We had seen
a video who shows the reality in Saudi Arabia respect role gender of women, the
case is a woman who drives in public space (which is prohibit) and dared to
fight to the rights of women to be equal to men. Finally, the woman told that
she made it, she broke the taboo of women who drives, but she have to pass for
hard things like, go to the jail, discrimination of their pairs, among others.
She didn’t
change her culture, but she did it more open to equal respect to women. The
Muslim culture it’s very traditionalistic and conservative, they have to many
rules that they have to respect, but it’s their culture, and it is not the idea
to change it and convert it to the occidental culture.
Nowadays we
think they are crazies to do some things, because our culture it is totally different,
and it is a problem from occidental culture to try to westernize everybody (and
we are made it), so I think that we can’t do judgments to another countries who
act different than our self.
Also, I
don’t saying that I agree with this people, I tell this like a woman, we are
the same like men, we can do the same things, so I want to everybody in the
world apply this respect. In Muslim countries, women can’t be alone in the
street, and it’s negatively perceived acts of relationship in public. And I think
that is terrible to woman, they can’t do whatever they want (in the good sense)
they lives repressed by the society, and they self defend the system.
So, I think
we can’t change a culture, but we need to have limits that not damage anyone. I
appreciate to been born here.
