

When the genders are equal and both genders are respected, we see the greatest success. Seeing people as people not commodities, changes so much. If you have a scapegoat then you can blame the scapegoat instead of having to look your problems in the face and actually deal with them. These are things that are universal and never change, but are also the hardest challenges we face. Thankfully, as we become better educated, we are slowly fighting our way forward.

It’s relative, of course. It also depends on how many people we want to import who believe that women, whether in their own families or women of their host country, are not even human.
It's based on the laws not behaviours. Australia doesn't restrict women's movement, education, and finances

More men need to understand that feminism doesn't just help women. It helps everyone.
Literally! In societies where women are pushed down, it puts so much pressure on the man to do everything in society and to provide for his family with no help at all… if he goes down the whole family does, that’s an awful thing to have hanging over one’s head
No, we don't need feminism for that. Infact women should understand feminism is more harm to women than men as they will never be happy with the rights
Depends on your definition of feminism

@@obz1357 That's fair. Some people distort the meaning of it but I just mean like basically treating women like the human beings they are and allowing them equal rights and opportunities.
There are religions in the world that promote having more than one wife. The main prophets did it, so the men follow their lead. It's the same with marriage age. Iraq recently lowered its marriage age to 9 because the main prophet they follow married a girl aged 9. You can't ignore that as a major contributing factor
Somebody finally said it!
Religion is a massive factor in the oppression of women.
There's a reason they're called patriarchal religions. I'd say they are not even spiritual, they're just political movements preaching wars & inequality.

u are absolutely right , i as a girl living in muslim country in a muslim family get so sad and confused whenever i think about this fact....no matter what i try to explain myself but deep down i know it was so wrong and the sad thing is if i ever even say it infront of anyone i would probably be killed buz its blasphemy to even say that the prophet did a wrong thing....i dont want anyone to be in such a helpless situation as i am, just pretending to have faith in something which u dont want to accept it ...
Religion should be a private affair, and not imposed on the mass by extremists.
As a man I always thought the way women were treated is disgusting and unfair.
First world countries COULD have their part in stabilizing other nations if they didn't benefit from the lack of stability. If countries in Africa and Asia were starting to prosper, care about womens, children and workers rights, then rich people couldn't use them as slaves for cheap labor

I find it extremely interesting that mitochondrial DNA is passed through women, and men have it only through their mothers.
Hearing that Switzerland is scoring low on misogyny, as a Swiss i just wanna say that we still have a lot of sexism happening, we were one of the last countries in Europe to give women the right vote. So yea even in the "least" misogynistic country, we still have a lot to improve.

Weak men, fear the strength of women
Very important video! Thank you for highlighting this topic :)
Consider women as a human being first. She has all the natural rights plus human rights. No one can deny that. Stop atrocities against women. I feel bad for African women and women of Afghanistan, Iraq etc. They are very very strong. These weak men can only run with guns on their shoulders ruining the life of society as a whole.
As a man, I'd rather say that nations that oppress any group because of their group identity are backwards. I don't wanna live in a society where I'd be oppressed as a man, and I don't wanna oppress women, LGBT*, people of other races, etc. Everyone should get equal opportunities, so only their merits decide their fate.
As a man u see people as groups, u compartmentalize, as a woman I tell u. We are one. Try to wrap the head around that

I was horrified when my best friend told me about his mother in Pakistan. She was playing with friends, aged 14, when her father came to her and announced that she was marrying the next day. He had effectively sold her to a man almost 20 years older than her. She had her first of 8 children when she was 15. She suffered domestic violence and poverty, and one day, her husband did not come home. He had married a 2nd wife and moved into a house that was part of her bride price. The first wife was left destitute, with eight children and a family that did not care.
When my friend told me, I cried. I had spent my 35-year career teaching in a girls' school here in England. Looking back, many of my female colleagues did little to change the then status quo for girls. They were successful and thought that if they could succeed, then any woman could succeed. They were blinkered. As a man, seeing their situation from the outside, I knew this was very wrong, and I spent my energies teaching my students how to be assertive, how important their role in society should be, and that they should never feel that they couldn't do something just because they were female. There is still a way to go, but I look back with pride in my role in supporting the rights of all people to be treated equally.
Having lived in Australia, I can say that although it might not quite qualify as misogynist on your measuring scale, it sure as hang is sexist.

Restraining women is like putting shackles on the heart of a nation.
Does sexism correlate with religion?
Only Abraham's religions. Other religions can be pretty chill.
@@FictionHubZA Not only in Abraham's religions, liar.
Sexism in non-Abrahamic religions often manifests through doctrines and practices that subordinate women. For instance, in certain interpretations of Jainism, women are deemed incapable of achieving spiritual liberation without first being reborn as men, reflecting a belief in their inherent spiritual inferiority. Similarly, some Buddhist traditions have historically restricted women's access to full ordination, limiting their roles within monastic communities. In Hinduism, texts like the Manusmriti prescribe a patriarchal social order, emphasizing women's subordination to men throughout their lives. These examples illustrate how religious doctrines can perpetuate gender inequalities.
Who cares. Religion is a personal thing. It's the herd mentality that creates easy to manipulate beings. It's not an external reason, it's internal. Men hate themselves and are insecure. And that why the world looks like that and women who collaborate with them have the same problem. Only that they were inflicted with it. Men choose it.
yes.
Yes, sometimes. But there is wiggleroom within religions, if the sect is not too strict.
hasn't every nation failed its women?
No, see Iceland for example .
BTW Japan is one of the outliers, scoring incredibly low on gender equality accdg to UN and WHO stats, but is politically stable.
Also, needs intersectionality discussion. But truly, thank you for the video. It has incredibly important information and again, the basic messages are upheld by data. Makes me think try again of what horrors await the USA w a second Trump term.
I mean they never really paid all the reparations towards all the countries they attacked in WW2, plus they became a superpower due to their resources being more stable post-war, which is honestly unfair, but see where their economy is going these days
On the other hand, we have the Philippines, which has the highest gender equality score in Southeast asia, yet we have low GPD and we're politically unstable, mostly because of the wars below and what our lovely neighbor China has been doing for decades in our economy
So there are so many factors, just that this vid is going to the extreme
They're basically dying out population-wise though. Of course if they alternatively relaxed their xenophobia and allowed more immigrants to become citizens they could up their population that way
Because political stability doesn't depend only on "gender equality."
The countries with low political stability that they mentioned are unstable because of other major factors. Attributing it to sexism is just dumb and ignorant.
The Fact that most of these issues were abolished in India except in some places makes me proud

@@JelBee-ks5mm the overlap is big there
Not only is it necessary for all fathers out there to realize the value and importance of women in society, it is also important that mothers do their hardest in putting an end to raising boys to become despicable men and that involves breaking with traditions.
Parents are the reason and the solution to this problem.
a mother can only do so much. if a son sees that society doesnt respect his mother, that his father treats her badly, he will internalise that no matter how hard she works to teach him well and go on to treat all women how he has seen his mother be treated.
@ the mother has an active role in deciding which father and what society her child is going to grow up with. Of course this comes with limitations in certain cultures but in general (!) it is wrong to portray the mother as a passive and helpless party in a son’s life. That’s one of the many reasons that superficial “awareness” doesn’t work if all we do is hold only the fathers and men accountable.
@@Reckoning2943I’m so sorry but no, mothers shouldn’t have to “try their hardest” to raise men to become better. Men (specifically men in many of these oppressive countries) should learn to be better men and stop oppressing women. A lot of these men, I’m sure were raised by decent mothers who gave them what they needed to survive because theses countries often put males over females and we see that in how male offsprings are raised compare to female offspring.
@ and that’s were you are wrong, mother and father both teach their kids what they were taught and mothers, on average, have the biggest influence on a child development since they, again, on average, spend more time with their kids than their fathers. They play a crucial role in a child’s development of morale and empathy. I can speak from experience that it’s often mothers as well who do their fair share in letting boys be boys and girls be “what is expected of a woman”. If you grew up in a western household or a household that is heavily influenced by those progressive standards, then you know fairly little about certain cultural dynamics here. It shows in your naive take on this topic. I’ve heard way too many stories about how mothers supported a patriarchal system, how mothers would send their sons out to bring the daughters back home from a party, with force if they must, how mothers would silently support “honor” k!llings of girls who misbehave, I could go on for ever.
To exclude mothers and women in general from this conversation is a grave mistake and one of the biggest reasons why we seem to barely make any progress in this.
All humans shape the future of humanity through their children so all humans, regardless of gender, are responsible.
@@Reckoning2943 Im going to go back on what I said then, your statement that “mothers should do their hardest” doesn’t sit right with me. I agree that both parents influence their children but in society when a child grows up to be a criminal, 9 times out of 10 the blame isn’t equally shared and the mother is held at fault. Also, the reason why so many women do their fair share of letting “boys be boys” often stems from the patriarchal system of many societies and households. Not excusing these women but I’m just saying that they are in a way conditioned to think this way. Also, when it comes to the oppression of women in these countries, I believe men are mostly responsible. Honor killings and other sorts of backwards traditions aren’t “silently supported” by women, these women are extremely brainwashed and also, what can they even do? If they speak up they’ll also get killed.
everyone needs to watch this
Weak men fear strong women
Thats what im trying to say ! The anti-feminist dont understand that they arent harming only women but the society as a whole
I love how The Economist focuses exclusively on Islamic countries yet fails to call out the role of Islam in subjugating women.
South Sudan is not an Islamic country. And women are more oppressed in muslims backgrounds than other backgrounds.
There is a difference between North Sudanese and South Sudanese when it comes to violence and gender inequality.

Prohibiting half your country’s population from having a job or an education is unsustainable.
That's why they take away contraception and reproductive education so women have so many children it doesn't matter as much. I remember my mum talking to me about when she went to Pakistan and all the women wanted to know was how they could get contraception.
They hold half the sky.
But only own a very tiny part of the gound they walk and work on!
A nation is only as free as it's least privileged subject.
How about DRC where bride price is not likely practiced and it has a very strong matrilineal and matriarchal system. The true problem is povery and lack of female education.
women, are people. people are a part of society. when societies fail large groups of people everybody fails because societies are made mostly of people. stay with me now...
When women are denied equal opportunities and rights, nations lose out on their full potential for economic growth, social progress, and political innovation. Societies that empower women tend to be more prosperous and stable
In the Orient,they have a saying:”you cannot disrespect women,they hold up more than half the sky.!”🀄️

wow. as an indian girl, this entirely changed my perspective on cultures where men gave dowry, i thought that could be more favourable to women. i guess NOT.
ok big emotional rant coming ahead.
in india we follow a culture where women are the ones that pay dowry and men are gold digggers. it has systematically caused indian women's societal status to deplete, it has lead to mass female infanticide and femicide because daughters were made out to be a big financial liability and having a son was like winning a lottery, you get paid for it, you get a free maid for a lifetime, people used to burn down women in india over not getting a fridge or a tv till the late 2000s. it was so bad that indian goverment had to ban knowing the gender of the baby because as SOON AS people found out it was a girl, they would abort. this led to a gender imbalance too. even tilll this day women are treated like liability in india and men ike kings/
and guess what, 90% indian men and their families are still all about wanting dowry and putting women's parents under financial debt. they do not value the fact that women leave their homes to serve man and his parents, give their youth, labour and body. this is also why i was/am obsessed with marrying OUT of indian culture.
i guess i will just also leave out cultures where men pay dowry bc that also involves violance against women. that leaves me with...NOTHING. no eastern culture treats women like humans? fine. i will not get married.
Yes but the fragile state and the suppression of women bring more power to those few men who stand on the top of these societies, so technically they can do whatever they want and that is not possible in any other form of society. And these 'fragile' societies are based on the deepest human instincts. The leaders have infinite power, the oppressed people fight for survival. They are able to function in an animalistic way.
Of course they depend on more economically developed countries because their own country is not able to provide them what they need. But until they have the money they can buy themselves the highest quality of products and services from foreign countries who are willing to sell it to them because money talks. So this elite minority lives an excellent life because they take everything from their own people who have nothing and they do business with foreign democratic countries because money speaks the same language all over the world.

THE PROBLEM WAS & IS, THAT FEW PEOPLE WATCHED HIS RALLIES OR SPEECHES. THEY ALSO DID NOT INVESTIGATE HIS BACKGROUND SINCE HE WAS A KID. Had people done their research he would’ve never been voted into office.
A lot of men (and women) believe that a loud man waving money knows more about finance than an educated woman stating facts and figures. I think that's a huge part. I still don't know how some of these people made that decision if they apparently knew absolutely nothing. Did they see a meme? A yard sign? How do you survive when you're that uncritical a thinker?
I see what you did there Economist, with that thumbnail image. Next time, put a blonde woman in a red white a blue T shirt, and talk about how in some states women can be jailed for their miscarriages.
I just feel like it would be wonderful if we women suddenly vanished from Earth out of nowhere and miraculously settled in some distant land, then the men would feel the need of a woman in the society and women would feel the need of men in society. The scenario is absurd as of now, but yeah, all it seems now is that, only miracle can change men's and some women's minds and negative opinions about women's struggles in a society. Nothing else can change it.
Facts,
I honestly don't think women's rights will advance until women become violent.
Maybe as more marginalized segments of society, societies that fail fail women more steeply. See what’s happening in the U.S., as it fails the effects of that failure are felt most by women, lgbtqi communities, poor, less educated, minorities etc
Basically all Muslim countries
Islam in general
In one word! Balance! that's it.
Most abusive societies embrace one truth while ignoring others, and both first and third world countries do this. Failing to hold men AND women accountable for abuse fails everyone, and both men and women have a responsibility to hold ourselves and each other accountable. The "standard" isn't just whatever we want, it's our lives and the life we help create.
Many third world countries understand this on some level but find excuses to put the full burden of life on women. First world countries do this too, but men will periodically take the burden themselves and do incredible or terrible things with it, while providing for women to varying degrees before putting it back on us, often leaving us confused about what took place and what to do next. This is then used as justification for our inferiority and the cycle repeats.
When men step up at all, the quality of life improves for everyone but this isn't proof of women's worthlessness, only that men must also bear responsibility for life. Many men in first world countries play the "game" of improving life, while still ensuring abusive practices remain, constantly challenging women to challenge them on these issues to improve life further.
I'd argue that the biggest reason misogyny and other prejudices still exist, is due to a complete lack of Justice. But the higher ups like the chaos, cause it helps them stay on top. Think about it. If men who @bused women and little girls got actual consequences for their actions (all of them, not just a few), misogyny would soon start to disappear. If immigrants who commit crimes & people who commit crimes against immigrants actually faced consequences, racism would also slowly start to disappear. Lack of justice and immediate consequences (even for smaller things, such as bullying) leads to anger & a feeling of doom & helplessness. It leads to chaos and prejudices.
